Paralysis

Before getting into the dream, I was sleeping in a slightly more uncomfortable position, ready to give WILD another spin. I am doing pretty good, and just as sleep paralysis is coming on, I suddenly get this urge to pee. I will survive, I thought to myself. But as time went on, the urge got worse and worse. Eventually, the urge won, and I went downstairs to pee. Turns out, I peed for about two to three minutes before finally returning to bed. At that point, I am like, forget it, I am sleeping comfortably. After that thought, I get in the most comfortable position I know and doze right off. When I get into my dream, I land in the bathroom, right after I took a shower. I look right to the towel rack and on the left I see four towels stacked on one another covered by a huge piece of paper with green font about 'How to dry off'. This stack was for four steps, while the one to the right was for three steps. My shower went under the four-step category, and I reached for the first towel to begin drying. Afterwards, my dream skips over to where I find myself in the front hall of my county's elementary school. Apparently, I am going to the library to help out with... something. I turn right into the library and notice a sign-in sheet in front of me. I put down my name and my grade (And it was pretty funny to see the order go 2, 3, 1, and then 9). After signing in, I notice my friend <PERSON>, another helper. He walked me over to this machine that would make really good waffles from bread. I put a piece of bread in, and when it was done cooking, I took it out. Turns out, it was still soft bread, only that it looked like it was buttered. After that, I look over at the clock. Now, while you might begin to suspect that I am about to get lucid, I do not. (Sadly.) The clock reads 7:30 - only five minutes until the high school day started. I walked over to my English teacher (Who was also in the library), and asked her if she could call in a bus for me. She went over to the phone and ringed in a bus. After talking, she asked me a few questions, and that was the end of the elementary school portion. Next, I find myself back at home, and I begin to try to heat up the pieces of bread... in the fridge. I should have seen this as a dream sign, yet I did not. (Silly me) After that, I woke up. Funny thing is, I do not remember the dream when I woke up, yet when I took a shower, it all came back to me. (Woo!) So, I guess I have my daily shower routine to thank for reminding me that I had a dream last night.
