"Dreams" by Tasnim Uddin ('18)

When I met Laura, she said she had always had vivid, richly colored dreams that she could easily remember. Ever since that day we met, she always annoyed the heck out of me when she bragged about her dreams. It was like listening to someone who has achieved Mount Everest or won the Olympics.
