A Dream Journal Entry

Dream Journal 3/5/2022 (Yes this is a real dream I had)

I had a dream that I was riding with Jessa to a sleepover. I said something small and insignificant and she said, “Honestly, I think you’re racist and homophobic and sexist and annoying.”

I was like, “Huh???”

“You heard me.”

We sat in silence for the rest of the ride and I contemplated what I did wrong. When we arrived at the sleepover, which was being held at a cool building that was somewhat like a McDonald’s PlayPlace for teenagers, Jessa went in ahead of me and said nothing. Inside, the building was made of dark gray concrete with industrial-chic furnishings and LoveSacs everywhere. 

Jessa sat down at a tall table with two other girls and I grabbed some chips. I chatted with one of my friends for a minute, then decided to approach Jessa. I pulled out a stool at her table and tried to hop onto it, but she pulled it away before I could.

“You can’t sit here.”

“I don’t want our friendship to end over whatever it is that’s happening. I really value our friendship.”

“Yes, I know you do, you always say it and it’s annoying!”

“But-”

And then my alarm went off.
