Shoes, and Ships, and Sealing Wax

I dreamed of shoes last night.

They were beautiful.  Loafers with a square toe, leopard skin with pink bows.  Wow, what a shoe. I don't know if they really exist. The first part of the dream was not so beautiful.  I was going to a friend's house for a function. On the way there I got a phone call from said friend's husband. "Hey, you will have to drive we don't have gas and we spend a lot of money on you anyway, so it is your turn to spend some money." and then the call ended. I was in shock.  Had I been unknowingly draining my friends? Was I a burden to them? Money is tight for me and for them.  I tried to call back, but no answer. (This is funny because I rarely talk on the phone while I am driving; what is more funny is that I began to try and text him back and express my sorrow and hurt at his comment. I never text in the car.)  I was having trouble texting and driving at the same time (wonder of wonders) and I got hit by a semi. As I am thrown from the car all I can think about is that I am leaving this world in deep debt  to my friends and family.  Then out of nowhere I was wearing these amazing shoes.  I began to think dying might not be so bad if I left this world in such style.

And then I woke up.

Can you say "Anxiety Dream"?
