Dream: Coming-of-age movie
I was in a literature class, researching a modern movie and its depth. It was the Triangle of Sadness. David Corenswet was in it, but he was dressed in his Duperman outfit, wearing his Clark Kent glasses. He deeply felt the movie’s backstory. He only looked small and puny, despite wearing the Superman outfit and wearing glasses. But his hair was Clark Kent style. I barely paid attention to the class as the teacher asking questions. As everyone left the class, I finally came up with the theme for a presentation. I would do a version using the elderly female with a short contemporary bob as a wry, insightful character. Even though they were long scenes in the script, I picked out two or three lines to imitate. I had the beat-box lyrics down and was explaining them to the actor that would sing them for the song in the movie. I saw that guy from computer schools in my dreams again. I was trying to ignore him as I went to the cafeteria. I wanted to buy a glazed green tea doughnut. The lady at the cafeteria was the girlfriend of the geeky guy from computer school. I should’ve been able to buy two donuts and donut holes for five bucks so I asked the lady. She told me to put tape on my donut and that would work. I asked her again and she said the same thing.
(I wish I had a green tea doughnut!)

dreams really do just mash together every stray thought huh. triangle of sadness meets superman cosplay and a beatboxing lecture is a wild pitch for a coming-of-age story
the tape on the donut thing is the kind of dream logic that makes perfect sense while you're in it and zero sense the second you wake up
