The Dreams of Hannah

I dreamed my creative writing instructor from last year came to me and said, "I hope you don't mind, but I took one of your stories from last year and published it under your name. You won all sorts of awards, and now they want to make it into a movie starring Eddie Murphy."

I dreamed I was an hour late to my Creative Writing final (which isn't really a final at all, we're just folding and stapling the litmag) so I just didn't show up. Then I went to my instructor's house to ask her if there was anything I could do to make up for it. She said, "No, I'm sorry, if you miss the final, you flunk the class. Sorry, there's nothing I can do. It's a rule." I thought she was going to be really ticked at me, but she was very pleasant about it.

Then Christy showed up at my house and told me she had an opportunity to interview Norbert and did I want to come along? I said of course I did, but when we got to his house, he was like a drunken mess and just kept talking about weird random stuff. I got scared and left.

I dreamed I was playing some sort of computer game, where you would keep trying to get tasks done and then things would come up to prevent it. Like you had to leave the house, but you couldn't leave without your oxygen helmet. So you had to go back to get your oxygen helmet, but you couldn't get the microwave door open. (For some reason you kept your oxygen helmet in the microwave.) So you got the door open, but then you couldn't figure out how to strap on the helmet. And so on. If you got something wrong, you died and then had to start all over.

I was the very first person to play this game and then, for some reason, it really caught on and people started playing it all the time. The initial game page started looking like a MySpace profile, with the Top 8 space being filled with the last eight people to sign up for an account on this game site. I got so ticked with having to open up the "See All Friends" page and then scroll down to like the 200th page to find my site, that I stopped playing the game.

Then the game sort of half turned into reality. I was playing it, but it was really me (except I looked like Sarah L) and I was standing on this wooden staircase that looked sort of like a fire escape. It was really foggy. My creative writing instructor from the college came walking up the stairs and said, "Isn't this game great?" I said sure, even though I didn't really like it. She continued with, "And don't you just love how once you say something you can't ever take it back?" I said, "Actually, I don't like that very much," and she said, "Oh, well, I love it!" and just continued up the stairs.

I dreamed I was in Creative Writing and Caitlin was there but didn't have any of her stuff done, so she said, "Maybe if I scribble all over it, she won't notice!"

Then Amanda V., the class instructor, showed up, but instead of sitting in a chair for the class she decided to sit on a filing cabinet. She was also eating yogurt. I was talking about something and somehow I accidentally said that I wanted to marry a word. (Erm... yeah. *shrug*) Amanda just gave me a look and said, "Well, er, good luck with the word wedding." I tried to explain what I meant but everything just got more and more confused.

I dreamed I missed a Creative Writing class and so had to go drop my assignment by my instructor's house instead of handing it in in class. My assigment was to bring two potted plants by her house and put them outside her door. As we drove away from the house, my mom said, "I hope that's the right house, otherwise some guy is going to get an awful lot of flowers!" And then I looked back and saw that there was some girl putting a kitten inside one of the potted plants so I knew it was right house.
