The email That said I won

"I dreamed I got an email saying I'd gotten something I'd wanted for a long time—can't even remember exactly what it was now, maybe a job or some kind of award. I just remember reading it three times because I was sure it was a mistake. Then I was at some event where people kept coming up to congratulate me, but they all seemed to already know more about it than I did. Someone handed me a drink, someone else took a photo, and I kept smiling even though I felt kind of disconnected from all of it. At one point I was standing outside on a balcony with a person I don't recognize, and he said, "You did this yourself, you know." I wanted to argue, but then I suddenly felt really proud, like it finally clicked. I woke up before I could thank anyone, still smiling for no obvious reason."
