my subconscious is misguided, ironic, hypernostalgic, and hungry.

Upon falling asleep "on the job," which is to say while reading a book for class, I dreamed about searching for the mythic origins of German nationalism in the forests of New Jersey. Last night, I had a dream about starting graduate school in the field of history, but during my dream I had the sense that this notion was so far removed from reality as to be absurd, and so I was aware of being asleep while dreaming, though I wish it had occurred to me to contrast the strange dream with "life" (what else could I be doing now?). The night before that, I dreamed about feeling profound nostalgia for living in New York City, which hasn't happened in reality since we moved. Also that night, there was one about making out with Anthony Bourdain, host of a fabulous show on the travel channel, but otherwise much too old for me.
