bogus dreams 1

(I have been having a lot of really really weird dreams recently.)

I dreamt I was sent on an emergency business trip to Scotland. I was to fly there Tuesday to arrive Wednesday and be refreshed for the meeting Thursday, and then fly back immediately Thursday afternoon. No problem, say I, except that THIS IS TUESDAY MORNING RIGHT NOW. So I get on the plane and realize I don't have any of the essentials - those being extra underwear, appropriate trousers for a meeting, iphone charger, and book to read on the long-ass flight. So the pilot somehow learns of my plight and drives the half-empty plane to my house, because he knew my dad. Except that he drove it to my PARENTS' house. (I moved out 5 years ago and everyone thinks I still live there. This is true and frustrating even in real life) I ask to borrow an iphone charger from my dad, ask him to get one from my house when he goes up to feed my cat, and then we spend what seems like hours taking care of five minutes' worth of stuff and I start worrying about holding up the entire plane. It is still in the driveway.

(then my phone rings and wakes me up)
