"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 walked into the farmhouse where I grew up, I was doing things in the kitchen I looked down and muff my dog who died 35 years ago was looking at me smiling and my best friend Kathy's three dachshunds we're picking fur matts off the muff. I realized my friend was going to be worried sick about her dogs. What was very surprising as they were very happy and not parking and they bark constantly. I tried calling her on my phone for some reason I had a Rick and Morty app that was glitchy and wouldn't let me text Kathy... I tried and tried and tried and I couldn't get a hold of her. My sister Barry shows up and tells me that something is wrong with my phone case so I take it off and my phone immediately blows up to about the size of a poster. My other sister Bambi shows up and said I can call her on her phone but of course I don't know her number it's on my phone. My nephew Ezra shows up grabs the humongous phone and said I had to take it all apart and reboot it and I definitely did not want to do that. In the meantime my son Eli who I guess now is about four is getting something out of the oven without his oven mitts on and I know he's kind of burned himself and I'm worried sick and I start yelling at him and then I feel really bad I yelled at him. And then I start worrying again because poor Kathy must be worried sick about her dachshunds. All this is happening at The farmhouse where I grew up pretty much in the kitchen. Then I woke up cuz I had to go to the bathroom"
