Oh joy! Here we go.<\/p>\n<p>I dreamed I was at a family get-together of some sort. Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa, and Jonathan were there, as well as all the dogs. I don&#8217;t know where Shauna was, but I don&#8217;t remember seeing her. I was trying to be sociable, until I met Jonathan.<br \/>\n&#8220;You&#8217;re supposed to be on your Honeymoon!&#8221; I said.<br \/>\nJonathan shrugged. &#8220;I came back.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Why would you come back? You just got there!&#8221; I said. It was then I realized there was no way this could be real.<\/p>\n<p>So I woke up. Only I was in a strange room. It wasn&#8217;t a bedroom I recognized from anywhere. It had stuff that very easily could have been mine, but I didn&#8217;t recognize any of it. I grabbed my glasses and got out of bed. It was morning. Mom was walking around. But again, it wasn&#8217;t my house. I didn&#8217;t recognize it at all. &#8220;This is all wrong,&#8221; I said to myself. &#8220;I must be dreaming.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>So I woke up. Only I was in the same room again. I picked up my glasses and it as basically the same as before. Strange house, nobody else thinks it&#8217;s weird. I remembered shit I&#8217;d read about Lucid Dreaming a long time ago, and figured that if I was going to be in a dream, I might as well have fun with it. I tried hovering, and flying around outside. It worked like a charm. I looked down at myself, and I was as I am now. (This is always a thing for me. Normally people are kind of just featureless entities in my dreams, and I don&#8217;t remember anything about how they or I look, but for some reason, I was just myself this time.) I&#8217;m like &#8220;Okay then, if this is my dream, I can be born female.&#8221; So I tried concentrating on it. I got the breasts down: they became real, but for whatever reason I couldn&#8217;t get the other bits working. This really frustrated me. I could fucking fly, so why wouldn&#8217;t my mind let me be myself for five fucking minutes? I tried and I tried to no avail. I was stomping around, angry. Dream Mom was concerned.<\/p>\n<p>Then I woke up for real.<\/p>\n<p>Your guess as to meaning is as good as mine, readers. And I dunno, if you want to see how often I dream, look back at when <a href=\"http:\/\/getmeoutofthis.net\/?p=2507\">the last time I wrote about this stuff<\/a> was. I haven&#8217;t had a dream since then.
