Pink Elephants (Dumbo)

Okay, so "Pink Elephants on Parade" is the only nightmare-ish song I could think of on short notice. I wanna get this down while I still remember it.

I dreamed last night (I got on a boat to heaven......no) that the girls on my hall went WILD.

So in real life, it was past 12:30. I didn't feel like getting up and going to all the rooms and checking to make sure everyone was in their respective room and heading to bed. So at 12:50, I simply told the girls who were sitting on the hall talking, claiming that they weren't tired, that they could stay up quietly. That I didn't care.

Then in my dream, I got up in the middle of the night to loud music, walked out onto the hall and it was a MESS. There was beer, music, boys, people I didn't recognize, even parents. All these people who didn't belong on the hall were in the dorm! So I went through room by room trying to get them out. I just screamed the whole time. "WHAT THE F*** ARE YOU DOING HERE?! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE HERE!!! GET THE F*** OUT!" I don't know why, but I felt it necessary to convey just how mad I was by using the f-bomb, repeatedly.

But that was ineffective - there were too many of them! So I called for back up. I called the campus public safety, but they were nowhere to be found! I couldn't believe it, but the public safety folks weren't answering their phones! So I was left to my own devices. I just gathered everyone downstairs (which became I building I didn't recognize) and told them all to "get the f*** out." Most of them didn't listen.

But this process must have taken hours, because that's about when I woke up.

So I don't know if this was just me being stressed out, or the melatonin (which I read can cause nightmares). But I didn't take any melatonin last night because I wanted to be a little awake in case someone called me to take them to the hospital. (It was my night on duty.)

So that's it. I've never cussed so much in my life as I did in that dream.

Weird....

Weird.

I'd pay a lot of money to see you yelling "GET THE FUCK OUT!!"

How much is "a lot"?

Depends upon the enthusiasm with which you scream it.
