If you get offended, I'll write it in pencil

So here's a dream that I had last night. It involves a lot of people that I know and a few instances of nudity. This dream was brought to you by Guiness.

I'm driving in my wagon around town, and I feel hungry. So I stop in at a Wendy's drive-thru. But this Wendy's is located over by Steph & Jay's place where a Country Style should be. A train-yard was across the street. I pull up to the order box and realize that I don't have any money, but I order anyways.

WelcometoWendy'scanItakeyourorder?

Yes, can I have two Jr. Bacon Cheeseburgers, and the largest size of fries you have.

Anythingtodrink?

No.

Thank you.

So I drive around the other cars that are in front of me and head for the exit, because I have no intention of paying. The exit is guarded by a mechanical arm which refuses to open for me, and I'm filled with the dread that the people are going to come outside and I'll have to explain that I don't have any money.

Just then, the arm raises and I'm about to make my escape when I notice that driving down the middle of the road in a gigantic, bright red train engine is Aimee Leonard's father. I wonder what he's doing, and have a vision of Aimee saying "Oh it was Father's day and he needed a vacation." So he waves and drives down a tree-lined highway off into who knows where.

I look out the front windshield of the car, and walking in front of the car is Lindsay, a friend from a few classes last semester. She is walking with a girl who I don't know. I haven't seen her for a while, so I get out of the car and go to say hello.

Instantly we're having lunch in a rooftop cafe with Rob O'Flanagan. I wonder when he showed up and start to have the inkling that this is a dream. I look over at Lindsay and she's naked, but has her legs pulled up to cover herself. She is not embarassed or demure, that is simply the way she is sitting. I look at Rob, and he is salivating over her body, a crazed look in his eyes. He is speaking in a halting manner, trying to get Lindsay to stand up and reveal herself. I realize that this is a dream, and that if I want her to, she will stand up. I blink and I'm in her arms, and I've forgotten it's a dream. I don't even realize that she's a person, just a collection of body parts. I cannot see the forest for the trees. She pushes me away and vanishes.

I blink again and I'm in my old apartment, the kitchen specifically, but it's wider than it was. Wide enough to accomodate the banquet that is going on in there with many rowdy friends. Jay stands out in my memory, but no one else. Jenny goes to put something in the oven, but when she opens the door Nora (once again a puppy) leaps inside, landing in between the red hot elements. I panic and grab her by the scruff of the neck and yank her out of the oven. She is remarkably unhurt, as though the only hot things in the oven were the elements themselves. A large man who I had not noticed before says "Well there's a real animal lover" and he hands me a small change purse. People clambour for it, but it eventually ends up in my hands. Inside it is $10 000.

Just then there is a knock at the door. I go to answer it, but I'm no longer in my apartment. I'm in a large hotel room with sixteen foot high ceilings and a colourful carpet. I open the door and Aimee is standing there, wearing nothing but a towel around her waist and a tiny, neon yellow tube top. She comes inside and I offer to take her towel, but she says that's probably not a good idea. She seems upset, so I ask her what's wrong. The sounds of the banquet carry out from the other room and she seems reluctant to talk. I press her for information and she says "Nothing's wrong. Jay just got me pregnant, that's all."

Me: What?!?

Aimee: I'm pregnant.

She tries to walk away, but I grab her arm and spin her around. I look down at her stomach and realize she must be at least seven or eight months along. Wondering how I missed this when she opened the door, I sit down on the arm of my favourite brown chair and ask her when it happened

Aimee: Oh, a little while ago.

Me: But Jay's been here! He couldn't have....

I wake.

If anyone has a problem with their name being on here, let me know and it'll be removed.
