The dream started with me watching a scary movie in a cafeteria in the wee hours of the morning. I was alone and had the lights off, and I can recall wondering why no one else wanted to join me.

I had somehow acquired a book with a black cover and it was in my possession when Raina (my boss at work) came in to tell me that Kasia's grandma was on the phone. She handed the phone over to me and the next few minutes were spent arguing with her about the book that I had (which is even stranger when you consider that in real life her grandma speaks no English).

Apparently someone she knew wanted this book and she felt that I should give it to them because it was something they really wanted. When I refused to hand it over she became furious with me, and I remember saying "Think of it this way- what if someone came into your house and said 'Oooohhhh! I want your vase!' but it was your favorite vase? You wouldn't GIVE it to them just because they wanted it!"

She responded with "That's different! A vase is just an object!"and I said "SO IS A BOOK!" "NO IT ISN'T!" she screamed, and we just went around in circles unwilling to reason with each other. I was SO furious with her but at the same time it was embarrassing to be sitting next to Raina because I didn't want her to think we fought like this all the time.
