In the midst of the 2008 Presidential election I had a dream that the company I worked for held a prom and Barack Obama and his lovely wife Michelle were invited. For dream reasons which defy all logic, they accepted the invitation and came to our little company prom, in Massachusetts, which isn't exactly a battleground state. During the prom a coworker of mine aggressively hit on Michelle and Barack punched him in the face at which point I began freaking out. I was worried that it would hurt his chances in the election if word got out and I'm nearly positive that when I woke up I went to check if it had made the news...I realized before I actually did so but, it took a minute.
I realize that I've outed myself as a democrat but, oh well, maybe my Rush Limbaugh loving facebook friends won't read this or maybe they'll just ignore it. I tend to avoid revealing my political leanings because I don't like to argue politics with anyone other than my Dad...he has to love me unconditionally, even if I listen to NPR.
So, why did I take the risk of incurring the wrath of Bill O'Reilly (AKA Papa Bear) fans by telling you about a 5 year old dream? Because it is my favorite example of the kind of weird dreams I tend to have. Believe me I've had a hundred weird dreams since then, like the dream I had that I was dating Daniel Tosh and got into a fight with offended audience members or the time Scott Aukerman, a young Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Ed Helms wanted to take me bowling but, I had to attend a Seder and no I'm not Jewish. Now that I think of it, that dream deserves its own post but, back to the point, some dreams are more worthy of recapping than others and a dream starring Tina Fey that caused me to second guess my life choices seems more worthy of your attention than my brief affair with a young Arnold Schwarzenegger.
