"When I woke up I was kind of in a daze, due to the fact that my phone rang (at the un-Godly hour of 7:00!) I went back to bed and tried to get back into the dream. Sadly, it didn't work..." Karen

I remember that I was working for a temp agency, and as I was walking past a window, I saw an ambulance and a fire truck go past. As I was watching, news-people started appearing en mas (I think that's how it's spelled). there were hundreds of them. I leaned out the window and asked one of them what happened. "he asked if I "remember the kid that blares his stereo?" I said that I did, and he said that someone shot him. the hysteria died down, and as I was trying to go back into work, I got stopped by my supervisor who asked me to help out with a presentation. A lady was standing there with BOXES of ad specialties (pens, pencils, Frisbees, cups, mugs, etc.) She asked if I knew how to use "This". I asked what it was, and she didn't know. I took it from her and said "It's a CLIPBOARD! You put papers on it, and it gives you a stable writing surface. No big deal."

Then I was going to go back to the office where I was working and a security guard stopped me and waved a gun in my face (I know nothing about guns, but can tell you that this was NOT police issue.) "No one gets in with out a security badge" I told him that I was a temp employee and hadn't been issued one. He told me to pick the right one off the rack, and I would be allowed in. On the rack were leather key-chains (Like you get at fairs or Disney World) I chose one that said TEMPORARY, showed it to him, and he hit me. He said "That's not right! Try again." I said "If I chose it, it's right. and by the way... Don't you EVER hit me again." I kicked him in the shin, turned, and walked into the office.

Next thing I remember, I was back in the lobby of the same building and was picking up clothes, there were voices telling me to hurry. I got everything together, walked outside, and was faced with total chaos. Voices told me that I had to get through this obstacle course if I wanted to go home safely. in the obstacle course there were seven 'events'. I got through most of them, but the last one was 'protected' by 2 blue power rangers. they kept trying to knock me over (I was still holding the clothes). I got past them, and was told that I could go. My car was on the other side of the parking lot, and I was afraid to go by myself, so I asked one of the 'power rangers' to walk me, and he told me to get a life. I said "You're the one who dresses like a POWER RANGER, and I should get a life. That's irony"

So, I stood there for a few minutes thinking about what to do. That's when I saw my friend's boyfriend. I asked him to walk with me and he said that I would be okay, cause they'd already killed the guy who shot the stereo guy. Then, I woke up...
