I've been having a series of dreams recently that have brought back a cast of pretty much all the people in my life I've had some kind of negative dealing with. An old roommate, a guy from college, guy from my old old job, etc. In one dream, I'd somehow decided to sign on for an apartment wherein I would be living with them all, in one house, for a year, without the option to leave. The entire dream was me moving from one encounter to the other, beaming out enthusiasm, trying to make things work, and it becoming clear that we just didn't like each other. The first dream ended with me thinking, "Wow this was probably not a very good idea to get this apartment."
The second dream, I had last night. I had decided to throw a party, somehow, it was like, an insanely large festival of some kind, under an outdoor tent. It went pretty well until I sat down to eat something, at which point I was right across from that old roommate, and we struggled through a conversation until I left. I had a six-pack of Sam Adams somehow inside of my coat, from which I would remove one beer, crack it open, and look at it, only to realize it was something far shittier, like a Coors. I remember drinking at least two of these during the unspectacular, awkward exchange.
Then, I was in a college classroom, in the middle of a test on... I cannot recall, but it was something out of history. On the right side of the room, a Godzilla movie was playing. Both of these things were happening at the same time, like they'd decided to put on the movie as background noise for the test. For the next like, I shit you not, ten solid minutes of dream, I shifted my attention between this scatterbrained Godzilla movie, and this test in front of me, whose answers I vaguely knew and could guess at, but in no way was confident to answer. In essence, I was sitting there inventing a fiction in my head that MIGHT be the right historical event, then writing that down.
The dream ended when I got stuck on one question and wished to GOD I was anywhere but where I was. Suddenly, I woke up. My first thought was "Oh! Cool!"
