Diorama

Make a shoebox diorama of your dream life. Install a macaroni model of yourself into this dream life. Place the diorama in a dark closet and let it sit there for days, weeks, years. Take it out of the closet and remove everything from your dream life until it is just a shoe box. Place the macaroni model of yourself in boiling water. When it is al dente, sprinkle salt on it, and eat. Make a new dream life shoebox diorama, this time installing an aluminum foil model of yourself in the dreamscape.
