Dreamlog

Went to bed around 10:30PM.

Smashing Birthday:

I'm at my friend JM's birthday party. There is a long table setup in a restaurant.
The restaurant resembles one we were at during festivities from my girlfriend's sisters wedding.
I'm working on a tapestry that is inspired by Super Smash Bros as a gift for JM.
I go to sit at an open spot next to his left, but he tells me it is for his girlfriend BH.
The person on the right of JM scootches over to make room so that I can sit on JM's right.

New Old Car:

I'm driving through a nice looking community in a new car.
The car is older, but it is well kept. It smells like leather too.
There are clean-looking wood accents on the doors and console.
I'm driving to a parking garage for the community.
...
I'm in a main receiving area for the community. It resembles the lobby of a fancy hotel.
It is a large open space with a desk at the far end in front of me.
This place resembles the facility a character was infiltrating from the book, Neuromancer.
...
Later I'm leaving the parking structure and I wonder if the older car has high mileage.
I realize that I never checked it before buying it.
I start to wonder if I actually got a good deal or not.
I notice some smudges on the frontside passenger door's wood trim and I rub at them with my finger.
It mostly comes off.

Both recorded at 7:16AM.

247 words for the night.

This dream with the receiving area is interesting. I was recently wondering whether locations I visualize while reading would manifest in dreams or not.
The facility location indeed has, and while the theme and tone of the situation is entirely different from the book, it is still noteworthy.
