Dream Last Night

I had a crazy dream last night. I guess I should preface my story by saying that the day before yesterday a couple friends from work and I were talking about reality TV over lunch. Why exactly? I have no idea. Anyway, my friend Erin mentioned she liked to watch the Amazing Race which I didn't know anything about so she explained the premise of the show... scavenger hunt like contest around the world with challenges along the way. So... now to my dream....

I was involved in some sort of Amazing Racesque competition except there were several people on my team and the scavenger hunt took place around the country not the world. There were also particular challenges for each state. There were about eight of us on a team, and of course I don't remember all the people on my team, but I do remember that my friends Jennifer, Micah, and Jordan were on it. The dream started out in someplace that looked like Taos, NM. Our "challenge" for NM was to go to a cocktail party. Really difficult I know, but somehow we weren't doing so well b/c Micah go lost on the way to the cocktail party and then when we got there we remembered we were suppose to bring a cake. Very odd dream I know.

So, Jordan and I headed out in search of the cake. We arrived at this bakery, but not a bakery that you'd think you'd find in Taos. The bakery was more like one you'd see in NYC. It was really crowded and people were yelling out their orders to the fat guys behind the counter who ran the bakery. We went in and were immediately squished by all the people. While we waited our turn we had a nice chat about the meaning of life (again, very odd dream I know).

We finally got up to the counter to order our cake, but the only one they had left at this point was a red velvet cake that was shaped like an armadillo. Since we absolutely had to have a cake we bought it and made our way back to the cocktail party.... I have to add here that we must've made several clothing changes b/c we had at least three different outfits on during the cake adventure. When we got back to the cocktail party I was wearing a Aubrey Hepburn type pencil skirt and an odd turquoise top that seemed to change colors, almost like those hypercolor shirts from back in the day....

When we finally got back to the cocktail party our cake was a hit and Jordan and I were really proud of ourselves as if we knew we were going to get that cake from the beginning. Micah finally showed up to the cocktail party towards the end of the dream wearing a tuxedo.

That was it.... Very odd.
