Waking up in the middle of an idyllic afternoon nap with your heart palpitating, your head full of sweat and feeling like your body and your soul is being forced apart can never be a good thing. It's not funny when you feel like you're on the brink of death every time you close your eyes to sleep.

Falling asleep and dreaming about weird stuff. Usually I don't sleep well.

I just had the weirdest reality-based dream. EVER!

I dreamt that EAxis released a Simpsons edition of The Sims 2. Reality: I like both.

In the dream I apparently lent my aunt the game and I kept wanting to get it back from her. Reality: Four people owe me games, but I'm not really that insistent on wanting them back as I was in my dream. Oh god. In my dream I was going, "Can we go to my aunt's house to get the game back" every five seconds or so.

Later my mum and I went to a bookshop to buy some stuff. I suddenly approached a sales assistant and asked her if they had tape. Reality: I did go to a bookshop and bought tape there. That happened on Monday.

But the stupid woman just said rudely that they didn't have tape and the only place you can find tape is the supermarket. Reality: I went to a supermarket on Monday too.

Now here's the bizarre bit: I bugged my mum to drive me to my aunt's house (who only lives across the street so I don't know why I insisted she drive me there) and ask for the game back. I actually confronted my aunt. And the most ludicrous thing ever was that she gave me, a long-time fan of The Sims, a copy of The Sims Hot Date, thinking I would be bamboozled into believing that was the Simpsons edition of The Sims 2. I was so not. The rest of the dream consisted of much quarrelling and mayhem and ended with everybody siding my aunt and blaming me for kicking up a big fuss over the whole thing. After all, they pointed out that there's only a number's difference between The Sims and The Sims 2.
