Dreaming of a Jack in the Box

Last week, my dreams took me back to Tempe, Arizona at night.  I was in search for the nearest Jack in the Box restaurant for some kind of fancy sandwich.

I was near Baseline Road and Priest Road.  I had my smartphone in hand with a map and some dots that depicted active Jack in the Box locations.

For some reason, I didn't recall the Jack in the Box that I used to eat at on Mill Avenue and University Drive near the Arizona State campus.  In real life, I ate there quite a bit for the 99 cent Jumbo Jacks and 2 tacos.

I had my car, smartphone, and an appetite ready to go.  I was driving down I-10 Eastbound/Southbound in SW Tempe/SE Phoenix waiting to sink my teeth into something delicious.

I seemed to have driven aimlessly despite having the best map making technology in my hand.  What was I to do?  I couldn't find my Jack in the Box ANYWHERE!!!!!  Oh no!  The hell I say!!!

And then something happened.  I woke up.

In real life, I haven't been to a Jack in the Box since my wife and I got two tacos at a gas station in Murfeesboro, TN in 2013.  We both didn't like them the second time around.  I mean, I used to love them and eat them up as a college student.

I guess my tastes have changed over the years since I moved from Arizona.

I could still go for an in-N-out Burger, a Rubio's original fish taco, a Carl's Jr. Western Bacon Cheeseburger, and a plain old Whataburger.

Dreaming of a $60,000 payday

Sometime this past week, I had a great dream where I was making a lot of money again.

I was somewhere in a factory-type setting.  It didn't exactly resemble my current work station.  It did not resemble a television station in any way, shape, or form.  It more like I was inside a steel making factory wearing blue/gray clothes throughout my body.

I don't remember what happened during my review.  At the end of the review, I pulled out a card with my name on it.  It was as big as a business card.  I turned it over, and it said $60,000.  That would be my salary for the upcoming year.  It was seemingly a big deal because it seemed as if I won a big cash prize on a game show.

Oh what a dream it was.  It felt so good to have something to feel good about.  Good feelings in my dreams are fleeting and short lived.

In reality, I'm not at a $60,000/year salary at this time.  Hopefully I will achieve those heights again one day.
