holytoastrNightmare #1:
I dreamed I had purchased a science toy thing like an oobleck except it was green and looked a lot like a booger. I played with it for a while, watching it squirm to music, then left the room to go do other stuff. When I came back, it looked bigger. Finding that disconcerting, I balled the thing up and took it with me to a lunch meeting.
At the meeting, everyone was a bit weirded out by the way the thing would learn towards anyone holding up food. One guy thought it would be funny to pour water on it, but as he held a straw filled with water over it, it opened up to reveal a large mouth with a big pink tongue and a set of sharp teeth.
The meeting ended early because no one felt comfortable with the thing sitting at the table. So I placed the thing in the front basket of my bike and began to ride home, contemplating how I was going to get rid of it. I couldn't throw it away because it was a scary monster. So I was debating calling a local university to take it and examine it or calling the company I bought it from and demanding they let me return it.
There was a man eating a sandwich outside my apartment. While I was walking my bike by him, the thing reached out and stole his sandwich! I apologized profusely. The guy was reasonably upset by the creepiness of the whole situation. He eventually got away from my apologizes and I was left alone with the monster. I knew I couldn't bring it inside because it would certainly eat my dog or bird unless it was extremely well contained.
Then I woke up.
Insanity:
I had a brief moment of anxiety induced insanity after my dream. My heart and breathing were so fast, I felt dizzy. I was worrying about all the things I need to do and how little time there is to get everything done and the state of limbo I feel from the house situation.
Somewhere along the line I got the idea in my head that I completely made up ben to cope with how insane and stupid my life is. And I had an argument inside my head, trying to figure out if he was real or not.
Eventually the over-breathing caused me to black out, which was probably a good thing considering how totally insane I was. I know I was half asleep at the time, which partially excuses it but that was still really really crazy.
Nightmare #2:
I was in a mall and decided I wanted ice cream. So I went up to the ice cream booth and ordered peanut butter cup ice cream on a cone. And the kid working there said, "Are you sure you don't want another flavor?"
"No, I wanted peanut butter cup. On a cone."
"I think you should choose a different one."
"Why. Are you out?"
"No, I just really hate scooping that flavor. So I'm not going to."
I was baffled. "It's your job. Please get me peanut butter cup on a cone."
And we argued like that back and forth. There was a line piling up behind me. Some of the people were loudly stating that the girl in front should just choose another flavor or get out of line.
Then the kid got really weird. He sat down and started to purposely drool on himself. Then shoved ice cream in his mouth and spit it back up all over his shirt.
The woman behind me was totally repulsed and demanded he wash up and do his job.
Eventually the kid went, "FINE" and went to the sink to clean himself up. Then he went to scoop ice cream. But he came back with something pink. In a cup. I explained that that what he brought me was not what I asked for. He told me that's what I was getting and to pay up or get lost.
At that moment, a manager came into the booth. The woman behind me yelled to her, "Excuse me! This young man has absolutely refused to take this woman's order and has been holding up the entire line!"
The manager walked over and we explained the entire story to her. I accidentally cursed in front of the woman's kids but she forgave me, saying in some situations it's understandable.
When we were done, the manager asked the kid if this was all true. He broke out in tears and ran out of the booth into the crowd. It was pretty weird. Then the manager got me my ice cream.
