I was thinking about…I was talking to one of my best friends…And she was telling me how she doesn't think I would like survive if I decided to go into the Peace Corp because of the lack of technology. We were arguing. And I would tell her Just because she wouldn't survive doesn't mean I wouldn't. We were going back and forth a lot. We were driving down the street. And there were like mannequins on the sidewalks. With like a balloon head and wire body. But they had on makeup. Their faces were beat man. It was like a really urban area and like the streets were all messed up. It was like, it looked like raggly homes. And we were arguing. And I was really getting mad at her about whether or not...because I...she was saying that... when I was saying something about Peace Corp she knew I wasn't going. And I was like "Why?!" And she's like "Because you could never survive out there without technology" And we got in a big argument. And that is all.
Source & context
A deidentified English report collected after a sleep awakening in the Zhang and Wamsley study. Some reports describe brief dreamlike imagery rather than a complete story; waking-only rows and no-experience reports are excluded. The complete source transcript is preserved except for explicitly documented bracketed privacy substitutions. This is a report, not a new community submission, a distinct-person count or a claim that every report is an independent dream episode.
