I had a dream where I went to the Gangsta's Paradise (must have been listening to Coolio before bed) which was actually an airport/football stadium. I met Coolio.
We got on the plane and it was an auditorium. I saw hundreds of planets going past the ceiling window on top. It revived a memory from a dream a few years back where I found McDonald's on a space station.
Anyways. Back to the plane. I'm watching the planets fly by. A lady on the plane (who was apparently a teacher from my school) starts talking about the 9000 page John Steinbeck book we were reading for class (we were reading Of Mice and Men in class in RL at the time).
Something goes wrong. I'm standing at the back of the auditorium. I fall to the ground. I look at the window. It is covered in orange goo. Apparently our sun imploded and blew up all over. People were turned into orange goo all over the auditorium. We land and evacuate on a foreign planet. I suspect that this is all a hoax and part of a lesson. I figure that the 9000pg book can be used to communicate with my parents, who I assume are still alive. Nothing. I'm still confident. I have a hunch that we are living the book. I look to the 9000th page to see if we go back to Earth eventually, but I can't find anything.
We get off and our school apparently exists on this planet, although there are only two teachers teaching everything. We go to a grocery store. All of the food is 3rd party imitation crap, the place looks like a K-Mart. The food is fake hostess, candies, etc.
Another guy and I go to the end of the aisle to the book section. All of the books are Steinbeck. A train passes behind the aisle and restocks everything. The guy is desperate to find Of Mice and Men.

I woke up here. I wrote it in my notebook and it took 20 minutes and 5 pages. "I want Of Mice and Men" stuck with me for a while.
