Dreams October 2002

"Refusal to Speak to a Friend"    10/20/02 A friend of mine called me on the phone after we had an argument.  He attempted to apologize, saying that he was mistaken and that he was sorry for hurting me.  I refused to accept his apology.  He continued to try to have a conversation with me, but I did not really contribute to the conversation and only answered in monosyllables.  I felt so annoyed that he had even called me. "On a Date at a Water Park"    10/20/02 A group of friends and I went to a water park.  Such an activity does not really fit into my idea of fun, but I went anyway.  I was on a date with one of the people there, and all of the others were just joining us.  In addition to not wanting to be at the park, I did not want to be on the date.  This water park was different from the typical water park in that everyone was wearing normal clothes rather than swimsuits.  The main activity involved walking on a group of spinning log-like objects.  They were not actually logs, however they were large pieces of plastic that were constructed to look like logs.   I was completely annoyed by the whole situation, but the people who were there other than my date seemed to make it a little better.  They thought the whole event was just as annoying as I thought it was.  They kept making funny comments and teasing my date for picking such a stupid activity. "Having a Friend Sleep at My Apartment"    10/12/02 Two friends and I were driving home from somewhere in my car.  I dropped one friend off at her place.  The other friend had nowhere to stay, so he asked me to drop him off at his friend's apartment.  I decided that he should just stay at my apartment, but then I realized that I would be embarrassed to have him over because my apartment was such a mess. "Helping My Brother with a Book Report"    10/12/02 It was 11:30 at night and my entire family was standing in our kitchen.  My brother was complaining that he had a book report due the next day, but he hadn't bought the book yet.  I believe he was too young to drive.  I realized that Barnes and Noble closes at midnight, so I agreed to drive my brother.  We got into my family's Chevrolet Blazer.  It was a manual transmission.  I was having trouble reaching the clutch.  The Blazer turned into a motorized scooter.  My brother and I rode on it to the bookstore.  I suggested that my brother ask one of the workers to help him find the book that he needed, but he instead went to look at other books.  I walked up to the information desk and asked for help.  I didn't have the title of the book, so I yelled in the store that my brother needed to come to the information desk. "Sleeping Naked in My Car"    10/11/02 I was sleeping naked in the backseat of my car.  I had a lot of blankets and pillows there with me.  I wondered how I would get out of my car because I had no clothes with me in the car.  I also wondered why I was naked and sleeping in my car, but I abandoned that thought when I noticed that there was a guy circling around the outside of my car.  I was worried that he would be able to open one of the doors of my car, but then I saw that they were all locked.  Somehow he managed to open the front passenger door anyway.  All of my text books were sitting on the passenger seat.  He picked one up.  I thought he was going to attack me.  I tried to scream, but couldn't.  I pulled all of the blankets around me and banged the car door against this guy's head.  He seemed stunned and just stumbled away.  Then I went to my grandmother's house.  I was still naked.  I wondered how I could get out of my car and into her house without anyone knowing I was naked.  The last thing I wanted to explain to my grandmother was why I was walking through her house with only a comforter wrapped around me.  I was also worried about seeing a male friend of mine.  I decided I definitely would be embarrassed if he saw me naked.  I ended up sitting on my grandmother's couch with the comforter wrapped around me because I still didn't have any clothes.  My aunt was there.  It was Christmas.  My aunt kept smiling at me as if she wanted me to tell her what was going on.  Then I realized that it was the day after Christmas and that we hadn't opened any of our presents.  They were still under the Christmas tree.  My mother was there, but she no longer seemed to understand the concept of Christmas presents. "Buying Orange Soda and Alcohol"    10/04/02 I went to the grocery store with Diego, and I ended up buying a 2 liter bottle of orange soda and several bottles of alcohol.  The grocery store seemed to be out of diet orange soda, so I resorted to regular.  The three bottles of alcohol that I purchased were in large plastic bottles like the ones that juices typically come in.  The alcohol was flavored with exotic fruits.  The bottles of alcohol were very heavy.  I ended up struggling to carry them.  The orange soda and one bottle of alcohol were in one plastic bag, and two bottles of alcohol were in another plastic bag.  Diego never offered to help me.  I thought that was kind of rude, but then I determined that I shouldn't have been buying so much alcohol anyway, so he was justified in failing to help me carry it. "A Trip to the Student Health Center"    10/02/02 I was walking with F2 and M to the student health center.  I think that they were dating, but that didn't seem to bother me much.  Suddenly I was no longer walking with them.  Instead I was walking with Jillian and F.  We got to the health center, but it looked more like a grocery store.  F apparently had an appointment at the student health center.  She asked one of the grocery baggers if she would miss her appointment if she left for a minute.  She seemed really worried about missing the appointment.  The bagger informed her that she wouldn't miss it and laughed.  F and Jillian walked away while I went over to the bar/restaurant area and waited for my friends to get back from wherever they were going.
