Ramblings, a new theory and my nightmare from last night



[a reaction to say what I can't, hence things are as they are]

So last night, I had this horrible nightmare.  Just kind of putting it down here so I don't lose it.

It was graduation.  We were all getting ready in the Crypt.  The company came with everyone's gowns, they were opening them from their plastic bags and as it turns out they didn't have mine.  I go and try to find them to tell them, but everyone had already left.  I can see everyone processing into the gym for commencement, at this point, I'm crying beyond all belief becasue I'm not going to participate in commencement, something I've worked for for four years.  I find a person from the company and try to explain my situation.  I'm crying so much that I can't explain that I have my receipt back in my room.  They finally understand what is going on and send me to the second floor of Leander.  I go up there, and a truck pulls into the room (through the wall) and I open the back of it, pull out my box, open the plastic and pull out my robe: which is bright fuscia.

I put it on, and get all kinds of weird looks.  I go across the top of Leander (which is only two floors in the dream, and the top is a garden), and I find another person from the company.  I again, try to explain my situation through my tears and they get me a black robe with muted orange stripes across the chest.  They then show me (although I'm not sure how) a commerical about their academic robes with purple stripes on them.  I then walk into commencement where my parents inform me how disappointed they are in me becasue of the robe mix-up.
