I bought some new curtains for my bedroom to replace the horizontal blinds and was amazed at how much light they cut out. When I went to bed last night it was extra dark in my room and I think I slept better for that. And I don’t know if it was the darkness + better sleep, the early morning, or the hot pockets I had for dinner – but I had some messed up dreams this morning. I wrote them down when I woke up – here are some highlights.
1. I was best friends with the actress Shannen Doherty, who was also the greatest thief in the world. She was really cool to hang out with and in the dream, she was wearing gloves with mirrors on the finger tips so she could see behind her – and to not leave fingerprints. She brazenly walked into a jewelry store in the middle of the day, stole a bunch of jewelry and put it on, and then walked out – un-noticed. She and I walked down the street for a few minutes before she decided she didn’t like what she had stolen and we went back to the store to return it.
2. I was in a toy store with a bunch of kids. They were running around playing tag and one tagged me and said, “You’re it!” I shook my head sadly and replied – “I’m sorry, I’m too tall to play tag,” The kids were all visibly shaken by the notion that it was possible to grow too tall to play tag.
3. I was in the lobby at work – which was also a diner – talking to some friends. I said something clever and one of them commented that I was clever. To which I replied, ‘Yep, I’m also really really humble. Like, totally the king of humility,”
Which is a line I use in real life.
I woke up, wrote down my dreams, and got an early start to a busy day.
