last night i dreamt

i was running up a street in downtown somewhere at night, and as i got toward the end of it, there were two bright white new buildings. One was still being built, in fact, and a couple people that I know where outside sanding the white marble, trying to get it built. I ran inside another building, and there was an old man on the top floor that I was supposed to go on a date with. My mom was in the building, so i said i was going to use her as an excuse why i couldn't go on the date -- that she had said I wasn't allowed to date really old men. I was downstairs, trying to get to the top floor of the tower to tell him, but the floors were all slanted and slippery, and I was barefoot and couldn't keep my footing.
Then the cops showed up and started arresting people for public drunkenness, and I kept trying to explain to the officer that I wasn't drunk, and he could smell me and tell, and that the floor was just bad for walking, but he patronizingly dragged me over to the cop car. I said, "At least go upstairs and ask my mom! she'll tell you!" at which point the cop got all concerned and apologetic, saying he didn't know i was there to study, and that he was very sorry for disturbing me.
As i walked away, I noticed my arresting officer was Omar Gooding,. I said, "You were on Wild and Crazy Kids!" He was very pleased that I noticed, and I heard him commenting on it to the drunks in the lobby as I walked off.
