How would you describe your most recent dream in the form of a haiku/tanka/choka (don't be afraid to comment more than once)

They say we all dream,
that fantasy worlds await.
I remember naught
I fell off the couch
Hungry serpents slithered near
Mom did not hear me
a song made by us,
we shiny happy people
of wood and paper
I love how “we shiny happy people of wood and paper” sounds.
a stressful work dream
whoops, an accounting mistake
but easy to fix
missed booking a subledger
it was Keifer Sutherland
stress stress stress stress stress
stress stress stress stress stress stress stress
stress stress stress stress stress
Guest wants a coffee
Threw fried eggs in the handsink
Can I still serve them?
exsuscitō
sed lūx non accendit
iam somniō
I wake myself up
But the light does not turn on
Still inside the dream
Note: in the Latin version I'm only counting two morae per syllable for the long vowels, not for the codas. (Japanese barely uses coda, if I do it here the verses get too long.) The English version disregards syllable weight.
Flaming meteor
Escaping the destruction
That was just the start
Moved my arm upwards
Ended up with a big bruise
Then looked at weather
Dog cut open,
Attacked through the chain link fence
Why did it happen
sad girl at party
she is a famous pop star
i braided her hair
Chased by bully and run,
Sun brings light to new dreams truth,
Fire suns light to build new world.
Explanation: I can lucid dream. The sun coming up in the morning woke me enough in the middle of a nightmare where I was running from an old school bully. I used the light of the sun to turn and fire a bolt of energy at the bully at which point I became like Neo and rebuilt the world.
