I used to work in a call center with a very long spiel for answering the phone. I never used it when someone called me, but one time I had a dream that my phone was ringing at work. I woke up (sort of), picked up my cell phone, and recited the script ... Only to finally open my eyes and see I was talking to no one but my befuddled dog.
