I have this reoccurring dream that Chicago has a roller coaster in place of a subway system. Like I visit my cousin and I’m like “I have to take the roller coaster from ohare to little Italy”

I can see that. Chicago’s public transit genuinely does remind me of a roller coaster, with how much of it is on high stilts weaving through the canopy of the city. Just add some up and down …

(After going to the Shedd Aquarium as a child, I had recurring dreams for decades about weird things there– mostly fish swimming freely through museum in the air with no need for water. But sometimes just about the big dark rooms full of the little windows each with its own exhibit, and a certain specific eerie/wondrous emotion about them that doesn’t really translate into waking life.)
