I was floating in space without a helmet. I could breathe. Saw colorful planets, stars up close. Very beautiful. A friendly alien passed by in a saucer and offered me a ride. I said yes. The inside of the saucer looked like an old Renault 4. He put on some rock music. Woke up when the music got too loud.

to a masquerade ball where everyone wore animal masks. I had an owl mask. I danced with a person masked as a fox, very elegant. We talked about everything and nothing, the voice was familiar to me. In the end, when it was time to remove the masks, the fox was my boss. I was embarrassed. He smiled 'nice mask, owl'. Woke up relieved.

I was watching TV, the news anchor started talking directly to me. 'And you on your couch, what do you think?'. I answered, he listened and commented. We discussed. He asked me my opinion on the weather. Woke up believing the TV was on.

a talking dog gave me love advice. he had a southern accent. 'oh gee, have more confidence in yourself'. weird. he analyzed my last date and gave tips. 'offer her a bone, it symbolizes abundance'. not sure that will work. i thanked him. woke up wondering if i should buy a bone

i was climbing a staircase made of books. each step a different book. i recognized some of them. the staircase was infinite, reaching up to the sky. looked down, the vertigo. kept climbing, curious to see where it led. woke up before arriving.
