Dream or reality?

Dreams are funny.

I think because I fell asleep thinking about my time cooking in Germany, which seems so unreal to me now, I ended up dreaming about being in the kitchen.

I had this vivid dream of being involved in a cooking competition with teams of two partners. I was paired up with another female, and for some reason we were focusing on desserts. The dream wasn't necessarily a nightmare, or a bad dream, but it definitely had a stressful element.

Apparently, my work space had already been used by someone else, and it was a HUGE mess: flour everywhere, all kinds of dirty dishes piled up and used rags laying all over the counter. And no matter how I tried to straighten things up, it seemed like the mess just kept expanding.

I somehow came over my problems, however, and came up with a brilliant idea for a dessert. You know how sometimes in your dreams things sound great, but in real life they would be ridiculous? Well this was not one of those times, and I am excited to try-out at least part of my dreamed invention.

And then the dream ended.

It was strange, how when I woke up the dream seemed more real to me than what I fell asleep thinking about.
