non-lucid

Went job hunting in the city with Julie and Emily. First stop is H&M. The employees tell us to just stay so we can be interviewed there. I did not see any clothes there, but I recall employees doing people’s hair like a salon. This was not your average H&M, it looked very majestic with gold trimming, high ceilings, and paintings everywhere. While we waited for the boss, me, em, and ju went to the backroom where there were clothes. All of the clothes on the racks were dresses, I remember specifically one with polka dots, and one with stripes and a bow on the front of it. I almost got mad at Emily because I thought she chose to try on the same dress as me, but she assured me that she didn’t.

By the time I picked everything I wanted to try on, it was my turn for an interview. I might have said something like “Shoot, I can’t try my stuff on.” Julie replies by saying “ It’s okay, I didn’t like those clothes anyway.” In my defense I say, “Well, I’m STILL gonna try them on.”

I don’t recall the interview, but I do remember thinking I was going to get hired when the boss called everyone into this huge beautiful room. The boss, me and this other girl sat on a couch, while a lot of other employees surround us on the floor. The boss says “We should find a better way to do this, but we all decided to hire Brownie!” All I could think was, who the heck is Brownie?

After he says her name, people start smiling and chit chatting, and I over hear stories of this Brownie girl and how funny she is, and how she talks about Africa all the time.

Amongst the chatter, I notice that me and the young boss had our arms intermingled. It seemed to be intentional.

Then something WEIRD happened. Everyone stops their chit chatting once we all notice a family walk through the doors. A dad, a mom, and two daughters. They pay no attention to the huge amount of young people sitting on the floor. They go straight to the walls and stare and touch them in amazement. This is the first time any of us notice there is art all around us. The walls are painted thoroughly with lamp posts and book shelves. The family is yelling back and forth to each other “Look at this one!” While we sit there and stare at the family in amazement.

We all, (people from New Paltz) went on a school trip to the beach. I remember asking Lakendra to come with me to the bathhouse to get my stuff, because it was getting dark and I was scared.

Me and my mom go to eat lunch on top of this very high pole, that was sort of birds eye view of some high way in New Jersey. I was so scared for my life, but after a while I got used to it.

I was bragging to my little cousin about all the famous people that went to my school, like Selena Gomez and Justin Beiber.

It was sort of a continuation of a dream, where in a past dream a new friend of colleen’s was trying to kill us off one by one, it would start out with her asking if we want to see this movie on her computer. When it came to her asking me, for some reason I knew what she was trying to do and as she flicked the lights off and asked, I would say something like, “no thanks, I don’t wanna see it.”

Another dream that seemed to be a continuation was swimming in clear blue water with colleen and possibly a boy where we see dolphins, then they disappear and we see sharks. Later on in my dream cycle, when several dreams have passed, I find a camera where I had taken underwater photos of the dolphins and sharks, and thought “why haven’t I put these on facebook yet?”

At one point I was helping Whitney clean out her stuff from some sort of church basement or storage room, and I thought “wow I’ve been moving a lot these days.”

At one point I was helping Colleen move I think, and I had this weird car that I forgot I had the key to. It was raggedy and beige, almost like a very mini pick up truck, it changed forms by the end of the dream.

I almost got married to a darkishly tanned Mexican guy after knowing him for a few days. He was not my type nor was I very attracted to him. When the day came for the wedding, I began to feel nervous and knew I was going to call off the wedding. As family and friends were sitting in the church, this is when I noticed that I was not only marrying this Mexican guy, but I was marrying two other girls as well. Catastrophe broke out as we all realize we are not getting married. I was the only one to walk down the aisle and apologize to our family and friends for wasting their time.

We took a bus from Maryland or Delaware to another part of the state. Once we began to arrive, I noticed on the floor painted signs saying things like “this way to Uganda” and I asked aloud, “We’re this close to Uganda?” but someone assured me that we were close to the airport to Uganda.

We go on a school trip somewhere, with the high school. Then when we get back I get locked in my old havre de grace high school. All of my things are there, not just things I brought on the trip, but everything I own. The entire time I seemed to be in some type of struggle, but I didn’t seem to be trying very hard to get out either.
