Well I don’t think I’ve had a dream before. Unsurprising that the news repeatedly playing the footage at me when I was home sick means it’s part of my psyche. Just don’t think it’s ever worked its way into a dream before.

January 28, 1986:
I was in 4th grade. It was a special day as a teacher, Christa McAuliffe, was going up on the Space Shuttle to do experiments in space. They brought in a CRT TV on one of those tall carts for my class to watch the launch of the Space Shuttle happen live.

As the shuttle was ascending to space, there was a catastrophic explosion. They quickly turned off the TV and we were all in shock.
