sometimes the dream world and the real intersect in a really bizarre way.

it’s sunday in boston, and the fall weather is gorgeous, but i haven’t been able to see much of it today. mostly because my body was telling me: you’re tired, you need to rest. so that’s what i did. it’s 3pm now, and i just woke up, again. earlier, i was reading in bed with my laptop, fell asleep again.

i feel super refreshed! i also feel like i could have kept on sleeping and sleeping, crazy. two funny things in my dreams:

i was in amsterdam, with a classmate from annenberg, looking for belgium belgian fries. i haven’t had them in so so long. and suddenly in my dream, i crave them. like there is no tomorrow.

another weird thing, walking around in the mall (a mall in holland!), looking for the stand with the belgium belgian fries, i can’t find it. music is blaring in the background. it is that song “til the end of time” from lau siu wai and the other dude. i remember thinking in my dream “wow i just heard that and now they are playing it here in the mall”.

that’s because i listened to it while i was working behind my laptop. so i remembered this in my dream! i sometimes think the dream world and the real are separate realities. not that they don’t influence each other, because of course they do, but if somethings transfer, they warp in the process, change slightly. but in this dream, the me in the dream, clearly remembers something i did in the real, before i fell asleep. pretty mind boggling. (i’m sure i’m not the only one out there, but this is the first time i have a recollection of this after i wake up). enjoy the song (a total classic polygram (now defunct label) karaoke song – from the Laser Disc era – check out the hairdo of the dude – a total relic of the nineties – didn’t we all have a haircut like that at some point?!)

ps anyone knows where i can get some good fries in boston? anyone?
