I dreamed I was meeting my boss MF and colleague Kristen at a major interchange, to go somewhere on a train. Instead, we walked in circles and back and forth around the station, dragging an improbable number of suitcases. At one point we got Dunkin Donuts coffee.
When asked why I was carrying a huge backpack as well as my improbable suitcases, I confessed I had not *un*packed it properly, and was still lugging around folders of research and teaching material from 2018.
At one point, MF tried to lead us to a pub, but it was closed. I got run into by small children on bicycles. All the signs in the station were malfunctioning due to, and I quote, interference from "GoogleShoes".
Except for the lack of masks, this is the most 2020 dream one could have, and also an extremely transparent postdoc dream.
