Dreams...
The couch I sit upon is firm. Similar to a couch made of styrofoam if one could be imagined. No give yet all support. Uncomfortable, rigid, yet soft. Some sort of suede. The couch smells very... sterile. It smells like an x-ray examination room.
In front of me is a very familiar desk. The desk is made of plexi-glass and is immaculately cleaned. The desk that is so familiar to me happens to be Jon Stewart's desk. I am on the daily show: with Jon Stewart!
To my right on the couch with me is Joe Rogan. The three of us are for, whatever the reason may be, making fun of Matthew Lillard. The details of the pestering I cannot recall. Joe and Jon satirically mock Matthew for the deed that he did.
A commercial breaks and during the quick break Jon busts out a poster with an intricate outline of a nature scene; although skewed. The camera turns back on and the three of us sit again. Jon mentions that the three of us will be attempt to color the picture as fast as possible. This somehow ties in to the joke with Matthew.
Jon colors a portion of it while Joe and I rip into Matthew a little more. Once Jon is done he passes the picture to me; the pressure is on. I have a slew of colors but I have to color as fast as I can!
I examine the picture for the biggest areas of space to draw. I notice a large portion of what appears to be soil is uncolored. The picture is quite detailed and is even aligned in a grid. Each block contains variables of detail. I start but as I start I feel as if my body is being absorbed by the picture. All I can focus on is the picture and each stroke. All sounds are dulled and the peripheral of my vision is blurred. I must concentrate!
Each stroke of the marker makes an alarming sound. A loud scratch like pen on paper amplified twenty times. The sound is unnerving! It is hard to make each line; each separate addition of color. I forge on and realize this is a race of time and not perfection. I scramble and color wildly.
(At this point I realize fully that I am in a dream and actually making logical and decisive actions in my dream. This is very cool and yet at the same time very disappointing that my first 100% controllable and aware dream is of coloring. Everyone has a starting point.)
Once the poster is completed Jon holds it up to the camera, makes a sarcastic remark, and I wake up.
