Two Dreams

Last night I went to bed at 10pm and woke up at 1am, then couldn’t fall back asleep until 4:30am, at which point I had two really weird dreams. They are described below in all their lurid detail. I'm open to interpretations.





1.
I was with my brother in New York City, and we had a friend who was a small talking robot that looked like a mailbox. My brother and the robot and I went to a coffee shop and ordered cappuccinos, and then my brother left before we got them. The robot then told me that he had borrowed money from the mob, and he couldn't pay it back. Then he went to the bathroom.

He didn’t come back from the bathroom so I went to check on him. When I opened the door I saw the small robot tipped over on his side and I knew immediately that he was dead. A man was standing there peeing on him. The man didn’t say anything, but I knew in the dream that this was the mob sending a message.

“He was my friend!” I yelled, and attacked the peeing goon, and we fought for a while until I subdued him, and he told me that now the mob was angry at me for attacking him and also for being friends with the robot.




2.
I was in a Blockbuster Video with my roommate Maria. We realized neither of us had a Blockbuster account, and Maria couldn’t get an account since she is from Sweden. I got the application for a card, and Maria pointed out that one side was entirely questions about the play Romeo and Juliet. “So they can tell if you’ve read it or not,” she said.

The only question I remember is “What subjects did Romeo and Juliet study in school?” Though I’ve never read the play in my waking life, in the dream I was certain that for Juliet the answer was “Science,” and for Romeo it was a trick question, because Romeo didn’t go to school, because he was too poor.
