Watching Too Much CSI:Crime Scene Investigation
I was getting a tour of the police station, or was there for some reason, where a friend of mine who works there in real life, I'll call him "Cat5". I was there visiting or on a tour and he showed me a locker/closet where there was a $200,000 check. Either I suggested it or he did, I don't remember, but he snuck out the check and gave it to me, saying that they would just chalk it up to "must have been lost". Most of the dream was spent in the moral dillema struggle, trying to see if I should do this, if they would catch me, etc.
In the end I decided I just couldn't do it.
I emailed the check back to him (how the heck did I do that?) encrypted, and then sent another email to him telling him to put the check back and just forget the whole thing. I did it vaugely though, in "code", saying something like "remember that thing we talked about when I went to the school, well just forget about it and lets forget it happened" or something like that. I then was in a meeting with a bunch of cops who were talking about the check. There was a question of whether someone was there when the check dissapeared or not, and he said "of course I was there, didn't you just hear me blowing my whistle?" This was before the check was put back I think and they were talking about how the floor was checked when it was lost (my plan was to just have Cat5 put the check of the floor under the closet and say that it had slipped under). Of course, if that had been already checked, I thought that maybe we should just destroy the check and forget it ever happened.
In the meeting though there was a guy taking pictures of people (like in CSI), including me, and there seemed to be more interested than I would have liked in myself and Cat5. I was scared shitless that someone would interview me and I wouldn't be able to lie well enough to protect my own ass.
When I woke up (quickly, the alarm didn't go off in the morning) I had to take a few seconds to try to remember if this actually happened or not, and if I was ok.
I think not watching CSI or cop shows for a while would be good, as Firefly also had a dream involving characters from CSI....
