pop quiz!

Dream: I forget to register for classes at the local community college, and decide to just show up to the first class anyway. My friend (and old boss), Paul, is in the class. It is Abnormal Pyschology. The teacher is young, and might be Jim from The Office, but I'm not sure. He surprises us with a pop quiz, and I am nervous until I realize all of the questions are about popular science fiction TV shows. I ace the quiz and ask if it's OK that I showed up without registering, and Jim(?) says, "we'll figure something out."

the flaming umbrella.

Dream (a segment): I've taken up performance art, and am nervous about my first group showing. My performance consists of me pouring lighter fluid all over the top of a large black umbrella and lighting it on fire, then holding it above my head until the flames go out. I am standing on the side of the stage envisioning myself on stage, and trying to decide how best to douse the umbrella in lighter fluid – one circle around the top? or drench it?
