Daymare

So I got out of class early today, so I decided to take like a 15 minute nap in my car.

And that 15 minute nap lead to one of the most bizarre and sorta nightmareish dream that I have remembered. I think the scariest part is that I knew why some scenes were in my dream.

All I can remember was that I was driving in a parking structure with lots and turns in it; it sorta reminded me a little of the Ikea parking lot or 7th street parking lot (it was either a parking structure at a mall or at De Anza) and then I ran into my old middle school's band. They were going on a field trip. I ended up chaperoning the band. They were going to Santa Cruz beach for a fun filled day. I remember seeing my old band director there telling the kids where to go and stuff. Then I remember sitting in the front of the bus passing out some Dark Kona Coffee candies. There was this one girl Gwen, who had a sister who said fairly loudly, "I bet she stole these." I was confused, but I didn't say anything. After a few glares from people, I stood up and turned around and said, "Whoever said that come forward. I want to talk to you." (At the time I didn't know who said it) The thing was, was that the first time I tried doing that no one listened to me. I tried it again and it worked. Ms. Poulin advised me not to make a confrontation, but I did anyways. Besides, after I made my statement, Gwen's sister came forward and said, "Yeah I saw you. You spend so much time at the Great Mall watching movies. Do you even go to school? Do you even have a job?"
"I do go to school. And I only saw three movies."
Gwen's sister said to Gwen, "She was there with a large group of people."
I said, "There were only four people. I don't think that's very large."
And then I think Gwen's sister walked away and sat down and I talked to Gwen about fall semester and the 9AM-5PM classes that I had.

After that, I got off the bus (the bus never left the parking lot) and I vaguely remember Ms. Poulin giving me a google maps sheet that had the location of where we were supposed to meet up at. I took it and got into my car and started it up. I left my emergency parking break off, but my car was still in park mode so I started to roll slowly downhill while I was punching in the address on my GPS. I looked up in time and hit the break pedal so I wouldn't crash into a poll. Then, since I was in a no parking zone or something, I backed out and went  to this random parking spot that said "Get rid of your car here! By appointment only." And underneath that it had a timer of like 8 minutes til the I guess dumpster truck came and got rid of your car. So I finished punching in the numbers and I remember the GPS saying it couldn't find it.

Then I woke up.

I'm no expert on dreams, but this one seemed pretty clear to me what was going on, so I'll break it down for you.

The Breakdown:
- I dreamed of a parking structure probably because I was sleeping in one.
- I was being reminiscent of middle school because that's when I went to Santa Cruz with my friends. I also think I dreamed of Santa Cruz for an entirely different reason which I will not disclose here. Or maybe that's around the time when I met Andie back in middle school, and today is her birthday. I'll let you decide which reason it is.
- I actually did receive a bag of dark chocolate kona coffee macadamia nuts. I don't really know what the purpose was for it in my dream.
- I don't like confronting people, but if it needs to be done, I will do it. It's not very efficient, I know.
- When I went to Daiso a week ago, I really did see Gwen there and I think the girl next to her was her sister, I wasn't sure.
- The whole job vs. school thing has obviously been bothering me, knowing that I don't have time for a job.
- I really did see three movies. I saw Pacific Rim twice and I saw Monsters University. I remember I was thinking of the night I went with Jeremy, Megan, Viet, and I.
- I have issues with my car. It's mainly my fault, like locking the door. But sometimes, the emergency brake light won't turn on when I pull it up, even though I'm sure it's working.
- I guess the timer signifies the short amount of time I feel like I have to do things.


For me, the scariest part of this was knowing where most of it was coming from. Usually my dreams are random, an what not, but for this one, I knew where most of it was coming from and that was pretty frightening. I thought dreams were supposed to be random subconscious. I guess I know what my subconscious is thinking about.
