Dream interpretation
My dream
had a surprise test at school, but the subject was how to make friends with plants. i didn't know anything, of course. the teacher was a huge fern that said 'more chlorophyll, please'. everyone in the room seemed to understand, writing down things like 'compliment the new leaves' and 'water with mineral water'. i just drew a smiling cactus on the test. the fern gave me zero and said 'lacking botanical sensitivity'. i woke up feeling kind of dumb
