I remember I had a dream one night that I had forgotten to leave important delivery papers on the door of the office for the driver. Woke up literally in a cold sweat, realised he was only coming up TODAY, and that I had not in fact ****ed up. But for a while there I was seriously worried.

Reminds me of time I was smoking a joint outside and was absolutely convinced there was a helicopter circling above me for like ten minutes. It was an air conditioner.
