Curse you evil subconscious!

newnumber6Had a dream last night involving chips, traffic accidents, and lots of money!
Okay, so I was walking home from work and I saw a crashed car. Now somehow I knew it wasn't actually a crashed car, it was a promotion for (a specific brand of chip that will remain nameless unless I'm offered money for advertising) where apparently they had an ad campaign sort of focusing on the intense flavour of the chips distracting people, and thus getting them into accidents if they ate while driving. Anyway, I walked towards the back cause I saw a tube of (those chips) and went to grab it because, hey, I like chips. I noticed on the can that there was a contest that whoever was the first to find one of these fake-crashed-vans and look inside would get anything that was inside, so I ran back to it (by this time I was walking away) and climbed inside and saw a bag of money because it was an armored car. Then somebody came up and announced that yes, it was in fact a contest and I was first, so I won, a huge bag of money. And there were lots of stacks of bills in a clear plastic bag.
Anyway, I was thinking how cool this was and wanted to transfer it into a backpack so I wouldn't get mugged on the way home and there were only two choices, one was a smallish pinkish one, and one was the contest guy's own backpack, which technically I could have demanded under the terms of the rules but I said that no, I'd let him keep it and just take the girly one because, hey, what do I care about what people think of me, I'm rich!
At this point, someone else who works at the same store as me came in with her little toddler son (she doesn't have children to my knowledge, but I barely know her, she's just one of those people that I'll say hi to in passing if I see her), seeing if she could win, but clearly I'd already won.
She mentioned seeing other trucks in this crashed-truck promotion before but she didn't expect that they all had huge bags of money and contest-guy confirmed that it varies from truck to truck, some just have small prizes in them.
Then I think she asked how much it was I won, and I realized I hadn't known yet and I looked through the plastic bag and noticed that most of the stacks of money were labelled '50,000' but then there was at least one where the _bills_ were labelled with numbers in the millions, and in particular there was a five million dollar bill visible at the top of the stack.
Which of course filled my head with all sorts of excitement and stuff and I felt kinda like just handing out money to the people nearby, but I was also thinking how crazy it was that a company would give away prizes of something that must total in the tens of millions of dollars if not more, randomly without much promotion. I guess it broke my suspension of disbelief because I woke up, no longer rich. :P.
Oh, I also had a dream I was at some sort of benefit honoring William Shatner and shook his hand and then went to eat hors d'ouerves that were apparently made with swiss cheese because, in the dream world, swiss cheese baked into donut-like hors d'ouerves keeps them fresher longer. Dream logic does not always match Earth logic and this should not be considered a cooking tip unless you happen to be cooking in the dream world, in which go for it, because the dream donuts were awesome.
