I just went to sleep I'm not sure what time, and I woke up from a REALLY long dream, and I thought I slept through the entire night from yesterday afternoon -- I wasn't sure what day it was. It turns out I must have slept an hour or two.

I looked at my watch and it said 4:37 - I assumed AM.

Anyway I was something along the lines of acting sheriff in this weird community that lived inside an indoor strip-mall type structure.
I feel like I'm missing some element of the beginning of the dream but I remember starting a truck and driving it [yes this was indoors] but after I took it around a corner it morphed into me walking with several people around me.
There was a song playing, or perhaps I was singing it, about a man in a town who was part of everything. It went on about how he had every credit card, and why did he pay money to the credit companies when he could give Burt the Dairy man money for the cone. Etc. etc. then this part about gum. About how we like things that are white and when they fall on the ground they are grey.. it was all weird.

Anyway we walked down to the end and there were a couple of those nondescript-type businesses that you usually see with their own large plazas, grey panels, grey everything. One had something to do with shoes made from the noses of all manner of animals? It was weird.. The other was some sort of robotics lab. Anyway, after some strange 'I'm babysitting a guy older than me who's acting like an 8 year-old" and "why won't the bitch sales lady pay any attention when I could very well be a paying customer" I woke up on a bed in a room strangely similar to my bedroom, thinking I heard the voices of the others I'd been with in the mall. I struggled to find my shirt and suit coat, but to no avail.
To my surprise, they didn't emerge from around the corner -- I opened my eyes to find I was laying in bed. The window/comforter thing was lit up so it had to be light outside, and my watch said 4:36. Hence the confusion.
I walked out to the living room, hearing the television on -- Food Network -- and thinking 'he left the Tv on all night?' because that never happens.

Anyway, I figured it out. I messaged two people to say "What are you doing up?" and get "what are you talking about?" type responses. It is a mystery no more!
