everything is more than one thing, apparently

my dreams the last two days have been
kind of a weird mash of stuff

in one someone had given me a truck
a really big red truck
not new
not like an old classic
just a whaddayacallit, late model
i was thinking about how great it was
that they'd given me this truck, even though it was
really too big for me to be comfortable driving
in the dark night, in a semi-deserted parking lot
so i was like kind of happy reverie and alert wary
all at the same time
getting out my keys

in another
i was working, but i guess i was working on my own thing
and there was really a need for deployment
so at some point the other person was like:
can you actually do something useful
so i start to restock
but first i need to clean
and then the boss comes by and tells me i'm not
doing it all fast enough
then i take a break, and i'm talking to this girl
and then her break is over
and one of the guys looks over and taps his watch
and i'm like holy-jebus-WTF i've got three more minutes
then i get off work and i go to try to iron out a problem
i have with this woman who has a shop
she thinks i'm trying to run some scam on her, but i'm not
she is just confused
and finally, to get her to understand how i'm NOT scamming her
i actually have to sort of misrepresent
because she just can't understand the situation
it was really weird

if these are the NEW stress dreams i'm going to get
i'm not liking em
