SMS in REM
Well, humanity is doomed thanks to excessive texting.
Last night while I was sleeping, I had a dream in which I was cleaning my room (exciting stuff) and realized I had to ask a friend a question that I can no longer recall. Anyway, in my past dreams, I would have called this friend or perhaps just have suddenly been with her to ask in person. In this dream, however, I texted her. Then I waited for an answer. But it was a text, so she didn’t answer quickly, and my dream was suddenly at a standstill. In fact, it was so uneventful that I woke up, rather confused.
Clearly, this is the beginning of an epidemic. Texting has become so prevalent that it will replace other forms of in-dream communication, and the wait for the response will wake us up and pull us out of REM sleep, causing worldwide sleep deprivation and eventual psychosis, chaos and death. RIP humans.
