I have this recurring dream that happen fairly regularly. It always has the same theme, but is updated to reflect the recent changes in my life. Sometimes it make me believe that we are living parallel lives in two different realities, and every time we sleep we drift from reality to the other. Occasionally the transition happens suddenly which is why we retain some memories, aka dreams.



So genre one is I'm still working at Canadian Tire, but haven't worked a shift since I left for University over 5 years ago. This time Canadian Tire had been bought out by Walmart. I am home visiting for the weekend and have decided to help out. I show up at the store and everyone who I used to work with, still does. Rob, rushes up to me and says boy Richard sure is pissed that I haven't worked much, and rumour has it that I am going to be fired. As I hear the last words I start to panic and rush for the checkout. My mind is churning out excuses why I shouldn't be fired. For the next hour I do errands at the end just to realize I already have a job. This morphs to genre two. That is, I am still in University and I have forgotten to study for exams. But I keep putting it off until there is only an hour to cram. At which point my mind goes blank and I can't remember how I have done in the course until this point in time.
