Boring AND thrilling!

I have really boring dreams.  It’s just who I am.  I rarely remember my dreams, and when I do, they’re like, “I counted my fingers and there were five!” (made up) or “I walked down the stairs in my dorm and then, when I got to the bottom, I woke up!” (not made up).  If I were to follow my dreams, I would end up in Boring, Oregon (an actual place!).

But in India, I had my first boring dream that was ALSO THRILLING.  It sounds impossible but that’s why I am here: to educate you.  So:

I DREAMED

That I dreamed I cut my fingernails, but then I woke up and I actually didn’t.

THEN I WOKE UP AND

I actually had cut my fingernails.

I have never before had a dream that made me simultaneously think “WOAH NELLY!  Am I in the Matrix?  Is reality a social construct?  OH MY GOD I need some sort of snack” and “This is so effing boring.  Fingernails.  I am dreaming about my own fingernails.”

It was groundbreaking.
