Thena

Oh, hey, I'm back! This dream was so long and detailed that I had to share.

It was early in the morning, and Dad and I were driving in his new car. He made a stop to pick up some woman, and I realized that I was now tagging along on their date! I also had to give up my front passenger seat and move to the back seat. I noticed as I moved into the back seat that I was wearing a really fitted leather jacket, something I've never had before. Dad dropped me off at a shopping center that the locals call Four Corners. Somehow, I lost my leather jacket once leaving the car, so I dropped into a clothing store to see if I could get a replacement. When they didn't have anything useful, I went to the next store. It turned out to be a grocery store I worked at before, but it was staffed with people from my current job. I knew something was a little off, repeatedly telling myself, "My shift doesn't start until 4 in the afternoon." (Talk about carrying over intentions into the dream state -- I really am scheduled to work 4 PM until close today!) I worried for a while about finding Dad to take me home in time for me to get ready for my shift in the afternoon. I hung out in the backroom with my coworker Kay, who was monitoring several computers. At one point, she got worried about something on one of the computer displays. A guy stopped by to take a look, and I talked to him for a bit before realizing he was Jay, the new head manager. I decided to leave, but I made sure to take a walkie-talkie with me since they're tougher to find when I come in for the evening shift.

I remembered that there was another good clothing shop at the far end of the strip mall on this corner, so I started walking towards it. But there was construction work in the parking lot and the construction crew would not let me pass. I crossed the street, thinking I could get past the blockage from that side. Instead of taking me to the other half of the strip mall, the other side of the street took my right to my house, with my (old) car sitting in the driveway. It was a little odd, especially since I was approaching the house from opposite side away from the main street. But I ignored the odd feeling because I was so glad I wouldn't have to find Dad to bring me home now that I had access to my own car.

I went into the house, but instead of the normal interior, there was now the lobby of a large apartment building. There were people meeting there to plan some type of heist. They wanted me to join them. I went up to my room to grab a larger bag and filled it with things we would need to carry out the plot. When I returned to the lobby, the group was being loaded onto buses. We were told that the place was being evacuated because of a bomb threat. I realized as we left the building to get on the bus that we were in the Four Corners parking lot. On the bus, I went through my bag to get the walkie I had grabbed earlier, but instead I found my bag filled with cash. There was a teenage boy sitting in the seat in front of me who noticed the cash, and he asked if I was trying to buy something. I said no, and he turned around to talk to someone else. That's when I realized he was in the middle of a transaction -- the other guy was giving him money in exchange for a small baggie.
