scary dream

Last night I had a dream that I was in the cafeteria at the top floor of an office building (much like the one where I actually work), and while I tried to choose between chocolate custard and key lime pie, an emergency would erupt wherein one of the employees suddenly became hysterical; the exact same situation kept playing itself out over and over, except each time he would do something more berserk than the time before, with the last round involving him cutting off his own finger, spraying the terrified patrons with his blood and screaming "You have it too, now, you have it too." Every time something like this happened, the same mousey woman would try to control the crowd by telling us to calmly head toward the exits--and every time we would throw her in the way of the mad man, trampling her as we fled for our lives.
