I was over at a friend's house to watch the superbowl with three other friends 2 years ago Mid-game, he started telling us about the weirdest dream he ever had where he jogging on the sidewalk, one evening, homebound, when a passing car honked and pulled up to him. The driver of the car asked him for the nearest gas station. After kindly giving the man directions, it turns out the driver wanted something else from my friend; the watch he was wearing. The man stuck a gun out of the driver window and yelled "Give up your watch!" After the watch was thrown into the car, the driver sped off. That's the thanks he gets? Very funny when the story takes place in a dream. He had us laughing uncontrollably Not funny at all; not remotely a laughing matter had it not been a dream!

My mind went to all kinds of things your friend could've done, but with a gun aimed at his head, he took the best route. That dream was a nightmare, and you retold it with all the craziness it was meant to evoke. Well written.
