sweet dreams

Over the course of my lifetime, I've had a vast array of dreams. Several of these have been about me befriending celebrities.

The first, when I was quite young, was about one of the Olsen twins. I can't remember which one at the moment. She was struggling, I went to her, reached out to her, and she told me she wanted to live a normal life. I told her I thought she was pretty and I thought it would be cool if I was an actress.

The second, while I was in high school, was about Michael Phelps. I was swimming with some friends in his private pool (although I didn't know he owned the pool at the time) when I noticed him swimming laps in the lane next to mine. He liked me best out of all of my friends. We were connected over our love for swimming. The dream lasted quite a while and was full of adventures.

The third, last night, was about the Jonas Brothers. (This could be due to the fact that I have a Jonas Brothers calendar and two posters currently hanging up in my room.) They were giving a performance and were practicing in my living room. My Mom and siblings and I were eating breakfast in the dining room when I noticed them. I asked my siblings if I should go ask for an autograph and they heartily said 'yes'. As I approach the Jonas Brothers in my living room, they see me coming and quickly start to pack up their stuff and leave. I realized I had insulted them with my approach. I pleaded with them to please just sign their names and I would leave. After what seemed like an eternity to me, they gave in, and wrote me a very nice note. I figured they were probably hungry so invited them to eat breakfast with my family. To my surprise they immediately agreed, and soon we were all in line in the kitchen for some home-made pancakes. The Jonas Brothers loved my Mom's food and were especially thankful to me for inviting them. Nick, the youngest, and I really bonded. We were "fast friends." When it was time for them to leave, Nick gave me a token that I might redeem whenever I wanted to hang out with them. (The token was an odd shape--almost a half fish. It was made out of wood and very smooth.) In my head I thought, "Maybe they'll want to go to the movies with me!"
