Dreams are Real

"People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes."
-Neil Gaiman

Evacuation

Dream #56: I heard alarm bells. There was a radiation leak on campus and everyone had to evacuate. Some of the chemists I know got excited and took their Geiger counters and other equipment out in order to investigate. Skateboard in hand, I headed home. I was just grateful for the respite from work.

I don't skate!

Dream #55: I had forgotten all about a presentation I was supposed to give! My stomach sank as I checked the schedule posted to the auditorium doors. I had just four hours left to prepare. Maybe there was a way to finagle an extension?

Ugh, I guess I'll just have to wing it...

It wasn't going to be pretty, but at least I would show up. I planned to wear a white, plastic mask.

persona, anxiety.

Menagerie

Dream #54: An old friend was hosting a house party, but I was hesitant to attend. After some deliberation I decided to go. Upon arrival, the lawn was full of debris and dozens of live animals.

Were these her pets? I hope she is taking care of them...

As I entered the house, I was greeted by friends and someone offered me a drink. It was made of crushed ice and a dark purple syrup. They said it was a "Ravenswood Slush."

I tried to make small talk by asking if anyone had an interesting dream to share and internally plotted escape.

Discomfort, concern. "Ravenswood" wine??
