The Desk Chair That Could

Well, it was a long dream, but I think I was in Windsor/apt complex type place. I had gone searching for breakfast, even though I saw it was 1:30 and no one would be serving it. When I tried to return to my apt, going up one set of stairs somehow got me to the 3rd floor which left me feeling confused. I was changing clothes and I put on some black top with this pink shorts/suspenders thing. (haha it was nice.) I went outside, and suddenly my apt is a house and I’m standing in the driveway. My desk chair is sitting there. (It was actually the one at my parent’s house, which I’ve had since I was a little kid because it had my distinctive “mindy mccutchan” sticker label on the back.)
Well, across the road from “my” house was the ocean or something and a huge dock. My driveway was a steep hill and suddenly my desk chair (with rollers) starts zipping down the drive. As I ran after it, I saw cars coming from both directions (road looked like 231 near the levee), it was 2 lanes, so I was like “crap, I can’t save it.” I fully expected a car to smash it in front of me, yet somehow, it missed all the cars. (Yes, it missed the cars, not the other way around.) It continued rolling onto this huge cement ramp across the road. I lost sight of it so I just ran in the general direction. It was a desk chair on a mission.
As I was running on the dock area, there was suddenly a flood of people running in the same direction. One guy (good looking btw) said hi to me. He said, “I love that pink thing” (referring to my shorts/suspenders). I pull my jacket together, completely embarrassed, and said, “I had hoped no one would see me in this, but I have to get my desk chair.” I associated him with being in the Navy, but that could have been because of the dock *shrug* So I continued running, but lost track of him because of something I can’t remember. I finally ended up where the crowd of people were. There was something out in the water or in some fenced area. Maybe marsh-like. I cannot remember what it was. However, over in the distance my chair was sitting there, turned over on its side. I said something like “crap, how the hell am I supposed to get it from there.”
Yeah, so I dreamed about chasing a runaway desk chair. I’m not sure I want to know about the symbolism. I just hope there is some, otherwise I’m just a freak.
UPDATE (1 day later): Well, my meetings are on the the third floor of KNOY, but today, for no reason, I walked on to the second floor. I soon realized I’d messed up, but there were people behind me, and I was in no mood for a U-turn, so I proceeded to walk around the whole floor until I could get to the other exit. The lady that does our paychecks had her door open and saw me walk by, so I had to say hi. She knew I had no business on that floor. haha. Well, if you read my dream below, you’ll see why it’s funny that this happened today.
