This one is hard to remember. I remember clearly the middle, and vaguely the surrounding.

We had a new manager at work (no clue what his name was) and he was talking to myself and another manager, AF. This new manager had no qualms about talking about the fact that he wasn't the same as the rest of the humans who lived here on this planet. The concept was expressed as a number of "steps" beyond the regular, on a scale. He showed the scale (it was like a -5, -4, -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2.. etc type thing) and indicated he was from "6". I knew this meant he was advanced and from a distant world. AF said he was from "3", which was also advanced.

I smiled at them and said I always found it amazing how humans never wanted to talk about things that were different from normal topics. They didn't want to talk about how we were from elsewhere, they didn't want to know and couldn't understand. If they'd heard us, we'd be ridiculed. I looked at the scale, grinned, and pointed out that I was from -5. They were amazed. I said, "Yup. Very ancient. Old."

It made perfect sense at the time and felt very familiar, though I'm not sure how to express it in words now. The feeling was that while these two were advanced souls, I was a very old soul. They viewed this reveal as something amazing, something powerful. It was important to know. They were from alternate "heres", advanced and moved backwards. I was from ancient times in another place, not here, but choosing to come here.

(It's not the first time I've had a dream telling me I'm an old soul.)

Next, my memory begins with me seeing my friends BM and S walking through the hallway of S's new apartment, coming back from the indoor pool. As I saw them I thought it would be nice to go swimming. At that point, B wasn't there anymore and S was heading back to the pool, but she hadn't invited me (maybe she hadn't seen me). I decided to follow her.

Since the weather was so hot out, the pool was being used by many residents. People of all ages were going in and out of the pool area, some fully dressed and some in swimwear. I became aware that S had gone into a change room. I wasn't sure if I was allowed, so I didn't bother to go to a change room yet. I'd wait for S and ask.

I did enter the pool area though and looked around at all the people hanging out there and swimming. It wasn't as large as a public pool, but it was larger than the dinky little indoor pool R and I had recently seen at our hotel in Victoria. It was a decent size.

S came out of the change room and walked to the far side of the pool. I followed but as I did I saw what she was going towards. T (a friend of mine from work who S doesn't actually know IRL*) was over there, fully dressed, legs in the pool and chatting with people. For some reason, this was a bad thing. S got angry with T and I noticed someone who I immediately knew was the landlady of the building (even though I've never seen her IRL) was also there, not happy. She was threatening S (with what, I don't know) and chasing the two of them out of the pool area.

I caught up with them on the way out, trying to understand what was wrong and calm them down. Once we were out of the pool area S was gone and it was just T and I. I was trying to make T feel better (she felt bad about getting S upset) as we entered an elevator.

As we got in the elevator either someone else was already in it, or they walked in right after us. I can't remember much about what he looked like, but he was tall and well-built. T recognized him immediately. I can't remember exactly what was said at this point, but the jist was that she was seeing him as someone famous. He was quiet and just smiled at her but as we reached his floor and he got off he said something to her that was a direct quote from whatever fame he had. Then the door closed. She was thrilled and I told her I couldn't believe she'd said that to him. I said he likely just said that to humor her, but then when we got off on our floor there was someone else there who was associated to the famous person T thought the other guy was, and somehow it was clear that he really was this guy (so that other guy was likely really the famous person as well). At this point I really don't remember what type of "fame" they had. It didn't seem like "performer". It seemed kind of like super-hero somehow.

Things started to fade out then. I know there was more, but I wasn't fully aware of it before waking up to my alarm. I have vague glimpses of "safety", "rescue", "help", "search"... But I really can't put them together enough. I also get the sense that these glimpses are from a forgotten dream had prior to this one, but that the ones doing the "rescuing" in that one are the ones who become these two famous guys in this one. Fun!
