I dream that it’s the last week of school and I’m planning to skip my finals. Again. (I’m fascinated at this point, nothing like this ever happened during my actual high school finals, so it’s obviously a manifestation of guilt and anxiety, maybe because I dropped out of college? But then why HS?) I also dream about a wonderfully round lady teacher hugging me and I’m just leaning into it because “I’ll take my affection where I can get it”.

It’s Been Years Since I’ve Been In Venice And It Haunts Me Still.
I dream that I don’t wanna go to school, I want to stay home and watch girls kiss on Lucifer. My dad is obviously pissed, I fake a cough and my sister jumps to my defense, says I obviously have Covid and it would be cruel to make me go.
We go to Venice instead. My sister and I are on a water bus and we miss our stop, I see my dad looking at us from the crowd, his disappointed face is a lion’s. We get off at the next stop, my sister is freaking out because we don’t know where we are, but I’m the Venice expert after all, I guess we’re near the train station. Still, I hope it’s all just a bad dream and I’ll wake up safely in my bed, instead of having to travel all the way back home. I jump up and down, trying to wake up with no avail. We go buy train tickets, the journey is gonna be several hours long and we won’t be back home until next morning. I groan and groan and wake up safely in my bed.
I Am Trying To Sell The Dang Camera
I dream that I’m selling my old camera on eBay. A girl from my school says she’ll take it and that sounds great, now I won’t even have the hassle to package and ship the camera. I talk to the girl, she’s a teen and seems a bit taken aback that I’m an adult. She asks my age, I say I’m 34. “You’re old!” she says, I’m a bit annoyed because I really don’t feel that old.
I clean and sanitize the camera and give it to the girl, she immediately leaves for a far away city. We’re texting that night when I suddenly realize we haven’t discussed payment yet. I write her that I’m gonna need 240 bucks for the camera, she immediately ghosts me.
Something Like This Might Have Actually Happened In High School.
I dream that I’m on a school trip, sharing a hotel room with a bunch of girls. We’re all in the same giant bed and I just want to sleep but the girls are chatting and giggling and listening to music, it’s driving me crazy and I finally snap. Everyone is mad at me because I’m so weird and no fun. The morning after the girls are mysteriously well rested while I’m a wreck.
Then I dream that I’m in Noelle Stevenson’s house watching a Pinocchio movie, it’s dark and entertaining but when Noelle arrives with some friends I stop watching because I don’t want to be a bore. He’s annoyed at me anyway and that’s fair, after all I’m so slow and irritating. We’re all about to go out and party but I’m not dressed yet, and then I have to run back because I forgot the puppy he gave me. There’s a lot of puppies in the house though, all white with black and brown spots. I grab one hoping it’s mine.
I’m Trying To Jot These Down The Moment I Wake Up, Results May Vary.
I dream that there’s some sort of civil war at my school and students are killing each other and turning into monsters. My cousin has my cat hostage and wants me to write her homework, instead I use my magic powers to teleport to a different school and pay someone to give me their book report. I fly back and look for my cat; a wizard is feeding her so when she’s fat enough he can kill her and make a hat with her fur. I challenge the wizard to a magic duel, I’m much better than him because I don’t need a wand, all I need is to wag my finger. My cat is saved.
Fun Times.
I dream that my brother wants to go to Kpop idol college (HILARIOUS). I dream once again about needing to get my high school diploma (I GOT IT TWO DECADES AGO GIVE IT A REST BRAIN!!). And I dream about an old man watching me poop (TYPICAL).
Same, Girl, Same.
I dream that it’s the last day of school (but it’s May! I think privately); some sort of guerrilla is once again happening outside the building. I go home and I’m welcomed by a basket of rescue kittens: oh, right, I should bring them to the vet at some point. I sit down to play Sims, my current family has a child with green skin and a “hate teenagers” personality trait. Indeed, she kills a teen, and I have to move the whole family next to a beach amusement park.
Hey, At Least School Is Over
I dream that it’s the last day of school, I stay behind with a visiting student from West Asia; his name is Ana and he’s really sweet, I feel we have a connection. We watch several Person of Interest episodes until he says it’s time for him to take a plane and leave. I give him a book about the history of religions as a partying gift.
I want to go home too but there’s unrest in the streets, guerrilla fighting and things are on fire. Some boys shoot and miss with a sniper rifle from a balcony, they’re giggling. It’s pouring rain.
An Eventful Day I Guess
I dream that I’m at school, it’s a three hour class and everybody else is tired and bored, but I’m very excited because the teacher started writing in Japanese on the blackboard and I want to show off the little Japanese I know. Finally it’s time for a break, but before recess all the girls have to go through an ob-gyn visit. When it’s my turn I tell the doctor I have my period, he says “You’re excused [dramatic pause] this time.”
I go to my cousin’s house, bringing a stray mama cat with two kittens I found. Brie Larson is there because she goes to my school, I think this is an important fact that I’ll need to write on this very dream blog, even though people could just google where Brie Larson goes to school and find out where I’m from. Later I go back to collect the kittens, I kinda don’t want to separate them from their mama but she died in the meantime, so everything turned out okay.
I go to the supermarket with my cousin. I’m wearing only flip flops on socks and it starts raining outside, so I sit in a corner and start putting on my shoes. Some old ladies start teasing my cousin because her mom died. I tell them to fuck off. My cousin thanks me.
Fat Shaming! Kidnapping! Pee!
I dream that I’m watching a movie? Or at least I think so, I’m not there but Eddie Murphy is. I also notice he’s very fit, even though he was rather fat in Coming 2 America.
The good guys are trying to find a kidnapped two-year-old, he disappeared from his house and nobody saw anything. His young mom is at home now, she also has a baby and has just put him to bed. Someone climbs the stairs to her apartment, we don’t see their face. They sneak into the baby’s room and give him a tranquilizer shot. Suddenly the mom comes back and they hide behind the open door. They jump on her, give her a shot too. She says
God, you look awful
and falls asleep. When she comes by, the baby is gone.
(I also dream that I’m showing my classmates a new line of backpacks made with human pee. They’re biodegradable and colorful, I’m not surprised to learn everybody wants one.)
