I haven’t been able to sleep the last couple nights .. just wouldn’t shut down… so I took some more Benadryl last night and had a pretty crazy dream… very vivid .. I still remember all of it.
So the dream..
Jon was with me and I was going to see someone I knew in their dorm in college… it was Candi but she wasn’t there and no one had seen her. The dorms where weird.. like inside white cabinets above a hallway and then there was another hallway behind that.. some kind of optimum space saving kind thing. So to get to the rooms you’d have to crawl up inside the cabinets and then back in to the hallway.. but that looked way too hard so I just called out in to the cabinet to see if anyone was there.
This girl answered my call .. Jon said something about her being middle eastern and she quickly corrected that she was Scandinavian. She told me her name but it was pretty hard to understand and that came up later. She had a friend with her and I never got her name.
This girl confirmed that Candi wasn’t around and no one had seen her… so whatever… not the first or last time that’s happened I thought. Then this girl started writing something down which I thought was weird .. I asked what it was and she said it was stuff about me… that she wanted to remember me… so that was nice.
Then Jon and I were hungry and we were going to Applebees… but.. oh ya.. we were in Urbana.. so I said we should go to Chedders instead, cuz it’s way better. Those 2 girls were still there and the other kinda liked Jon so I asked them if they wanted to go and they did.
So we went out and ended up hanging around afterward. It seemed we had a lot of in common and were pretty affectionate from there on out.
Time kinda went on and I was in a dorm.. not a weird cabinet dorm.. and actually it was exactly like the room I’d stay in at my grandparents old house (the blue room for those in the know).. but you’d walk out of that room and end up with some showers down the hall.. so I went and took a shower.. came back to get dressed and this girl’s stuff was on my bed, but she wasn’t there. Somehow I still didn’t get her name so I went to look at her license.
Turned out that her bag was filled with bank documents, credit card statements, social security stuff, and all sorts of other information of mine.. and because in my dream that Sabrina knew me and somehow knew her (through school I think), a bunch of stuff from her.
So Sabrina walks in on me basically going through this girls stuff.. but it was because I wanted to know how to spell her name properly… but she flips out, but then I show her what I found.. and she’s shocked and mad.. not at me anymore.
The documents had more stuff on this girl too… that her name wasn’t close to what she’d told me. And while she was descended from Scandinavians, she was a mutt American just like the rest of us. So this girl’s last name ended with a “is” or some kinda sound like that, but from the documents there was that part in the middle, but
ended with something like and “ee” sound.
So then this girl walks in on both Sabrina and I going through all this stuff… we find a ton of shit.. quite a lot of fraud… and stuff that was defrauding even my dad… so it was all bad. Sabrina and I confronted her and she admitted to all of it… but with an ease like we really had nothing on her.
So.. it came down to this girl faking affection for me so as to defraud me, my family, and people that knew me… which would be all sorts of “shame on her” if this WASN’T ALL IN MY HEAD…
This all can be explained from real life of course.. shit I’m going through.. the Candi thing is she’s been busy with stuff and disappears for days.. weeks.. until someone hears from her again. It’s her life and I can’t be mad about it, but it’s annoying to give people ‘another chance’ and then they disappear… reminding you of why ‘chances’ should be in 1s and 2s.. but w/e .. old news.. yet it still is an underpinning of my dreams.
School and Urbana fit together in my mind.. dorms that are sterile and tight and confining and worse yet shared with everyone else.. communal showers.. the horror.. I hated the idea of dorms and they scare me still.
The chick feigning interest in me seems to happen quite a lot.. maybe it’s just people being nice.. or what they think is nice anyway… but it’s annoying.. people should just not talk to me if they don’t really want to know me.. better for everyone involved. And it really screws with me. I know I’m not exactly normal when it comes to approaching .. well.. life in general.. I know that.. no shit… but if past experience should help dictate future behavior (we here at Me Myself and I, Inc like to call this LEARNING) then people doing this to me over and over really screws up my human relation compass..
… like last night.. pretty sure this girl I never met before wanted to talk but I blew her off at first… Adam went in to this big spiel about how I was “doing it wrong” after I told him it’s hard for me to take people I meet on happenstance seriously and have any kind of normal conversation… he thought I meant I was being shy.. so he told me just to think I’m better than them.. which.. well I do.. but that’s not deal anyway.. superiority isn’t the problem, it’s intent… their intent.. it’s what do they want to from me? I’m confident and secure in myself as all hell.. and it really, honestly, doesn’t make any difference to me what some random chick at the bar thinks of me or anyone or anything at all for that matter.. I just don’t care about them. But.. for some reason they want to know about me.. so.. I start in on it.. and then that’s it… I guess.. or something… topic was “where did you go to school and what did you study”… well we talked about her and then me.. her in depth and me briefly (which is something I’ve been trying to do.. less is more with people that are not me I think) .. and then that was it.. I bought her a shot later.. and Andy too.. and she thanked me.. twice… and nothin else.. went to go talk to the Mexicans. Intent there I wonder? Just fucking around.. making conversation… being “nice”.. so.. in the end.. I should have just gone with my first reaction.. leave me alone.
Because.. and I firmly believe this.. even though I don’t want to.. but it keeps hitting me in the face… adding more people to your life takes away a little more from your own life.. and some people are just NOT worth it.
so.. that’s awesome… I’m nuts.. and socially broken… and I reaffirm that in my dreams… no matter how well they start out they always end up in a bad situation of fear and anxiety… lovely huh?
