Teeth Dream

Last night I went to bed at 2:30. Don't know how this happened. I was reading for class, when SUDDENLY! the clock jumped out and shouted, "Ooga Booga! It's 2 AM," and I scampered into bed. I couldn't fall asleep, so sat up patiently. The next morning can be effectively described by this flow chart:

Sleepyness > Sleeping In > Weird Dreams (These are the ones you want to write down for later.)

There was a kid in my high school who was in my honors classes, but he was a total stereotype: football player, popular, attractive, never did his own homework, never was witnessed to be laughing unless someone else was at the butt of the joke. I wasn't impressed. But he never spoke, which was weird, and his voice was really soft anyway. Somehow, this kid has the most dialogue when I dream about the people in high school.

So last night, when I was in the middle of a mild stress dream about Academic Challenge math, he politely invited me to eat lunch with the other students in town. I politely refused. Then I went into the kitchen and realized my teeth were coming loose. Often in dreams, they rot or wiggle out. This morning, they were implants. I had some regular teeth that were still in place, but there was a retainer that held fake teeth down. But the plastic was detaching, so the implanted teeth were coming out, and there was bleeding, and I was in the kitchen with this stupid popular kid.

Thank goodness I woke up just in time to be 5 minutes late for class. Who knows what sort of painfully embarrassing dental shenanigans I could have found myself in?
