I am a 22 year old male. Fresh out of college. Working for a pretty decent company, and actually tasked with giving a presentation for new hires to everyone I work with.

Something like 200 people. I have to wear a full suit and tie even.

I told my friend Ashley, who says I constantly annoy her as a "know-it-all" that I was a bit nervous about it. We always tease each other. She said "whatever you do, don't overthink it. You wouldn't want to have that dream where you're doing the presentation NAKED! Hahaha". I scoffed at how ridiculous that was. But I admit I did blush a bit.

The next night, I dreamed I was giving the presentation. Everyone sounded impressed. Everything I was saying was on the money. Then, when I got to my key point, I heard snickering in the crowd.

The snickering turned into slight laughter. Then that grew into loud, uproarious laughter.

I felt air conditioning on my bare butt-cheeks.

I looked down and I was naked. But even worse, not even "naked". I was wearing nothing but a red tie and tube socks. You know the ones? The high white socks with red white and blue rings around the top? The same type I was laughed at in the 7th grade locker room for wearing while changing.

My tie hanging over my bare, lily-white belly (not fat, but a rounded belly from snacking too much and never hitting the gym).

Everyone starts snapping cell phone pics as I desperately cover my penis and turn my plump white "bubble butt" towards the crowd and try to get out of the room, which is of course locked.

My boss, Ms. Silvan, gets up and says "Next time I should hire a speaker who's dressed to impress!" and SPANKS my naked ass as I woke up panting in cold sweats.

I know it's ridiculous, but the dream felt SO freaking real. I cringe when I think of that feeling of the air conditioning on my bare tush. I blush when I imagine looking down at my bare body. And the looks on the laughing faces of everyone in the crowd (especially Courtney in Finance ugh).

Thanks to Ashley I now have this dream every freaking night for the last 2 weeks. And it never stops feeling real!

Ashley said "oh this is too good. I can't stop mentally stripping you down to your cute little tube socks. Sweet dreams!"

I understand the meaning of the dream itself, but:

1. Why do you think Ashley finds it so amusing and hilarious?

2. What is humorous about "someone like me" as she puts it, being in such a nightmare scenario?!

3. And why TUBE SOCKS and a TIE??
