so i was just in bed about to fall asleep, and i guess i did for a moment... but then a sound woke me up. but during that time, i had a dream snippet.
i was a lady who worked in a bookstore, a la barnes and noble or borders. there was supposed to be a book signing that day, but the author had left at 11:00, just an hour after the signing began. he didn't seem to have many fans, though, so it was no big deal.
something happened (i'm not sure what), and some device shot a great burst of air at me, and i flew up to the ceiling above the counter i was behind. for some reason i got stuck up there, almost as if "laying" on the roof. nonplussed, i found i could still reach the counter well enough to continue working, so i stayed up there.
a number of minutes later, however, a mass of people came into the book store! they crowded around my counter holding up the book signing author's book and asking me to autograph it. i explained over and over again that the author wasn't here, he'd stepped out, but he might be back, no, i was not the author, he was a guy, and so on, but they insisted i sign their books anyway. i even told one customer, "you know i didn't write this book, right? that's not my name." but the person didn't care.
when the inital rush started to disperse, i heard someone mention the "lady who got stuck on the roof," and how much the autographs were going to be worth. i listened further, and eventually it became clear: someone had recorded my being blown onto the ceiling and uploaded the video onto youtube. i was an instant, if ephemeral, celebrity, and in the dream i further rationalized that they wanted me to sign the author's books because they were in the camera's shot.
i resolved to take the rest of the author's books, autograph them, and them sell them on ebay before the hype died down. as soon as i found a way to get off of the ceiling.
and then there was a loud noise, and i woke up. a relatively half-baked dream if you ask me. but then, i was only half-asleep.
