I had the weirdest dream last night...


*snore*Oh no! Not....8-BITS?*snore*

...is how the story usually begins. I come into work (see, I was able to relate it to the workplace) and someone starts their conversation off like this. Or if you're like me, your fiancee texts you with these words. Regardless, this post today is about a dream that I remember bits and pieces about. It just felt so vivid and in lack of a better word, AWESOME, that I just wanted to share with all my readers. Plus, if you're looking out the window at the snowy/rainy/ugly day outside (while you are at work), maybe this will brighten up your morning.

So where was I? Oh yes, I remember hanging out with my friend John at someone's house. The room we were in did not resemble any room I recalled, but it did take place in a bedroom (not that kind of story, sheesh!) and a living room. What I remember was is that were giving fighting lessons to people and I had a super-power. That's right, my power was that I was able to look at any action figure (in this case it was X-Men action figures) and I could turn into that person. So, if I looked at the Wolverine action figure, I was able to transform my body into that of Wolverine as well as get his powers. Oh yes, this did happen (in my dream).

After I changed into Wolverine, I went into the living room to fight this guy and his daughter (I think) for a little bit. I remember the TV was on, but I do not know what was playing. We fought for a bit and then I decided I wanted Cyclops powers, so I went back into the bedroom looking for the action figure. I couldn't find it, but was holding a Magneto or Sentinel figure when John came in and say "Don't be cheap and turn into one of them". I said I wasn't and was looking for Cyclops. Stay with me people, it gets weirder.

After a bit of searching, the guy (who I presume to be the father) and his wife (who just appeared out of nowhere) came in and saw that Madagascar was playing on the TV. We started into a conversation pertaining to children's movies and if I liked them. I told them I never saw the second Madagascar (I don't even know if there was a second one) and that my taste for movies had changed. At that point, I think I found the Cyclops figure, but woke up from my dream.

I tried desperately to try and go back to that dream, but alas, it was too late. I was unable to return and was now forced to just write it down like a past memory. But yeah, that was morning before I found out I had to travel in the worsening weather. I'm now safe and sound at work, but worry as to how the roads will be later today. I'm hoping we will be able to leave early before all the cars are on the road, but who knows?

Sometimes I think this job is a bad dream (see what I did there?!).
