Teaching A Class And Getting Tracked By Karl Urban

This dream was probably partly inspired by my brother GC and I watching two episodes of the web television show The Boys yesterday, which is the best superhero show that I have seen this year so far, and I like it better than the superhero movies that I have seen as well; this show is surprising me so far, and is one of my favorite television shows that I am watching this year so far.

All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place inside a multi-purpose building that had a small school or college that I attended, a small apartment where I lived, a place where I worked which I assumed was maybe a library or library-like place, and maybe one or more businesses like maybe a BB Grocer Store-like business that I would shop at.

In the dream I moved between these different parts of the building, everything was connected, and so: my apartment, the classes that I would attend, my job, and at least the grocery store-like business were reachable from the same hallway.

The classroom that I went to in the dream was on the left side of the hallway at the beginning of it, my apartment was on the right side of the hallway further down along the middle and down another hallway was my room at the end, my job was at the end of the hallway in the center through another door, and the store was either on the other side of my job or was at the end on the left or right of the hallway.

At some point in the dream I went to a class in a classroom with other students, we quickly learned that our teacher was not there today, and they wanted me to teach the class for the day.

I was not ready for this at all, I was a bit nervous, but I went ahead and took my place as the substitute teacher for the day even though I was just a student.

The lesson plan for the day was a white sheet of paper with black text that had at least 10 sets of words, two per set, and the class was supposed to study them and take a test on them today.

I had not learned this yet either, so I was going to have to study this as well, and so I told the other students to pair up in groups of two to study this.

While they were studying it I was going to study it too, then I would go over it with them, and then we would take a test on it.

I struggled with this until at some point I left the room for one or more reasons known and unknown, one possible reason was to stall so that I had more time to study, and during this time I went to various locations in the building including maybe the office.

I saw one of my former substitute teachers Mrs. F as a patron in the library (or whatever it was) where I worked, and Karl Urban was possibly over the security of the building; and he was leading a security team from a command room.

Mr. Urban and the rest of his security team were trying to track me as I kept moving around the building trying to use the internet on various computers and devices, there was something that they wanted me to sign or do or something, and sometimes he would send messages to the computers and devices that I was trying to connect to.

I went to and from my apartment, the classroom, the store, the library, et cetera as I tried to avoid the Mr. Urban and the rest of security who were trying to track me over the network and maybe over the security cameras.

I was so busy with trying to do that and use the internet that I did not study the worksheet during this time, and so I needed to waste even more time.

Mr. Urban possibly tried to communicate with me over an intercom system, but I am not sure.

I remember that I felt so safe in this building that my apartment was usually unlocked and open, I realized that was probably not a good idea, and so eventually I closed my door and maybe I locked it at some point in case Mr. Urban and his security came looking for me.

But that is all that I can remember of this dream.

The end,

Burger King Impossible Whopper

Trying Burger King's Impossible Whopper
Source: YouTube

What is it?

The 2019 plant-based meat alternative burger called the Impossible Whopper by Burger King.

What is it about?

This is how Impossible Foods describes this burger:

Know the Whopper®?

Meet its twin.

The Impossible™ Whopper® is now available at Burger King® across America.

That’s right.

There’s a Whopper® made from plants with your name on it, and now it’s closer than ever.

Find one near you.

The Impossible™ Whopper® is just like the classic Whopper®, but made with an Impossible™ patty made from plants.

What’s in the patty?

Mostly soy protein, potato protein, coconut oil, sunflower oil, and heme.

Here’s the ingredient list.

My Thoughts

My local Burger King was a few days late in getting the Impossible Whopper, I was disappointed when they did not have it when I first went there, but they finally got it on Saturday or Friday; and so I was able to try it finally.

To my surprise this burger tastes pretty close (maybe 70 – 80% similar) to a normal Whopper, it was not as moist so it was dryer, it did not have as much grilled and smoked flavor, the texture was slightly different, but it was not bad.

I did not taste the patty by itself to have a better idea of how the patty tastes alone unfortunately, but I imagine that red meat fans will notice the difference more than me.

I think that most people (more than 51%) will find this burger acceptable enough as a substitute to the normal Whopper, it may not be better in flavor than a normal meat patty yet, but it is close.

It did not taste or feel as unhealthy as having a normal Whopper, and so I felt better after eating the medium Impossible Whopper combo with two Burger King Crispy Tacos than I would have if I had eaten the normal meat based Whopper.

I hope that Impossible Foods and Burger King will continue to produce more and even better plant-based meat alternatives, and I hope that more businesses will start having these kinds of products available for sale alongside their normal products.

I recommend giving this burger a try, you might be surprised, plant-based meat alternatives have improved it seems; and so we should give them a chance at least.
