Two nights ago I dreamt that I was walking down a boardwalk and saw celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay interviewing a couple for some show he was doing. I walked farther down the boardwalk and saw him again, and this time asked him if I could take a picture with him. All of a sudden we're in a dining room in a house and I'm with 5 other people posing w/Gordon Ramsay and one of them is being difficult and we're taking a long time and I start to feel bad because we're wasting his time when he needed to work on his show and he's going "Oh my goodness" cause it's taking so long but he's being a good sport about it and we finally get a picture, and then the difficult person wants to find another celebrity and take a picture with him and Gordon Ramsay and at that point I'm like okay NO we're leaving.
Last night part of my dream was that I was involved in some embezzling scheme. The register's till is open, and a kid would flip a coin into the till and then I was supposed to hand them a large bill, like a $10 or a $20. It was my first day and I wasn't very good at it, and one kid said I should be fired.
part 1: I was in class but I get bored so I leave to go next door to a store. I decide that I am going to buy my brother a new tennis racquet, and this store is supposed to have some. I go inside and it's supercrowded, with clothes everywhere. Someone who looks like Questlove of The Roots comes to help me, and I tell him I'm looking for a new tennis racquet for my brother. And he pulls out several, but they're weird shaped (apparently for some variation of tennis I've never heard of), and I shake my head. Finally he pulls out a racquet but it's kind of old school and not fancy at all so I just shake my head. He puts it away and then starts showing me some clothes. I'm hesitant because I know I don't have any money but when I see that this gorgeous dress he's showing me is Dolce and Gabbana I figure it wouldn't hurt to try it on. I go into the fitting room and I don't actually try it on; I'm just looking at the price tag and it's over a thousand dollars and so I decide I can't afford it. I take everything back out and put it on the counter. The lady behind the counter and I talk, and I explain to her how gorgeous I think the D&G dress is but it's too expensive, and that I don't really wear jewelery so I don't want to buy any of it. she hands me a necklace/earring set, and I go, "Oh, I don't want to buy anything" and she says that it's a gift and so I take it. It's a gold chain with a blue-grey leaf design on it, it's really pretty and I'm glad that I got it as a gift. That's all I remember from this part of the dream.
part 2: I got this job at this place that's apparently in the middle of nowhere. I'm supposed to live in the office, it's a law job I guess. I meet my two co-workers, one of who is Scott Foley, and we're supposed to go to the cafeteria adjacent to our office for food but they've closed for the day because they ran out of food. We go back to the office and I'm unpacking, and the boss is telling me what I'm supposed to do, but it turns out it's illegal or immoral, and I tell him I can't do that (basically similar to the video we watched in Prof Resp two weeks ago), and he gets sad and apparently the business can't continue because I won't do whatever I was supposed to. And apparently Dorothy worked there and she lost her job too.
Scott Foley explained to me that there's a shortage of food because the economy's bad and so I ask him if I open a restaurant.. he says yes you would make a lot of money. Anyway because I lost the job I have to pack up and leave, and so my friends are coming over. Vincent and I are talking and I'm saying how I feel bad that Dorothy lost her job but that she was planning on looking for a new job so maybe this is a sign. My friends start taking everything from the apartment, even the things that are the boss's and not mine. I decide the boss won't care if I take the table (I guess it was a grey area who it really belonged to) but I told my friends that the piano is not mine. they also had one of those fishbowls that businesses could put their card in to win something and they open it by cutting the front becuase it's plastic, but I don't know if they ever drew a name or even what that person would have won. I then remember I have to get my turtle and I turn the corner and there are tons and tons of turtles everywhere, some sneak under the sofa and I'm trying to figure out how to get them out from under there and also where they all came from (in my dream my brother had told me that we had gotten another turtle making a total of two but there were almost twenty in my dream of all different sizes and some of them had humanesque eyes and faces which creeped me out) and then all of a sudden I realize that I'm already home so I don't have to move any of them and I'm quite relieved. I go outside and my dad is washing the car, and me and my brother need to run an errand for him but the only other vehicle is this small motorboat that is also a car I guess and we're sitting in it and we have to attach the steering wheel and the stick shift and I turn to my brother and ask him if we can even drive this thing on land legally and he doesn't know and so we get out to ask my dad and that's when I wake up.
crazy dream: Dorothy & I were somewhere and we had just pulled off a heist or something, we were both wearing white labcoats and running somewhere. I also had another white coat that was supposed to be another disguise as a professor or something, and I put that on. While running down a flight of stairs we hid our faces because there were some people going up the escalator that would recognize us. We get down the flight of stairs and run to a kiosk, where I think we were supposed to pick up/buy plane tickets. For some reason I have a ton of stuff scattered around the two tables on either side of the kiosk and furiously try to stuff everything into my bag. (Dorothy's disappeared at this point) Cut to me sitting at a bar with a mini wine glass half filled with something - I think it's beer, and I'm slowly sipping it. This guy comes up to me and sits next to me and asks me how much I've had to drink. I reply not much. He then tells me that I should turn myself in. I'm kind of nervous knowing that he knows (he was apparently someone I knew prior and I knew it was plausible that he would have figured out I was part of it), and I start crying. I explain to him that it's not that easy, because turning myself in would mean turning Dorothy in as well. He then tells me that if I had thought about it I would have known he was leading me on. We then passionately kiss for a little bit. Then cut to me back to furiously stuffing things into my bag, thinking I need to get back to the hotel room asap so I can stuff all of this stuff into my suitcase. It's at this point that I realize that I don't have my purse. I run back to where I remember having it last - an open-air food court. I'm running towards the back where I think I left it and on the way get sprayed by a fountain, whose bursts are controlled by buttons that patrons of the food court can push and this lady happened to push it right when I was running by, and she shouted an apology while I ran by but I didn't stop to respond. I find my purse next to a soda fountain, but to my horror I discover that it's empty - someone had stolen everything inside. I start freaking out, running around, trying to figure out what to do. I can't get into the hotel room, and I had no idea when my flight was and I couldn't call Dorothy to ask. I'm so panicked, and all the while worried that I might be recognized and caught. Finally I go back to the food court, and thankfully two employees were still there cleaning up and they had merely taken everything out of the purse and put it behind the counter for safekeeping. I immediately grab my phone - my old sony ericcson phone - and listen to a missed call from Dorothy. She had called at 4, saying that I had two options to get down to Newark... since my phone said it was 7:30pm, I figured she was on the plane and had left (esp. since in my dream Newark is a moderate driving distance from wherever we were and Dorothy was saying I had to take a plane), and I started wondering what I was supposed to do... </ dream>
