OK, A more typical dream for me goes something like this:

We bought an older house and were fixing up the kitchen. We were replacing some bad sheetrock and I was installing a shade on a window. My wife was on the phone with her sister, who was complaining about her job. She works as a clinical laboratory scientist (for real) and in the dream her boss had her assembling a large chart for the wall which contains all of the terms and definitions that they use in her office. It was a huge chart, as big as a door. The thing was that the chart was actually a giant jigsaw puzzle and it was taking her forever to assemble it. The worst part was that while she was doing it they would only pay her minimum wage, because the shareholders in her company would never approve paying someone her salary 'just to assemble a jigsaw puzzle.'

Then the alarm clock went off and I was left to ponder this injustice as I shuffled off to brush my teeth, never knowing why we had bought a house with crumbly sheetrock in the kitchen.
