This dream was delicious.
I was at a Krispy Kreme that Barry worked at with Sheree and two other people that I just can't figure out who they were. KK was having a March sale, where you started out with a 'buy one donut, get one free' coupon, and then you turn that one in, and you'd get a 'buy a half dozen, get a half dozen free' coupon, and when you turned that one in you'd get a 'buy a dozen, get a dozen free' coupon, etc.
Somehow, I had skipped the smaller coupons (or had used them previous to this KK visit), and turned in my 'buy a dozen, get a dozen' coupon to get a dozen regular KK donuts, and a dozen of these chocolate-ginger/some other holiday spice limited time donuts that were apparently the best thing ever. I took my boxes and went back over to sit down with Sheree and the other people. We didn't eat them or anything, just had the box sitting there and we were talking. Then Barry walked over and started chatting with us about donuts. I was super excited (probably all the sugar in the air, I'm surprised Sheree wasn't crazier) and wanted to go look at all the donuts in the display case, so Barry went with me.
While I was up there talking to him, a family came in and bought a dozen donuts and some muffins/cupcakes. I feel like they were muffins, but there was definitely frosting on top, so they must have been cupcakes. I didn't know they sold cupcakes, and Barry was like, "yup!" and showed me all the kinds they had. Apparently the lady in the family had picked out the 'mother's day cupcake' which had caramel frosting, and someone else in that family had gotten a chocolate one. These were giant cupcakes. Easily 4-5" across. So then I decided to get some cupcakes, and magically had the appropriate coupon to get one free. The guy at the register was like, "you know, all these coupons expire tomorrow (St. Patrick's Day), and I doubt we'll get many people in, so here, you can have all these," and handed me a stack of coupons that was about an inch thick. Cue more excitement! Went back to sit down with Sheree et.al. and showed them my coupons, and then Sheree wanted to get cupcakes too, and then everyone I was with wanted free donuts, and so we had a giant pile of donut boxes.
It was a delicious dream, and the first thing I did when I got up was to check and see where the nearest KK was. And then realize that even if we did go to it, the chocolate/holiday spice donuts were imaginary and I wouldn't be able to eat them anyway.

Weirdest Ice Breaker Ever.
So this dream I guess takes place in high school, since it only had people from high school in it, but we were closer to being the age we are now rather than high school aged.
There was a giant classroom with probably close to 200 people in it. The center of the classroom was basically a giant rectangular pit, about 30' wide by 60' long, and probably 20' deep. The desks were the typical one armed desks everyone had in high school, and were arranged in rows of 4 facing the pit.
The teacher (who I think was that 8th grade social studies teacher we had who locked a class in the classroom one time, don't remember her name) had a bucket with slips of paper with everyone's names on them. Once everyone had them, we were supposed to find our partner. (Now that I'm awake, this seems weird because that would mean that the person whose name you have wouldn't necessarily have your name, but thats how it worked in the dream... or at least, that's how it was supposed to work.)
The name I drew was something like 'Bunni Smith,' I am 100% positive on the first name (and the spelling), and I know the last name was something common. Most of the students knew each other so it was easy to find your partner, but there were some unfamiliar faces. There was one girl a few rows over from me that looked like she might be a Bunni, so I asked her if she was, and she was like, no, I think that she sits over there (on the other side of the pit). But by the time I started heading over to the other side of the room, nearly everyone had found their partner and was sitting down with them. The teacher called the last six of us without partners over to her and paired us up. Not sure who three of the people were, but James, Barry and I were in the group. I ended up getting paired with James.
The point of this whole exercise was to do an ice breaker activity, which is weird when most of the people already know each other. But this was no ordinary ice breaker. At the bottom of the pit was a pool. The pool had all these ball bearings floating on top of it, and somehow a subwoofer was involved. The teacher had us all line up around the edge of the pit and flipped a switch or something. The lights turned off and it got all disco-y and when the subwoofer thumped, the ball bearings would jump and change what shape they were making. The teacher explained that we were to get to know our partners and find out something new & unique about them to share with the class. We would then have to take that fact and somehow incorporate it into a ball bearing performance, which would involve figuring out how to program it to work.
Of course, then everyone started talking about how friggin impossible this would be- not only to program ball bearings to do what you want (while floating on water), but the teacher wasn't supplying us with any information on how this would be accomplished, so we would have to research it individually, and oh, by the way, it's due in a week!
I don't really know what I learned that was new about James, but I think we decided I'd make something about how he likes the Civil War.
That's it!
