I had a dream last night that I found a secret TV channel that was showing S3E1 of Stranger Things.
Since dreams don’t make sense at all, after I began to watch it, soon I was in the episode, but only as an observer – the kids couldn’t see me.
They were riding their bikes down the street and Elle was on the back of Mike’s bike with him, and he was mad that the kids at school weren’t accepting her and his parents didn’t like him dating “that strange girl.”
The most notable thing about it though was that in my dream I could hear the song Only in Dreams by Weezer playing over the whole thing, which I think is probably the weirdest example of something being meta that I’ve ever experienced.
And yes, the scene of all the kids riding their bikes slowly down the street to the opening of that song was pretty damn cool.
