"I had a dream there was a guy who was quitting Facebook and I was in his house and just hanging out there like at a party with a bunch of other people but even though he posted he was quitting Facebook he wouldn't come out of his room and he only would send messages back on Facebook. So that seemed kind of weird that he would only respond back on Facebook even though he said he was quitting Facebook."

"I was at my work but it was also my grandmas house and there was a fire drill. It was a regular may 1st for drill so i knew it wasn't real. I didn't want to join in the fire drill because i wanted to keep working so I decided to hide under a couch. When I looked under the couch my brother was already hidden there. I disturbed his spot so I re camouflaged him but before I could I heard my mom and aunt coming who were the ones checking if everyone was out. So I ran to another room and carefully closed the door so they wouldn't hear it and hid there under a footrest. Just as I got under they came in. I wasn't sure I was hidden enough and they were checking around the room. I woke up"

"There was a wholesaler art my house who I was previously working extensively with. He was having a meeting so after that I met with him. It seemed he was rolling out a website that would be competing but he wanted to work with me again. So we came to an agreement on how to make it happen. He morphed into another guy who I look to as a mentor and we came to a deal. I was younger like a older teenager in the dream and my brothers and sisters were there and we were all doing homeschooling stuff but it was like real work that was teaching us directly like unschooling and we were all working on projects that would make us money. It seemed a lot better than sitting in a classroom. "
