pasta dream

When you have a dream that is you doing something boring/banal that you would do in real life, like cooking pasta.

Kate: last night I dreamt that I was flying on a broom and I flew to the moon. I could see the atmosphere around earth! It was flippin' amazing.
Phil: I never have any interesting dreams. I just get pasta dreams. Last night I dreamt that I was mopping my floor. Then I woke up and had to do more chores.
Kate: That's rough, Buddy.
