Projection dream

I had a most bizarre dream last night. For a string of mornings a girl I've never met (although it could have been Sharron from Eastenders) left a message on my bedroom wall (my bedroom in my parents home, just for the curious). This was no mundane message in either content nor delivery. Somehow she had managed to use my glasses as a projector. They were set up in such a way that when daybreak eventually broke each day, the suns rays would penetrate the glass and project the message onto the wall in front of me. What was even cleverer was the fact that the message was split between the two lenses, where each letter was represented in part on each bit of glass.

Each morning I awoke to read a sweet and heartwarming message. However, in dreams as in life, things are never easy. One day I slept in. Severally slept in. I awoke at 6:37pm to see the last flickers of light dissipate along with the messgae. I jumped to the foot of my bed to try and decipher the dying message..and like most dreams this too faded with time. All I remember being able to read was the final part of the message. It read like a farewell note, one filled with sorrow and regret. The last line read something like

"You had every opportunity, but you missed your chance"



As I picked up the glasses in order to try and read the message I quickly discovered the genius of what she'd done. The glasses were so expertly positioned that they could only project the message at a certain angle from a certain position. One that was nigh on impossible to reproduce, thus causing me to lose the message eternally.


.....damn that's sad. But quite why the note ended with the picture of a teddy bear is beyond me.

Not the greatest feeling to start a day with.
