2nd Dream

Second Dream August 3, 2020. I grabbed a bottle of Russian Imperial Stout from the ice in the freezer, set it on the counter, then raised my glass and finished the beer. Wait, I started to wake, I hadn’t been drinking tonight. That wasn’t the counter or freezer in my house. Was this a dream?…
