Weirdness in Dreamtime

[billroper]

So last night I was dreaming that I was in a parking lot and that daisy_knotwise had left her keys in the minivan and had left the minivan unlocked. I had driven there separately, saw the car, and hit the trigger on my spare car key to lock the minivan. Then I headed off to find her and tell her to go get her keys. (Why I didn't grab the keys myself is one of those mysteries.)

I found myself sitting at a table, facing some woman that I didn't recognize, but who was supposed to be Gretchen.

"You can't leave your keys in the car like that."

"Sure I can. You locked it, didn't you?"

"Yes, I did, but someone could break the window and steal the car. You need to go get the keys."

"Don't worry. It'll be fine." And she got up and left.

At this point, I turned to the director and said, "All right, who is this idiot? What did you do with Gretchen? We need to get her back here now!"

Obviously, a problem somewhere in Central Dream Casting...
