Default Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)...
This could be a funny good-reads thread... Everyone has made a wish at one point or another. Not a grand-scale, beauty-pageant JohnLennonImagineAllThePeople-type dream, but a small petty wish (e.g. I wish my car could fly, when you're stacked in a traffic jam). I'll kick it off.

Last night, lots of tequila consumed at a party with friends had made an evening very entertaining. But I've paid the price for that entertainment with restless sleep, thirst and night-sweats thereafter. But that's irrelevant.

All through the night, there was one line from some rock song stuck in my head, playing over and over. No words, just a melody, drilling my brain and driving me crazy. So, here's my petty little dream. I wished there was an app, like Shazam, where you could simply sing a line into your phone and get the song retrieved, magically... (is there one, btw?)

Tell us about yours.

I wish I had the force so I wouldn't have to get up to get my beer that I left across the room five minutes ago.

I've always felt that in the real world The Force would be horribly abused.

Scratching your back, scratching other places, getting beer from the fridge without getting up, walking your dog without actually having to walk him.

Our society would be in a very sad state of affairs if we had The Force.

"You're not using the Force for Truth, Justice or Galactic Peace you're just using it like a lazy bastard!"

I wont apologize for who I am.

I got it! I can't f...n' believe it, but it just came to me out of the blue! Mystery solved. (Could you imagine having this first line in your head all night long?..)

I want to invent a machine that replays your dreams on TV. I'd call it DreamWorks. Oh wait....

You can hum songs into SoundHound and it will figure it out sometimes.

I wish I could teleport to anywhere, but I'll limit it to places I have been before.

And I wish there were a way to transport a single item every day, that you own, to wherever you currently are. Such as your cellphone you forgot at home
