This morning I watched as an Absolut Vodka truck ran a red light.

Not sure why it struck me as something I would dream, but it was real.

Got any “surealities”?

I don’t know if this qualifies, but I once saw a one-armed man feeding branches into a wood chipper.

I went to a Loverboy concert many years ago. They came out on the stage all doing their old songs and _the entire audience sat still._ I was dying to get up and dance and kept looking around like WTF is wrong with these people? I remember thinking that it was like something out of The Twilight Zone. Finally after a few songs some people went up to the space in front of the stage and danced so I did too - but those first few songs were surreal.
