In my first dream, I went to [Michaels Arts and Crafts], looking for something specific without luck. A bunch of framed prints were sold near the front, so I had a look. I asked a passing employee a question, but in response, she said and did something rude [I am not easily offended]. She was also on her cellphone as I spoke to her. We began yelling at each other in an argument until I demanded to see a manager.

A supervisor came along because this girl began crying and begging. The supervisor tried to contain the problem, but I was adamant at escalating. I told him I understand they were understaffed, but this brat's attitude was a problem. When I talked to her manager, I learned a little bit about the sobbing brat, and developed some compassion, trying to be nice. She was leaving work early because of this incident and was waiting for her ride home at some tables near the back of the store. I sat by her, noting she was going to the University of Waterloo. I asked her, "what program?" and told her I'm an alumni.

In my second dream, I met with Honeycrisp at a retail store Grannysmith worked. There were a rack of coats at the front, because it was cold outside. I removed the one I wore, and we both tried one on, ran out the door, and continued running until we were breathless. Grannysmith met us a couple of minutes later. She didn't have a coat on. I asked her to go back and wear my old one, as she wouldn't be flagged for stealing a coat they didn't sell.

We met at a sushi place with Grannysmith, one of our old coworkers (who switched from the deli department to the front end), and an old artist friend of mine from high school. The restaurant was packed. I slid into the booth beside Honeycrisp. As I looked at the menu, Grannysmith an our coworker ordered a plate of maki for the table. I missed it because I was focused on finding something I felt like eating. I noticed a server showing the owner a glass of ice near their ice dispenser. The ice tumbled out with a tinge of blue. I overheard the server saying the ice may be contaminated, but the people in the restaurant didn't care and still wanted ice.

I didn't want ice after that.

I visited the store. Many things changed. My vegan supervisor became a police officer and she collected donations at the entrance. I apologized to her, for not saying goodbye when I had quit the store.


In my second dream, I took some friends around Toronto, spending most of my time with Shortbread and her sister. We took the PATH underground, which was, at this time of day, abandoned. It had a different appearance than usual.

We stopped at a chocolate shop. I wanted to treat my taste buds to something, but I couldn't decide. The sales lady asked what did I feel like having, and I said, "salty, but sweet." She gave me a 1" x 2" rectangle that may've been salted caramel, and after entering the cost, the chip'n'pin machine. Not entirely sure what screen I was on, I entered $100.00 when prompted for an amount. The lady replied, "no, no, no," and it ejected five $100 bills. The last bill was for 100 rupees, which I handed to her, as I didn't know what to do with it.

It was time for my friends to leave, so we surfaced the PATH at Dundas Square. Saying goodbyes, I watched my friends gather in a bus driven by an overweight woman.
