Real Life: I have ordered three pieces of black leather furniture. They should arrive next week. I live alone in an apartment.

Last Night's Dream: The furniture has arrived. There is only one delivery man, and he has somehow dragged the couch into the house, damaging some of my other furniture and splitting open the box the couch came in in the process.

The couch is indeed black, but

  1. It is not made of leather, but of thick black cloth.
  2. The cloth has gaping holes in some places.
  3. It is covered with a thick layer of plaster dust, as if the naked cloth was dragged along a drywall.
  4. There is no sign of the loveseat or chair that I also ordered. (I didn't realize this until I started adding to this node)

I tell the delivery man that this is unacceptable, and that he is going to have to take the couch back to the store right now. My roommate looks at the crappy couch and says that he wants to have it. This surprises me, because my roommate is a preppy lawyer type who is very fastidious in his grooming and dress (he is based on a real friend of mine, not a creation of my dream). I can't see why he would want this thing.
