Dream a little dream

This always happens to me. When I least expect it, I get a long-winded, weird dream out of nowhere. For example, I've once dreamt that my left arm was cut off but still attached to my body somehow, I pulled it away for a little bit, and stared in fascination of the skin, muscle, bone in my arm. I walked around in a school-like building looking for the nurse's room. I found it, but it was protected by a security system. I found some bandages and taped my arm to my body. The end.

Stuff like that. One time I was trapped in a hotel room and there were fire outside. I was with another person and we couldn't get out. Finally this rescue chopper showed up outside our window and I thought we were going to be rescued. Then the scene suddenly changed to this huge train station with injured people lying everywhere, but I wasn't in that scene. Probably died.

So last night, I dreamed that I was in a downtown high school. I was there for a either a Chinese recital thing or KFed's concert. I went to a little store attached to the school to buy food. It was set up like Tim Horton's but it was selling Starbucks food. I talked to the guy at the register for a bit, and confirmed that there was a Subway nearby. So I went outside to look for the Subway. I found it, went in, and I thought it was empty until a Korean girl came out from under the counter. I wanted a meatball sandwich. She took out this huge poster paper with these circles drawn on them. She put the ingredients in each of the circle, smeared some sauce on them, and took them out to the back. I waited for a while, wanting to eat my sandwich, so I went to the back. Only to find she was sleeping by the wall in the alleyway, and my sandwich/poster was gone.

Then it suddenly changes. I was out with a guy and he said let's go get ice cream. I said sure. We got to this jewllery store-like ice cream shop, and started choosing. He said he wanted something vegetarian, and I wanted something chocolate. I saw one flavour called "black cherry chocolate konnyaku" and said to this haughty girl with the name tag "151912" that I wanted that flavour. She looked at me and asked if I was sure. I said of course. She said no. I said what do you mean? And she just waved her hand at me and totally dissed me. I got really mad and raised my voice. I said I cannot stand her attitude, and if I could talk to her manager, please. She just rolled her eyes at me and left. This other girl came out of nowhere, I explained to her what happened, and she took me to this bystanding girl who is super short, and the super short girl apologized to me, saying that 151912 has always been like this. I was confused as to why wasn't 151912 apologizing to me. But I left anyway, with the guy still by my side. As we were leaving, I took out some sandwiches from my backpack and threw them in the garbage, and I turned around and said to the guy, "I'm pregnant, can you tell?"

Then I woke up.

Damn.
