An improbable dream

Yesterday, I went to sleep at 9 PM. When I slept, I saw a dream. The dream was a pie in the sky. In the dream it was a Tuesday, but I didn’t go to school. Moreover, I had cake first in breakfast with pizza. After breakfast, I peered outside the window and saw that our house was on the clouds! That does not give me the creeps at all. I bent down to the floor and saw the date on the calendar. It was the 25th of January, Opposite Day! I totally forgot. I decided not to take advantage of it. When my mom told me to take shower, I simply said no. But then things took a bigger turn. My teacher sent me a letter telling me not to write the question and answers. And my reply? I just threw it into the fridge. Later in the evening, I had a basketball match. Instead of shooting the ball in the opponent’s hoop, I shot it in our own! I repeatedly fouled others, including my own teammates. We lost 45-16! I came home energetic after playing the match. Finally, I slept at 8 AM and at 7AM I actually woke up.
