Three Dream Sequences and One Faded Memory

[pardon any grammatical errors...This is copied directly from the .txt file I wrote it in this morning.]

Me and Tabitha were driving to Muncie to see Beth. Tabitha was just along for the drive...to keep me company. On the drive up, I did my best to get ahold of beth by calling her on my cell phone, but every time I called, I would get a busy signal, or I would almost crash because I wasn't paying attention to the road. It seems like the drive lasted the whole 2 1/2 hours it takes to get up there.

When I arrived in Muncie, it was just me in the car. When I got on the off ramp from the interstate, all the directions I know now, were reversed. Instead of turning right off the ramp, I knew I had to turn left.

I got to Beth's and was able to get inside without anyone letting me in. The house itself looked more like Dallas' house with steps that greet you right as you come through the door. While in there, I realized that it's like 8 o'clock in the morning, and I have to be at work in a few hours...So I need to keep this visit quick.

I yelled for Beth, and someone appeared behind me suddenly. It was a young girl...late teens, early 20s...she had short brown curly hair. REALLY curly, like a tight perm. Her reactions were kind of creepy as she just sat there and stared just to the side of me. I told her "I'm not a burglar, I'm just looking for Beth."

RIGHT when I yelled "Beth" again I heard rustling behind me...The direction I was facing before the brown-haired girl appeared...and Beth surfaces from the kitchen. Her face was all red, as were her eyes, and she was extremely puffy. I want to think that she had dark blue rings around her eyes as well. She told me that she had stayed up all night talking with some guy and his kid. The kid fell asleep, so they were just up all night by themselves. She said "he's out front in his truck if you want to see him."

I looked outside, and the guy appeared to be an older lad...About mid-late 30's with a Burt Reynolds appearance. The hair, the moustache...

Parts after this are a bit fuzzy...

-I remember telling Beth I have to get to work, and heading back home. Tabitha was back in the car with me again. I don't know where she went, or where she came from.

-Tabitha and I felt like we needed to get alcohol at some point. We stopped at a shopping center type thing that consisted of two stores. The one on the left was an car parts shop (kinda like Pep Boys, or Auto-Zone), and the other was a HUGE liquor outlet. The buildings were roughly the same size, with the same designs on the walls, except a few disinguishing ones to let people know which store is which. On top of the buildings, they had orange christmas light going all the way around the building. One was darker orange, while the other was a lighter orange.

-This next one was before my Beth dream.

I had bought a jeep cherokee because I was tired of my other car, and the price was right. (this entire dream focused around the concept of money, and how it runs everything...capitalism.) The guy that sold me the car got really drunk one night and was so excited that I bought it from him, so he gave me DOUBLE my money back just because he was so happy.

At the time, I remember thinking "Is this car possessed or haunted or something?" Why I didn't just assume there was something mechanically wrong with it, I don't know.

I went into a shopping center that kind of resembles the grocery store just up the road from me, but they had items like you'd find at a wal mart or something...The inside was opened up like a wal mart or meijer.

While I was in there, I had some weird thoughts...Visuals that really stick with me...I was a small child, and I was playing in a field with two GIANT hills locking me in. kind of like a small valley. All I had in the field to play with was a slide. The memories are very shady, and very gray...I can't recall them that well.

Anyway, I approached this lady with my planned purchases, but she was taking every other customer but me. I figure I had enough time, so I went out into my car and counted my money. I can see why I did this because I really hate counting my money in front of people...especially if I have a lot in my wallet. Since I had just got something like 2000 dollars from that one guy in cold hard cash, I had to count my money in private. When I went back inside, the lady no longer occupied a check-out lane, but she was at a jewelry counter.

After that moment, I can't really distinguish between the money dream, and the beth dream.

There was another dream where I was at Olive Garden but it was a real fancy restaurant, and every person I served was being really difficult, or a total jackass. Not that magnificent of a dream, but I recall it anyway. I was serving a table of four. two guys and their respective girlfriends. The host of the group asked me if it would be okay if they paid part in cash, and the rest in credit. I told him yes. ...the only reason I can think of this as being interesting is that this is the only payment combination I have yet to receive. I have to work tonight, so I'll see if it comes up.
