I’ve been having nightmares a lot lately. People are always mad at me in them. Usually, the dreams are some variation of the following three:

 

– Mom is mad at me (always for something ridiculous – last night it was because I was eating Pirates of the Caribbean sugary cereal)

– Work is mad at me (i.e. I’m late, forgot something, or the very worst – trying to make coffee and watch movies at the same time and screw everything up)

– AU is mad at me (i.e. Security comes because they find beer bottles in the dumpster, or I forget about a final exam and my profs freak out)

 

What does it all mean???
