4:21am

Do you ever have one of those dreams that are so real/amazing that you wake up either a)believing it was true and b)as a result feel out of place and a bit disappointed that you aren't where you thought you were. I don't. Honestly, I hardly even remember my dreams I'm so beat by the end of the day and when I wake up I normally have 100 things running through my mind.

But, last night I woke up at 4am and I was wide awake. I was in the middle of a dream where I was sharing a laugh with a friend whom I haven't seen in years and I suddenly woke up, ready to go. Was it true? I was I really going back?

Of course my roommate Olaf was still up and we went outside to chat. The clouds were red (probably because of the sun rising or the end of the world, I couldn't tell) and the moon, partly covered, shone bright white, an auspicious prelude to next week's debacle if I ever saw one...
