It took forever for me to fall asleep. About 1.5 hours. Then I was up almost every hour. The first time I woke up I had this dream where this pop up hot dog stand came down my old friends block. The stand was in the shape of a hot dog and it was on wheels. Everyone freaked out because the hot dogs were amazing. I’ve never been to that place So I don’t know if they are that famous. I didn’t have any money but I asked my friend for a $1 which is what they cost. She gave me $2 and the line for the stand was down the block. I bribed this guy in front of a couple people with one of my $1 and he let me cut in front. The lady of the stand, an older frumpy looking lady with gray hair thought my gesture was so nice she asked if there was anything she could do. I said “yeah let me buy the hot dog without an ID. You needed an ID to buy them for some reason. She said “sorry I can’t do that.” So I left. I don’t know why I didn’t give the guy in back of me the other $1 so he could get me one. Then I was watching my friends eat hot dogs and I was disappointed until my mom came up the street with my wallet and we were able to get the hot dogs and some vanilla ice cream as well. I woke up really wanting a milk shake from Sonic.
Then I had another dream where I was at some store that sold groceries but it had these metal wall signs hanging on the walls. I found a bunch of old Mountain Dew ones for different flavors. I found one for Supernova and one for Cyclone. We asked the guy to get them down. 3 people worked at the store. A lady in her mid 30’s maybe. A man in his 40’s and then the manager was an older guy in his 60’s. The lady was ringing up the signs but they accidentally put in one that said country of Kentucky. And she looked at her computer and found out that 2 of the signs were missing by mistake. and we had gotten the Kentucky One instead of the supernova and cyclone ones. So the guy had to take the right ones down. He got the right ones down and they were 50 cents each. But we had trouble paying because she couldn’t get the lock box with the money open. And you needed a scanner to open it. The lady was getting frustrated and said “you guys have caused enough trouble!” So she had to get the manager over to open the box. I had a sudden craving for Denny’s or a nacho fries box from Taco Bell. I had seen some big rolls of stuffed cheesy bread in one of the rooms. But they were $5 which I thought was too much money. The manager got the box open. The box was a black lunch box. And the lady asked how I liked working at Nordstrom Rack. Even though I’ve never worked there in my life. Finally we paid and left. And the floor had suddenly turned to sand. And I had somehow lost my brown Birkenstock sandals I had been wearing.
I woke up half an hour ago thinking wtf just happened. I have vivid dreams but those are beyond vivid. I was asleep 6 hours after waking up twice.
