is it the string cheese?

Posted by beth on September 6, 2007

I’ve been eating string cheese almost every night lately upon arriving home from work. Could that be the cause of these increasingly strange dreams?

Last night, I dreamed I was a teacher, which isn’t weird so far, but I think I was a high school teacher, and I was taking my students on a field trip. And for some reason, I had two younger kids too, like 8 and 10-years-old, and their dad was a chaperone. He was also Ian Ziering. And after the field trip, he and I had a date (he wasn’t married in the dream). During said date, several things happened:

1. He stood alarmingly close to me.
2. I ground various cereals in a coffee grinder.
3. I found out that Ian Ziering is an accomplished cake decorator. He had a large, half-decorated, chocolate cake just sitting out on the counter. The parts that he had done were pretty amazing.

As soon as I woke up, I felt like it was very real, and the first thought I had was, “And he’s a good dancer too!” It didn’t occur to me until several minutes later that it was a dream, that he’s married, and that I am not attracted to him in real life.
