I dream that I’m watching Claire Saffitz making almond ice cream. She churns and churns and churns, makes it entirely by hand without using any machine. I’m real impressed.

I Was So Smug Right There In The End
I dream that I’m lured on a ship with a group of friends with the promise of ice cream. The ship is rather big and looks like it’s made of metal containers welded together. It can travel on road and also jump over hills, which we do.
My friends tell me they need to hide, so I suggest my uncle’s mountain house. We’re already nearby so we get off the ship and start to climb, arrive in the middle of the night. I say everybody be quiet because he’s sleeping. We hear the sound of a toilet flushing and my uncle appears on the door, he says we woke him up anyway and let us in. My friends are hungry so he says they can eat anything from his vegetable garden.
At this point I see my friends as if through an anime opening, and I realize we are indeed in a cartoon episode. I read online that fans are debating about the setting and I’m fuming because, of course it’s set in my town! Didn’t they see the buildings, the architecture? I go back and rewatch the flight of the container ship, yes, see there, how it jumps over a castle? That is my town’s castle, no doubt.
I’m looking forward to share my knowledge to the rest of the interenet, when my alarm rings, leaving me disappointed.
It Has Been Warm Here Lately
I dream that I’m at the ice cream parlor, there are so many flavors and I can’t decide. I start with mint, the ice cream man says mint is a complicated flavor, do I know what to pair it with?
Chocolate chip? I suggest. No, he said very seriously, you need something with chemical balance. I end up letting him decide, “as long as it’s crunchy”.
The moment I get my cup I drop it to the ground. Now it’s covered in hair and I try to clean it with tweezers, I waste a lot of time and everyone’s annoyed at me.
Hatred For Cousin And Love For Dark, Two Constants In My Life
I dream that I’m staying at a friend’s house somewhere far away. His mom starts packing because we’re apparently leaving in the middle of the night, she stuffs inside the bag two boxes of cherry ice cream. I sneak to the apartment above where Katharina from Dark and her children are fast asleep. I whisper to them that they are perfect, never ever change.
We leave and my friend’s mom stops the car in some random city. We go to a famous vet that needs to cure our cat, or possibly our owl. There are a bunch of people in line, all pissed because the vet turned out to be a scam. My friend’s mom, who is now my Aunt M., breaks down the door. The vet is cowering in a corner, terrified. My friend who is now my cousin sits at the table and is now using all my stickers on a postcard. I’m extremely upset at this. My aunt is disappointed at the both of us.
Eventful Holiday
I dream that I’m interning at a tobacco store but nobody seems to pay attention to me. The next day is a holiday, I’m at the beach wearing a bikini, with my feet in the water. My parents come pick me up, there are four starving kids on the beach and my mom buys them ice cream pops. I go home and up some stairs, hiding inside an incredibly tiny outdoor toilet. I place an old TV (the kind with antennas and a big butt) on the toilet seat, sit on the floor in front of it and proceed to watch Glee as I eat my lunch.
Edible Ride
I dream about visiting an amusement park. The ferris wheel is a giant, round ice pop, either red or pink, I can’t remember. Suddenly the upper half breaks down, raining ice cream on everyone. Thank God, I think, that thing has been up since the 1970s. Now they can build a prettier one.
I Never Miss Work But I Think About It A Lot And That’s Enough To Make Me Feel Guilty
I dream that I’m late for work. I lie and tell my cousin a tree fell in front of my house, a fire truck had to be called and I couldn’t get away sooner. She tells me to call the police and I don’t know how long I can keep up the lie.
After work I go back home and my old crush is waiting for me there. He wants to buy me ice cream, I tell him my favorite flavor is crème caramel. My cat finds the front door open and tries to run away, he catches her and she purrs in his arms. I find it very endearing, my cat is typically so mean with strangers.
No Ice Cream For You!
I visit an ice cream parlor (that also sells shrimp for some reason). There are too many people gathered behind the counter waiting for their turn, the staff is just walking around chatting instead of serving and it takes a lot of waiting before it’s my turn.
Finally my number is called and I ask for two boxes of ice cream for a total of 8 bucks. I’m told I’m not allowed to buy two small boxes, I’ll have to take the big one that costs 17. I get angry and storm out, yelling that their business suck. I get home and furiously start writing a Google review.
Work Day
I’m late for work, and I don’t even have my coat because I came home for lunch wearing my employee jacket. As I rush out in the cold my sister is sitting in front of the TV watching Sailor Moon.
In town I come across two old ladies, they are hanging outside an ice cream parlor and talking about phones. I stop and invite them to visit my store. They ask me if I’ve already done my homework. I say,
Ma’am, I’m 33.
The store looks exactly like my home, but there are a bunch of desks in the living room, with girls sitting at them working. Boss Lady calls to announce she’s running a fever and will have to stay at home.
I go to my room, where my cat is sleeping. Just then Boss Lady arrives even though she said she wouldn’t, and she looks pale and sick, with bags under her eyes. A coworker whispers to me that she looks horrible, B.L. turns around angrily and asks what we are talking about. I try to look innocent and say we’re just really worried about her. I go back to my job which is apparently cooking, and we are using Bluetooth plates to share recipes.
Now I’m watching (or living?) a movie about an Indian woman flying to Italy to visit her children and grandchildren. Her plane crashes, killing her husband. She is confined in an embassy, where she has a series of wacky hijinks with ladies of all nationalities.
The woman wants to reach her family in northern Italy, but a massive flood is stopping her. Meanwhile her family is watching the flood on the news: the pets recognize their owners’ grandmother on TV and leave on a crazy adventure to try and rescue her.
A Little Walk
I’m walking with my siblings in town, we’re looking for a stationary store. We stop to look through the window of a new ice cream parlor, they have a giant vat of vanilla cream covered with Nutella.
We are now walking on a mountain road, you can see the night sky so perfectly from here. I try to take a picture, but people keep walking in front of the camera and it’s so frustrating. A UFO appears, and still people are pushing me and trying to grab my phone so I can’t take a clear picture and I’m so, so, so angry.
