The Auditorium

I had no recall over night. I only slept approximately 4 hours.
I took a midday nap. I fell to sleep in mantra. First I dreamt I was at SB’s house at a friend gathering. The layout was strange. TH (my husband) was in the shower. He broke the shower curtain and was asking for a friend to come help him because I’m too short. I went to retrieve said friend from the kitchen. There was a door to the kitchen. Someone locked it. TH stood on the other side, banging on it, repeating his own name in a grotesque manner. SF (our middle son 6yo) was terrified. Someone looked out of a window at TH and they too seemed terrified. My heart sank.
I woke and fell back to sleep again. TH and I were going to an event at the college. We sat in a large crowded auditorium. He sat with the students, I sat with the professors. Someone nearby had a boom box. We all danced. I was nervous, which is unusual, I like to dance even in crowded rooms. I wondered if TH was watching and if it made him happy to see me dance again. My side of the auditorium was dismissed. I couldn’t find TH. I went to the truck to wait for him. Inside the truck I found my middle school boyfriend, Matt. He responded as if we were together and he had been the person I attended the event with. I felt as if I was cheating but memories of my husband started to fade. I had the thought that I was only with Matt because I was lonely and I felt generally unhappy with the situation. I wanted to go home. I wanted to find TH. I asked him to take me home. The truck began moving but no one was driving. A blonde women with her hair in a bun and a dress on came to the window, she had the distinct look of an elementary school teacher. She spoke into a walkie-talkie, presumably notifying the police of our driverless vehicle. I hopped in the front seat and tried to drive. I’ve never been able to drive in my dreams. I ended up going the wrong way down a one way street. The city we were in was decorated with Christmas lights.
