A dream about exclusive parties
Feb. 19th, 2022 11:49 amI was woken from a dream probably inspired by past and upcoming events.
Myself and a bunch of friends, acquaintances, and strangers had been invited to a sort of fancy themed dinner party experience. After an initial welcome and mingle we followed previous instructions (from the invitation) to go elsewhere in the building, have a seat, and remain seated until someone came to get us. As we dispersed people ended up choosing various different rooms as the right place to wait based on what they had been told and their interpretation of the instruction.
I ended up in a room with one other person. A real person who I know and can picture but can't recall their name at the moment. The room was a mix between a lounge, library, and classroom, focused on organic chemistry. We ended up seated near some books to read and looking out a window onto an adjacent park. Strong college building and grounds vibes.
After a while of chatting and reading, we started to see people from the party exiting the building into the park with food. The people were also discovering interactive installations in the park that were previously not visible to us (this part didn't make sense; dream magic).
After half an hour of this we were getting worried that we wouldn't ever be invited out to the rest of the event. Maybe we had been forgotten. Maybe we weren't welcome. Maybe there was an intentional filter of only people who broke the rules in the instructions being able to continue.
We got the attention of someone outside the room, a woman in a vintage flight attendant uniform. We tried to explain the situation but she didn't understand and kept trying to get us to bring food up to her from the party, since she was working her post in the hallway and couldn't leave. The other person and I started debating who should get up to go check, and in addition to my worry about the instructions I also pointed out that there was a cat in my lap preventing me from getting up.
This is where I woke up. This dream says a lot about my experience of events like the one I'm going to later today, and is an entirely plausible chain of events except for the dream magic bit.
