it started two weeks ago when i had a dream about being late to work. in my dream, i hopped in my car and sped down the road. speeding only gets you in trouble as i learned. a cop pulled me over immediately. the cop that pulled me over happened to be tom cruise. thee tom cruise. he lifted up his visor, and i immediately recognized that cunning smile. tom let me off with a warning, and i graciously said, "thank you thomas cruise." he quickly corrected me and said, "just Tom." i said, "right, sorry, thomas cruise." "tom. just tom. not thomas" he said.
in this dream i don't know what's up and what's down anymore, but i was suddenly at my desk in my office. everything seemed business as usual until tom cruise walked to my cubicle. he began asking for my reports as if he were my boss. i said, "sorry thomas, i just need a little more time." tom put his hand on my shoulder and in his tom cruise laugh said, "it's tom. it's not short for thomas. i've been tom my entire life." i apologized and suddenly awoke.
tom has appeared in so many of my dreams i'm convincing myself i know who he is, and for the life of me, i cannot get the poor guy's name right. it's killing me. i've been practicing writing out his name in hopes that it helps the dream version of myself remember.
