"I had a terrifying nightmare last night. I was in Minneapolis, and I had just finished serving food at a soup kitchen where I was volunteering on the overnight shift. I stepped outside into the cold air. The streets were deserted, and suddenly I came to a horrifying realizationit was 3:30 AM, and I was stranded in downtown Minneapolis, with no way to get home! I woke up screaming, sweat pouring down my face, as my roommate rushed in to comfort me. 'I had the most horrible nightmare!' I said. 'I dreamed I was stranded in downtown Minneapolis with no way to get home!'"
