So I had this crazy hilarious dream last week, but decided to keep it for April Fool’s day.<\/p>\n
In my dream, I was round at my friends’ house when an alien spaceship crash-landed in their garden. We called it in to the police, but they wouldn’t believe us because it was April Fool’s day and the local news team were running a similar story as a prank. We turned on the news, and they were indeed all dressed as Imperial Stormtroopers and running around pretending to panic.<\/p>\n
So we had to deal with the crashed spaceship all on our own. I woke up laughing before the aliens came out though.<\/p>\n
Dreams absolutely fascinate me. I’ve never read a convincing explanation of what they’re for, but even if they turn out to be completely useless I wouldn’t give them up for anything. My favourites are the ones where I suddenly realise that I’m dreaming, but don’t wake up, so I get to direct what happens. I usually end up flying in those dreams.<\/p>\n
Has anyone spotted any good April Fool’s stories today? I’ve seen a couple, but they’re really obvious. The comments thread on my post about lab-based practical jokes<\/a> contains some excellent suggestions if you’re heading into work with mischief on your mind. Update: I just spotted Nature’s contribution <\/a>to the festivities. And how could I have forgotten to check what Google<\/a> are up to today?

If you’re determined to give Virgle a try, though, you can submit your video here<\/a>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So I had this crazy hilarious dream last week, but decided to keep it for April Fool’s day.
