A dream:

"So I forgot that I was sleeping and I was leading a small book club study. The group kept getting bigger and louder and I was trying to get people to quiet down and settle in so we can start discussing the book. One person kept talking even though I was standing over them and then a second person kept playing hip-hop from a boombox. I started yelling at everyone in a furious rage, and stormed out. I may have acted out in violence towards some. Afterwards, I was sad and disappointed in myself. Barack Obama came up to me and offered me some counsel. He told me that my actions didn't reflect well on me and hurt my chances of staying on the team past September. He had to leave and I told him Thanks for his 15 minutes. 15 minutes with the President! I shook his hand and another person in the room gave him a hug, so I asked to give him a hug and he said, "Yes" reluctantly. We hugged. He left. And I left through another door and ran into my friend Marcellus."
