Video Games Are Boring

Dear Peregrin,

Last night I had an interesting dream. :)

I was spending the night at my friends house, and we were hanging out in her living room. I didn't care much about anything in the dream, but I was sitting on the couch eating starbursts from a bowl next to the couch. My friend was playing a Mario video game and would do anything to beat it. She kept trying so hard and I didn't care and shed always go "damn I was so close too" and I would be like sure whatever its just a dumb game and eat another starburst. Then I realized this wasn't her house it is my school. But it was still somehow her house because it looked like it and her dad was home doing random things in the house. Somehow we were timed how long we could play the video game, kind of like a lunch break. When the "bell rang'" she said she couldn't beat it and said lets go up to the office and ask for one that is beaten. I didn't care and said ok and grabbed a whole bunch of starburst from the bowl and made sure her dad wasn't looking at me (hehe)

My friend in the dream does not go to the same school as me in reality.

That's it, I was pondering what this might mean if you can help thatd be great.

Good morning, Jesser.

I think that this dream describes more how you feel about the things required of you - particularly school - than it does video games. You enjoy the time spent with friends, but the routine seems to you more of a pointless game. You take some enjoyment out of getting away with things under the noses of teachers and other authority figures.

If this is on the mark, my best suggestion is to ride it out anyway. The time spent in school is really a very small part of your overall life, and it presents opportunities that rarely come again.

Pleasant dreams,

Peregrin
