Well actually, it was this morning, not last night. I know this because I got up to go to the bathroom, then went back to bed, and this happened after that.
I already told this dream to a couple of people, and was going to tell more, but then I figured rather than re-telling the story over and over to anyone who does not appear to be dreadfully bored by my telling, I'd just post it here. :) Supposedly, recording your dreams when you remember them (or telling someone, or whatever) helps you to remember them more often, so here we go.
So this morning, I dreamed that there had been a power outage during the night, and thus my alarm clock did not go off and wake me up at the proper time. By the time I actually woke up, figured out what had happened, and figured out what time it actually was, it was 11:00 AM. So I basically decided "Screw it; at this point, I might as well just take the day off as a sick day." So, for some unremembered reason (no doubt it made perfect sense in dream-logic), I then tried to borrow various people's phones in order to call Ryan and ask him to email my boss to say that I wouldn't be coming in. For some reason, this wasn't working out and I couldn't get a hold of Ryan. I don't remember the details any more, but I do remember one moment of someone who's phone I was trying to borrow saying that they didn't have Ryan's number in their phone, so I looked it up in my phone and started telling them. I no longer have any idea of what happened with that and why that didn't work out, but it didn't, for whatever reason. Eventually, I gave up on trying to contact Ryan, and decided that I could probably send the "I'm sick today" email myself. So then I began trying to borrow various people's phones so I could send that email! I remember having all sorts of difficulties with that too, although I can no longer remember what said difficulties were. In the end, before the situation got resolved, my actual alarm clock did go off and wake me up for real. Last I remember in the dream, it was now 1:00 PM and I still hadn't managed to alert anyone at the office that I would not be coming in that day. LOL.
