too bad.
--
i'm going out to a bar. there aren't many people inside, but i make my way up to the bartender, and although i know what i want, i don't know the names of anything. "i saw you had this drink? it's all pink and fizzy, and i think it has vodka? maybe cranberries?" so it's a vodka and cranberry juice with like sprite or something.
"oh, yes, i know what you mean," and he types on the cash register.
"and do you have like fries?" i point to a sign that has cheese and bacon fries on it. more typing. i hand him my credit card, and this confuses him. he goes through the list of cards that are being held for tabs, and then has to find my card, even though i just gave it to him. he rings it up, i get my card back, and my receipt, which shows he charged my like $40 for "strawberry fizz special" and "super stuffed potato blasts" or similar nonsense.
"here's your water cup," the bartender says as he gestures to the soda machine. i walk over to that, and try to find the water option. i find it, clearly labeled as the alternate option for "hershey's chocolate sauce {ONLY AVAILABLE WITH VANILLA CUP}" apparently in dream world, if you have a water cup, you get water, but if you have the "vanilla cup," it shoots out chocolate. because why not.
also no, because i clearly sat down with a cup of ginger ale.
so i sit at a table and try to hide my obviously-not-water cup from the bartender, who seems to be doing stuff. there are two people talking at different tables, and i kind of half listen to them while i watch tv. which is on like tcm, because that's what you show at dream bars. time passes, and i realize that i've watched an entire movie. then the other two people start to worry, because the tv switches to a trivia thing, and they don't know the answers. i say a few, and they're all really confused, because they don't know them. "this is all about the movie they just showed."
"huh?" then it switches, and i realize this is all about the movie they showed before that movie, and now i've been sitting in a bar for two movies worth of time. i look for the bartender, but he's gone. eventually he comes out from where ever, but now he's drunk, and just sits on the floor crying.
"i'm probably not getting my cheese fries."

so i leave, i guess, because i'm suddenly driving, and pulling into the driveway of someone i don't actually know, but i'm supposed to meet a friend here, and the person who owns the house is a friend of her friend. but there are no other cars in the driveway, so i just back out again, and drive around the corner to try and get something to drink. i find a convenience store, but it's weird because i know in my head that the driveway and house are on the mainland, but the store is in hawaii.
i park, and go inside. there is nothing inside except two pop machines and a crowd of people at the counter. i look at the machines, and while i'm trying to decide between the two, i glance outside to see two guys looking at me while they mess with my bike.
yep. i have a bicycle now. just go with it. also i didn't lock my bike up, because when i went inside, it was a car and i didn't think people would be able to lift it up.
i walk towards the door, they panic and try to take off with my bike, and i run after, nearly grabbing on to the back of the bike. i shout ahead, and some big guy slams the guy on my bike, and it falls over. i run up, hop on my bike, and race away.
back to the house. there are now three new cars in the driveway, so i should be ok now. for some reason, i open up a door, and ride my bike inside. i'm all sneaky, waiting for rooms to clear, and then biking through, not at all making "whumpa whumpa whumpa" sounds as i cross rugs and tiles. eventually i'm lined up for the front door, and when i see the last person turn around, i shoot for it, making it through.
however, going through the door causes the door bell to ring, and i can hear people coming to check. i run away (bike's gone now, i'm guessing because even in dream land, you can't bike to a door, open the door, go through, and close the door while still being on a bike), and hide behind some bushes. i reach up to see if i'm hidden, and that's when i wake up.

my best guess is that this was a "hey, let's pretend some social situations!" and it just went horribly wrong in my brain.
