Bomb Plot (FB+)

“Man, crazy dreams. I dreamed I was part of a group set out to bomb a building.

The dream was so weird. We weren’t out to hurt anyone, just blow up part of the building. The character played by Jessica Biel was the one who was going to wait until everyone left and trigger the bomb at 1:11 a.m. Then, she flaked and I was put in charge of detonating the bomb. So many people were in on this plot, it was hard to know who wasn’t.

Even the very nice, soft spoken administrative assistant was part of our group. She was so cute because she felt so bad after letting something slip. lol”

So here’s what I remember almost two weeks later:

I remember sitting on a friend’s couch and he and Biel’s character leaned over and Biel’s character said that we must blow up part of the building in which I work in waking life. We were all in agreement.

Biel’s character was supposed to place the bomb on my floor and trigger it at 1:11 a.m. We didn’t want to hurt anyone, but I didn’t understand why we couldn’t have done it around 10 p.m.

I also found out that the administrative assistant, a very nice, soft-spoken woman who always seems happy, was in on the plot and so were most of the faculty on my floor. It’s like, they all wanted to see this happen. Because so many people were in on this, I didn’t know who I could talk to about it. Several of the faculty members packed up a lot of their office things to take home with them.

I was over-detailed about how to hide who was to blame that in one part, I was in the main lobby/lounge near the fireplace looking at my photography equipment. The admin. assistant came over and had me go back to the dean’s office to introduce me to a new employee.

One of the bomb plot group members walked out of the door and I rushed back to my stuff, pretending to be worried about being robbed. He was supposed to steal my camera and hide the bomb (in a small-ish case) in my bag. Instead, he left an old dSLR from 2004. I was like, this makes NO sense.

Then, I was informed that Biel’s character flaked out on her part of the plan and it fell on me to see it through. I planned on hiding the bomb in my office and working late. Then, I’d put it in the lobby before 1:11 a.m. However, I remembered the nice night custodian might either (a) find the bag and put it back in my office to be nice or (b) get hurt.

My original role was to act like a photojournalist/reporter and interview a top-level employee in another building for an alibi and to keep her from getting hurt. Now, I was expected to be in two places at once!

The admin. assistant said something in front of a co-worker that she thought gave away too much info and she looked worried. I played it off, asking about the “assignment” I was supposed to do and that I didn’t know where I needed to be.

That’s when a security guard came over to us and said, “We need to talk…”

Then, I woke up.
