false awakening

July 11, 2014

Last night was my second night with the remee sleep mask. No lucid dreams with it yet but it's already helping my dream recall. So for the past few days i've been talking about going to six flags with some of my friends for my birthday this saturday, it's all I've been thinking about because I've had so much going on with work I was thinking it would be a lot of fun and a good time to relax and take my mind off work. A couple days ago after telling my manager that it's my birthday on saturday and how bad I've been wanting to go to six flags, he tells me that we have a division conference that I should really be attending. So instead of a fun day at the amusement park celebrating my 18th birthday, I have to wake up at six in the morning on not just any saturday but my birthday saturday to take two hour drive over to a conference meeting. I was bummed to hear that my plans to have fun for the first time in a week fell through the floor, but i guess it's not all bad because my manager said that it's an important meeting and will really help me out with my job in the long run.

I woke up in a room that reminded me a lot of my bedroom. I awoke to my cell phone ringing, and when I hopped out of bed and grabbed it I saw that I had 96 missed calls and 44 unread messages... Then I realized that i'm just outside the park! my friends and I had just taken a trip out to six flags and I was sleeping because I was tired after the long car ride to get out there. I figured all these calls and texts were because my friends were in the park having fun while I was passed out, so I ran out the door and ended up in the park. I remember running up some stairs to get on a roller coaster, jogging past all of the people waiting on line like I had a fast pass. In the corner of my eye I passed someone that I recognized standing on line, I stopped for a second and he made a quick joke about a girl that I recognized standing on line behind him. He called her a dyke and I laughed because she looked like a dude. Moving on past the rest of the line, I got in the front seat of the roller coaster. I remember going up, up, up, then as soon as we hit the top and started going down... I woke up.

My phone was ringing. It was my manager calling me, after realizing that I was never really at the amusement park at all I looked at the time and saw that I was late for work. So I took a quick shower, got dressed and ran out the door, hopped on my bike a blew past every car that was crawling going twenty miles an hour in front of me. I was flying because I was really late to work, and really annoyed that I wasn't going to the park this weekend for my birthday. After dozens of illegal maneuvers I ran into the office to find my manager tapping his fingers waiting for me.
