Funky dream

[sun_set_bravely]

I walked into the bathroom at my workplace, and there were stalls, but also a toilet out in the open. I assumed it was just a one-toilet bathroom, so I sat down on the non-stalled toilet and did my business.

As I was, uh, finishing, another woman walked into the bathroom and gave me a funny look. When I stood up, I realized that I'd been sitting on a washing machine. I couldn't believe it, but I suddenly realized that my feet hadn't been able to touch the ground when I was sitting, so it must be true. I tried to flush the machine, but the toilet/washer overflowed with water. I was totally embarrassed. The other women now in the bathroom told me that I had to call someone about this. I picked up the phone (in the bathroom?) and called the operator.

Soon, a young woman came up and asked me what the problem was. I told her and she was very kind. She sent out for someone else to help, and we stood there by the machine together. She was really friendly, and so I leaned forward and said, "I can't believe this happened... but I was really sleepy and unaware, and I sat down on this machine and thought it was a toilet. Can you believe that?" She seemed amused.

Then I woke up. I just realized all the women in this dream were black women. I have no idea what that means, except that my sister and I were just last night discussing how we miss living in a place that was pretty evenly diverse: 25% black, 25% white, 25% Hispanic, and 25% Asian. I mean, NYC is diverse, but, you know, these groups don't always talk to each other. And Lord knows my college was pretty bright.

Anyway.

Fortunately, I did read the subject line, and this cracked my shit up. Not literally, of course. Didn't I tell you about placing Inappropriate Objects in the washing machine? You're lucky the Hygiene Hotline was there. Hey, given the racial makeup of the characters and the unusual phone location, perhaps you were actually in the Matrix! Good thing you woke up before the handyman arrived and said, "I know Flush-Fu."

The real question is what the dryer does.
