Mezzanine

Last night Andrea and I watched The Cell.

We went to bed around eleven I think and I remember telling myself that I was going to remember my dreams when I woke up and that "I can control my dreams." I slept badly the first half of the night, then Andrea got up to go to the bathroom, then I did the same. I fell back asleep after she turned down the heat.

I dreamed that I was at my elementary school that I went to in Illinois. It was snowing and there was snow al over the ground. I was at the corner of the lot that was closest to my house where I lived right across the street. I remember that I was about to walk off in one direction when it hit me... I live in Virginia, Illinois is a few states away, I must be dreaming. I was elated and the biggest smile came across my face. I looked across the field to where the playground should be and I decided that it would be a great idea to run up this hill of snow and slide on my stomach across the field to the other side. So I did and when I got there it turned into a farmer's market and my parents were there. It was then that I lost control and lost the dream completely.

Later in the night I dreamed that I was at a bar or a restaurant. Andrea ordered some food and the waitress brought her three plates of french fries that were all half full. She told me she had something special for me and she brought me one french fry. I held it up to the light and there was something inside of it. Whatever it was was moving like it was alive. Then I squished the french fry between my fingers and the thing came out of the french fry and scurried away under the table. The waitress came back and said it was a Mexican cockroach french fry. I woke up and just thought how could someone get a live cockroach into a french fry??
