I April Fooled Myself...

Here's what happened:
I went to bed last night. I fell asleep. I had a dream.
In my dream, I was sitting in my room and was on the computer checking my email. One message immediately caught my interest: It was from Raley's ( I applied there in October, I believe). It was saying that I had been hired there. I immediately rushed to get Daddy and bring him in to tell him the news and show him the message and he congratulated me and we threw a big party. I remember seeing Uncle Ranger there. Oddly enough the house was dark and there were some guests playing the PS3 (it's gone now. Uncle Ranger got to have it). Anyway, strangely, the woman who sent me the email came to my house so she could chat with me and tell me all about the job duties. Then, when the party got too loud for her, she went home and started  texting me instead. I was to start work the next day. Then...I have this feeling of being deep in sleep, unable to be awoken by any sound...but then I heard it...this shrill, nagging noise...quiet at first but gradually getting louder. It was my alarm clock. I remember opening my eyes this morning and immediately thinking, "Shit...this means I don't really have a job."
It felt so REAL in the dream. It really did seem as though my job-hunting problems were finally over, and then all it takes is a quick dose of consciousness to send it down the drain. I DID laugh, however, at the realization that, in a way, I April Fooled myself. I hope everyone had a nice, prank-filled day.
