Inception

I was outrageously tired today at school.  It's been a long week, and I've been missing out on precious hours of sleep.  Two out of the three days a week I'm at school, I've taken naps in my car after lunch, but before my 1 o'clock class.  Just short power naps.  Today was the second day that I fell asleep, but my nap dragged on for about an hour, and I ended up sleeping through the majority of my English Comp. 1 class while I was in my car.  So when I fell asleep this afternoon, I had a dream...

I had this dream that I was in the commuter lot, in my car, just waking up from one of these lunch-time snoozes.  I had dozed off.  I was dreaming about real life as it was happening.  Weird.  As I sat groggily up in the car and readjusted my seat, I realized that if I didn't get a move on, I was going to be late for my 2 o'clock Music Listening class.  For some reason, I was convinced that even though I was in the commuter parking lot I still had to travel to school.  So I turned on my car, backed out of my parking space, drove once around the block, and parked back into the same exact parking space I had just left.  In my mind, I had now arrived at school.  Now I had to book it to get to class. 
As I exited my car, I stepped out on the wet gravel lot (apparently it had been raining) and instantly realized that I didn't have shoes on.  The muddy water was quickly soaking through my thin socks.  I reached back into the car and saw my green and blue striped slip-ons (which I don't have in real life) and quickly put them on.
I started walking and saw my friends and co-workers Kat Murray and Brenda Klingman, and another old friend singing camp songs while walking through the parking lot towards the commuter bridge that spans Lightstreet Road.
I joined in on the camp songs, and somehow we had made up ballroom dance motions to the song and I was twirling around in circles, but we suddenly stopped, joined hands, and spanned the width of the entrance to the commuter bridge so that no one could pass.  We just stood there blocking the pathway.

That's when I woke up--for real this time.  It was dawning 2 o'clock, and I was going to have to book it to make it to my Music Listening class. 

So I guess I had my very own case of the simplest form of Inception.  I fell asleep in real life and woke up in a dream exactly as if I was really still awake.  Christopher Nolan, I believe that if you ever feel the need to ruin the first Inception with a sequel, then you should audition me as the lead role.  You can still keep Ellen Page though.  In fact, the storyline should be that her character and my character fall in love or something.  Yeah, that'd be cool.  Plan it, man.
