Weirdest. Dream. Ever.

I was walking around the university looking for a friend when I saw a wheelchair sitting in the hallway. I was like: "that looks like it would be better than walking". Anyway, I apprehend the wheelchair and start wheeling around looking for the particular place we are supposed to meet. When we do meet, I notice that he found a wheelchair too! So we wheel around a bit together and then I realize that my wheelchair is motorized and has a gas pedal. However, shortly after realizing this I see a man who seems appropriately disadvantaged to necessitate the use of such a wheelchair. I stop and ask him: "is this your wheelchair?" He thinks about this for a second before responding in the affirmative. However, I'm a little skeptical from the way he paused so I ask him to verify that it's his wheelchair. Upon verification, I was satisfied to yield the chair to him as I clearly did not need it. As we were leaving one of the security personnel took notice of the fact that I came in a wheelchair as was leaving, well, not in a wheelchair. So he asked if I had stolen that wheelchair. Suddenly concerned that what I did may have been wrong, or worse, illegal (see The IT Crowd - Season 2:Episode 1). I became worried that I would be arrested, or worse, kicked out of school. So I avoided him, and tried to get away. When I noticed he was following me I had the idea to fake a phone call to avoid speaking to him. However, when I pulled my phone out of my pocket I actually received a call from my mother. So, I stopped to talk to her at what appeared to be a large speed-skating arena...at the university. Upon closer inspection I noticed that there was no ice and that this arena worked on the same principle as shuffleboard where, people wear little things on their feet and they slide around on a waxed surface, except people were making intense speed-skating style turns in such a way that their bodies were completely parallel to the surface. This perplexed me as this did not seem physically possible. The security guard, it turned out was more interested in my theft for comical value as he thought it would've been funny. Now looking at the arena he pointed to a set of some available “shoes” and he told me I should try it, but I was hesitant insisting that: “it doesn't seem physically possible”. This was about where I woke, whereupon I was faced with a reality where the university doesn't have wheelchairs lying around or giant shuffleboard arenas. Sad day.
