Well, I'm sure our blog has been enjoying its nap, but now is as good a time as ever to wake it up... Appropriate analogy given the story I have to tell...

The story begins in the middle of the night with me sleeping and having a dream. Someone came up to me and told me something important I had to do. As soon as he left, I suddenly realized that I had not understood at all what it was I was supposed to do. Even worse, I woke up, and I tried desperately to remember the words he had said, but I couldn't recall them. It was one of those moments when you wake up from a dream and you remember what kind of thing was happening but you can't remember at all what it actually was.

Still half asleep, I immeadiately got out of bed and walked to my parents room. As my mom started to wake up, I frantically tried to explain my situation to her.

"Someone told me something important that I have to do," I said. "What was it?"

"What? What are you talking about?" said my mom. "Was this a dream?"

"Yes--in my dream someone told me something I had to do and I forgot what it was!" I suddenly began to realize that the fact that it happened in a dream meant it didn't matter. "I guess I'll go back to bed now," I said sheepishly and returned to my room. It wasn't until the morning that I realized how absurd my behavior had been. :)
