I was in the office but it looked different and Sean was being very condescending on things. Somehow the topic of Viva came up, the Pinup thing that happens in Vegas and I talked about how a couple of my girlfriends went there and competed and how I used to go (always missed it irl) but I know what that is cause I’ve done pinup style, and looked over to my left to see my reflection against the whiteboard and I was wearing some purple hat but the period wear was closer to Victorian which annoyed me due to circumstances.
He and Thomas and left and I was walking when I saw them outside of their truck, they’d rear ended an armor vehicle and I thought of stopping to seee if they were okay and decided not to and kept going. I ended up in the desert but wasn’t sure where, since I was east of Phoenix I thought maybe Vegas in the dream (why not NM?). and my car was messed up or destroyed or something. I was trying to figure out how to get it back and was running into something weird with the dealership about new car finance terms for a new car… that was still my car? It was weird. At dinner a friend was saying I could go back to Phoenix for a bit while I waited, and he had two other friends there who were like Jonathan and Alex from Buffy in behavior (but looked different) and we got into some weird trivial argument and they were talking about how hard they could party, and I was all pfft you guys got nuthin, and when they asked how old I was I was all I’m over 29 but it doesn’t matter cause Phoenix peeps know how to party! And the friend / person I knew was like oh no and the two other guys got visibly upset and flipped the table we were sitting at, and it was one of those large round banquet tables you see inside of ballrooms that get rented out in hotels or conference venues. And then I realized they were mad at the friend we all knew because he was being low key and I indirectly called him out for being able to go around and “rage” with them cause he was also from Phoenix. Whatevs. I looked at the weather app and it was 103 there at night so I wasn’t sure how I was gonna handle it. I was also trying to figure out work and then thought I should message my boss and let him know I was stranded so I’d be working remotely while there.
I was trying to find relatives to crash with or to find for safety while I was stranded there and ended up in a car with this person who was supposedly a family friend and then someone else was driving up front. He was lighting a cigarette but it looked more like the size of a blunt and almost the whole thing flowed red so when he asked me to hold it for a sec because something was up with his hand it freaked me out after I’d taken it. I handed it back and he was fine. He was instructing the person driving what to do and she said it to push it but because he wanted her to hurry she blew through a red light and drove over a bunch of broken glass. It looked like car wrecks were common in that intersection. Finally we stopped and he got out, so I guess we were where he wanted to be. And then I realized I needed to go to GWCC and the campus was way different and then we were at someone else’s house and I guess these we’re more family friends. I was trying to explain where the campus was and they confirmed it was just down the street so this was manageable.
I went to the campus and was in the computer lab for a bit then decided it was time to head back, and noticed my dad’s Mac book and went to grab it to take it with. Back at the family friends house I was going over some stuff on my own computer and this guy was sitting there at a desk and it was like he just knew what was going on with my situation. And it was weird how I was stuck there, like why not just fly back home for a week or however long it was gonna take for things to sort out and then fly back or have my car shipped up? It was like I was trapped in an alternate universe where things were a little different and options thsf would normally be available weren’t. The guy who kind of knew was involved but idk how, like if he did it and had motI’ve or if he was fhere to observe me,
And dad and my uncle came back and had some weird looking contents in what looked like the clear plastic to go food containers pho places used for broth. It was cancer cells and growth from grandpa they had and were trying to research for something that seemed very motivated by self preservation and my uncle opened the top and leaned it towards me and I was all eww get that away from me, and got up to walk around. There’s more but I can’t remember.
