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.
