Confusing Dreams and Reality

For the last week or so, my dreams have been so incredibly vivid. I don't really care why, they're actually be pretty amusing. They range from me hanging out with Jared Padalecki on nights where I catch up on a Supernatural episode to going on a trek with some of my Life Group members (although I'm not sure where the trek came from). I'm not going to delve into a book about dreams and how a big crab means that you're super gay (thank you Dane Cook and no, I have not had any dreams about big crabs thank you very much) because honestly I don't care that much. I'm not the kind of person to wake up scared from my dreams. I'm the deranged person who wants to go back to their dreams, no matter how scary, just so she can see how they end.

Last night it got a little weird though how deeply entrenched in reality my dreams were. I've been sick this weekend so I've been doing a lot of TV watching and study guide typing for AP Euro. Last night, I hammer through about 50 pages of study guide typing so I have study guides on the brain. All these random lists of artists and questions about styles and techniques are obviously on my mind. Because I've been watching TV, I also have "The Riches" on the brain. For those of you who have never seen it, "The Riches" is a show that ran for two seasons on FX. Minnie Driver and Eddie Izzard (LOVE THEM) star as the matriarch and patriarch of an Irish Traveller Family of Conmen. They've got three kids who all are skilled in pulling cons as well. They witness the accidental death of a couple called the Riches and move into their lives, becoming the Riches. I really fell into liking this show and pretty much have watched in non-stop these last few days.

So here is where reality has become firmly connected into my dream. Last night, I dreamed that I was a member of the Riches- part of the family. A lot of it was really hazy but I vividly remember that we had a list to things to complete before we could really become the Riches. Of course, what was this list? This list was the 50-page study guide that I had spent the day typing up. All five of the Riches- Dahlia, Wayne, Cael, Didi, Sam Malloys- and I were working together to complete this study guide/list, while trying to avoid Hugh Panetta, Wayne's boss, Quinn and Dale, two fellow Travellers who have it out for the Malloys, Chet Landry, the PI who is looking for Doug Riches' best friend, etc. It was one of the weirdest dreams that I have had in a long time.

So, who's curious about what this means??? :)
