Last night I had the strangest dream

Well, I had!

The dream starts in that fuzzy manner all dreams start - you don’t quite remember the beginning. What I do remember was that it was sort of like a movie, which I was either watching or being part of - in that dreamlike manner where you can’t be quite sure. It’s sort of a teen movie, and I’m the protagonist - nerdy kinda guy. I remember two scenes from the movie. In one of them, the protagonist/me has this girl he fancies telling him she’s moving away and he never really had a chance. In the second, the protagonist (at this scene it’s clear I’m just watching it) has another girl, is standing in some kind of a line and telling some kind of a strange joke, which I don’t remember but which was very strange indeed. I don’t know any of the people in the movie IRL.

I wake up. I think “That was a strange dream”. I get to computer, log to either Poly or Straight Dope and start to find information about the movie. Amazon has some specs - it’s called “Homeownership 2”, is indeed a teen movie, and one of the actors is Susan Sarandon. (No, I don’t know what she was playing). Suddenly, I notice I only have a few minutes to get to the bus to go to school. I run through the kitchen, grab a piece of bread, and stuff it in my mouth as I run to toilet to take a whiz. However, the pee is coming annoyingly slowly.

I REALLY wake up. I think “DAMN that was a strange dream”. I pace around a bit, then write the whole dream (or the parts I can remember) up so I won’t forget it. The, about a hour later, I manage to get sleep again.

"…I sailed away to China,
in a little rowboat to find ya,
you said you had to get your laundry clean.
Didn’t want no one to hold ya,
What does that mean?
You said…

Ain’t nothin’ gonna break my stride…"

Sorry…couldn’t help myself!!

Now it will be stuck in your head ALL day!!

MUWAHAHAHAHHAHAH!

Last night I had the strangest dream.
I sailed away to China
in a little rowboat to find ya
and you said you had to get your laundry done.
Didn’t want no one to hold you–
What does that mean?
Sorry. :slight_smile:

Biter.

Sorry … I already had a Grand Funk Railroad block in place …

*Seems I got to have a change in scene,
‘Cause every night I have the strangest dream.
Imprisoned by the way things used to be,
Left here on my own or so it seems.
I got to leave before I start to scream,
But somebody locked the door and took the key.

Feelin’ alright?
I’m not feelin’ too good myself…*
