“See, this is how you can discern between me and someone impersonating me: I would never dive that way. I can’t dive for shits, I’d never try to enter water head-first. Either cannonball or candle dive. I never learned to control my rotation, and I’m sure I’d land on my back.”
I was in a swimming pool with an old friend of mine while another guy (who looked exactly like me and was impersonating me for some reason) dived from a balcony on the first floor of a villa. I don’t know why someone was trying to pass as me, and I wasn’t even worried, it was perfectly normal.
I can’t actually think of one that isn’t too private but a fake example that would fit is the lead-up to an exam result. This is the sort of scenario where I would get so worked up in ‘preparing’ myself for a bad result, that if a good one came I would need a few days to get over the relief and start feeling pleased.
Last night I dreamed my sister-in-law was cooking a fry-up in the kitchen drawer. I was wondering how it would work, but didn’t want to be rude so kept quiet. I then politely queried it with her mum who said ‘oh yeah, it gets quite hot, look’ and she touched it and it hissed. But I couldn’t help notice that my portion was staying cold.
I think it’s because the last time I saw her we were making lunch, and she arrived and kind of jumped on it, wanting to be fed first. I think that explains why my portion was cold - because I feel like she puts other people second sometimes.
I don’t think the way the food was being cooked is that important - but maybe it’s because she doesn’t cook much!
I don’t remember the sequence of my dreams, but I dreamed a lot of interesting scenes.
The most interesting one was the “Lego Wikipedia Machine”. At work, in the instruments room, along with lots of cables and devices, there was this Lego contraption, roughly as big as a 17’’ monitor, with buttons and levers. It was a Wikipedia interface made in Lego. I turn a knob and all the pieces ofkate rotate to show a text-only version of a Wikipedia article. It was actually connected to our internal “slack” Wiki, and it was showing a review of some kind of superhero movie. I switch to article history and notice from the IP that the last edit was done by someone in my hometown in Sardinia. I’m curious, so I print the article because I want to ask my colleagues who went to Sardinia and edited a wiki article while on vacation. The machine is connected to a label printer, so I get a long string of embossed, sticky green tape. But the tape ends and the machine breaks.
I was going to meet our newly found Madame Morena voice, who is a friend of my sister, at a wedding where I, my sister and our actress were invited. I tell my sister “please, introduce me to her instead of assuming everyone knows everyone else as you usually do”. She seems offended. “You do already know her!”, she objects, “you got to know her that evening in my house”. I remember and protest “there were hundreds of people that evening, I can’t possibly remember all the names and faces”, and she objects “why not? they all remember you”, to which I replied “well, they all already knew each others and only got to know me, it’s easier”.
Then something that would make a nice joke. I was rehearsing a sketch: there’s the Crime Awards Night, where awards are given for the best criminals in every category. There are four nominees in the Best Scam category, the announcer gets on stage, says “the award goes to…”, opens the envelope and announces a fifth name. One of the nominees protests: “hey! he wasn’t even nominated! That’s a… oh, wait. Clever.”.
Then, in the Best Act of Corruption category, the winner gets on stage and passes a wad of bills in the hand of the announcer while shaking his hands.
But nevertheless I liked and laughed about that scene. 
but a fake example that would fit is the lead-up to an exam result. This is the sort of scenario where I would get so worked up in ‘preparing’ myself for a bad result, that if a good one came I would need a few days to get over the relief and start feeling pleased.
