I was on a bus.
Talking to friends.
There was a wreck.
The bus would have to wait.
I got off the bus.
The friends also got off.
We walked.
I glanced behind and saw another friend. It was Greg, who, in my dream, had sprouted another head. *
I yelled out, “Hi Greg!”
Both heads turned and smiled, the sets of white teeth shining.
“Charlotte,” replied one head, “I don’t go by Greg anymore.”
I tilted my head and furrowed my brow.
In response to my confusion, one of the heads started, “I’m Miley,”
"...and I’m Smiley!”

I woke up laughing.
And confused. How did that dream come about? Why two heads? Miley? Isn't that a girl name? And Smiley?! What were his parents thinking? So many questions.
Though it's no question now why Greg has a new nickname.

Don't dream about me! I'd probably end up with a second uterus growing on my back named Gladys!
Zaphod Beeblebrox from "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy".
Thats what you get for staying up late.
LOL!! What a crazy dream. What did you eat for dinner?
I'm not even in the running for those bragging rights - but I love the fact you woke up laughing from a dream. Great way to start the day.
Gladys: I will not dream about you.
Shankar: 10 Charlottalove points!
Brett: Insomniac dreams?
Craze: Hamburger.
Beth: I agree. Any side of the bed is a good side if you are laughing.
I love the Zaphod Beeblebrox reference. Although, to be honest, I think the Zaphod from the new version of Hitchhiker's Guide is cooler - where the head pops up from his neck. Plus, I like that actor. He was great in Matchstick Men.
Slipped into REM? I'm going to assume you mean "fell asleep" and not "put on my Michael Stipe pajamas."
