Live and learn right.
I’m kind of hoping this becomes a recurring dream scenario. I’d like to see how Mabel grows up in a house with two rambunctious older brothers. Yes, I’m calling her Mabel now. She really isn’t an Alice.
Mabel is a sassy cocktail waitress in 1955. She smacks her Juicy Fruit gum and calls everyone "sugar" with a devastating wink. She doesn't make it home to see her folks as much as she wants, but they're in her prayers every night.
Maybe it’s my age, but Alice is the name of a waitress at a diner owned by Vic Tayback to me.
She doesn't live here anymore, either.
Guess I won’t go ask him, either.

I'm doing a (virtual) presentation on Thursday for an advocacy group at Washington University. Last night, I dreamed that I had to go stay in the dorms the night before my presentation and I felt really awkward being a middle aged woman in a college dorm.

But it could be a fantastic comedy starring, I dunno, Sara Gilbert?

The real tension is when your roommate is your daughter (played by Billie Eilish, jumping into acting), and in this crazy environment, she's more of a mother to you than you to her.

There was actually a very weird/funny show (it had a very Canadian vibe to it, but I'm not sure if it was from Canada and of course I don't remember the name) about two middle age women who go back to college from the early 2000s. Now I'm not going to get through my day without anxiously trying to figure out the name of this damn show.

Never heard of it. Like, at all. I don't recognize any of the actors, either. So, it could well be Canadian!

Holy crap but I had an involved narrative of a dream. I was a journalist or historian investigating a conspiracy theory that politics and the economy in the 1950s was controlled by a college student. She looked like a young Cybil Shepherd and was called the Prettiest Girl at Princeton. I went back and read campus newspapers and diaries to recreate the dating scene and, yeah, this girl, who dated very widely, had an effect on the industry or country connected to the boy. So this alternate history developed of wars and economic collapses and triumphs emerged based on who she was dating with and what kind of relationship she had with the boys and for how long. I don't know whether it was supernatural or some dark cabal at work, but the events of the 1950s were revealed to be bound up in this girl's social scene.

This sounds like a great movie. All of your dreams do, to be honest. Or at least a limited edition miniseries on a prestige network.
