Describe the last dream you remember
I was at an Olivia Rodrigo concert having the time of my life, and at the end of the show she came to the barricade and was waving at people. We ended up making eye contact and she pointed at me and mouthed “I love your hair”. I woke up with the biggest grin on my face, it felt so real!!!

Going on a walk with your friends in the middle of the night when it’s really foggy
