I dreamed I was being chased by a pencil that had no eraser. I ran over papers and it kept following me. I could not escape it and it got closer and closer until it was in front of me. It had a mouth on it and it spoke to me. I need to erase the answer help me you got it wrong. I did not know what to do. Beside me was a Batman eraser so I picked it up and gave it the pencil and it erased the answer I had put down and corrected it for me. I turned in the test and made a 100. The next day when I took my spelling test I had to borrow an eraser to change a word I though was wrong and sure enough it was and since I changed it I got a 100. |
