The Real American Dream

I don`t know why people speak so highly of dreams all the time: e.g., the American Dream, “I have a dream,” Dreams from My Father, etc.

If my dreams are representative, then the real American Dream is that you`re in the classroom for your final exam but you haven`t attended a class or opened the book all semester, and for some reason you`re wearing your pajamas, and you really have to go to the bathroom.
