This is why I can't always figure out if I'm awake.

So I'm walking into work this morning at an insanely early hour when a a well-dressed, professional woman stops me and asks me where the library is.
"It's over there," I point. "The next building over."
She stares at the building. "But that can't be the library!" she gasps.
"Well, the part that's facing us is the theatre," I start, "and the library entrance --"
"But the building's BROWN!" she said.
I realized I had not had enough coffee. "Yes?"
"I can't go into a library if it's brown!"
I looked at the building. "Huh," I said.
"I can only go into libraries if they're blue," she said.
"I'm sorry," I told her.
The main problem with this conversation is that I figured that I had to be dreaming, since the conversation didn't make any sense whatsoever, so I tried to figure out how exactly I could get the dream to go elsewhere, when one of my co-workers came up to me and tried to have a sensible conversation, which proved, sadly, that I am not really dreaming, but am at work.

If she's referencing some really clever in-joke, she's got one on all of us, I'm afraid.

Of course it the lady had said she could only go into libraries if they were lemon yellow I would understand it. I mean how could anyone go into a library that is a color other than lemon yellow?
