Hair Color, College, and a Road Trip With My Fifth Grade Teacher

I dreamt I had finally snapped and dyed my hair. I didn't have access to the coral color I wanted, so I grabbed whatever readily available bottles I could find. I chose the BRIGHT orange, which with my unbleached hair being relatively light, I figured would end up with a nice (if fairly subtle) color. Once it was almost done, I decided to take the bright yellow and throw it on top to add a bit more color and get the areas I'd missed. At this point I figured I was already going to likely be fired for my hair color upon arrival at work, so I went crazy adding blue streaks, pink highlights, and whatever other colors I could find. When it was done, it looked AMAZING. (Also, my hair was short, and I liked it.) At one point during all this, we were at UofM trying to get into my dorm, and Paisley kept going in the smaller neighboring room. There was a Rudolph toy on the bed she wanted and it was hard to get her out. At a different point we were getting out of the car, and she moved in such a way as to cause the stroller to collapse, and a nice chick came and hung out with us and helped with her so I could get some rest and take it easy. There was also a likely unrelated portion of the dream in which I was on an accidental road trip with, among others, my fifth grade teacher (who I am, in real life, Facebook friends with, and who is, in real life, on a road trip.) This portion is vaguer in my memory, but at one point it was dark and there was/had been a fire or hurricane or storm (all three?) and we had to put things back where they belonged and get them back to the right owners, especially the board game that held deep sentimental value to its owner (?).
