Dream

I just had a weird dream and actually remember it so I thought I would write it down.

So it started that I was meeting up with my FHE group. However, we were meeting up by Scouter's Mountain in Happy Valley. Anyways, not that many people showed up, but when we had like six of our FHE people and some other people like Kyla and Katie and Amy and Derya and Loren someone is like "we better get going." I agreed and we started heading out to Philidelphia! Haha.

Once we got there we went to a movie/play of a Shakespeare piece. It was in a movie theatre, but people would come out of the screen like six feet towards us. It was done in an elaborate Baz Luhrrman style. It was like a three-d movie but without the glasses...very strange. Anyways, we watch it and its really good. It's really funny in parts and really sad in parts. Sometime towards the end I get a text from my dad. I read it and it just says "How are you?" or something like that. I decide to answer it later and put my phone back in my pocket. Then for some reason I start drawing on the back of the seats with a pen. I drew the whole world (like a map) in a quick sketch and then say to Derya "look" and I circle Canada and Turkey and some of us laugh a little.
A few minutes later a theatre usher comes up to me and says that there was a complaint about us, specifically me. I look confused and ask why. At this point, derya was covering my drawing with her legs. He said that an older couple was very offended that I had opened my phone during the performance or showing of the movie or play, whatever it was. They said they saw the blue light of my screen. He said that they also said we were laughing the whole time and it wasn't appropriate to do so. They would have said something to me themselves but they were intimiated by me and were afraid I would hurt them and their mother.

I was so confused, but I said sorry and said it wouldn't happen again. Then Loren and Derya and Katie all ask me why the usher came to talk to me and I told them. They thought it was funny and laughed. Then a few minutes another employee came to talk to me. He looked more important than the first guy. He handed me a form that he said that I had to fill out after the performance because of the complaints against me. Shortly, the whole thing ended. I had no idea how it ended becuase of this drama, but I think I still liked it. I filled out the form and at the bottom it said I needed to exit out the main entrance and turn in the form and have them take my picture so I wouldn't be allowed in this Philidelpia theatre ever again. I decided that was dumb so I went out the side exit. It was raining. Also, like 5 times between standing up and getting to the parking lot I realized that I was just hopping on one foot instead of using my crutches. In fact, I kept leaving my crutches behind and I had to hop back to get them.

Once I got to the parking lot I started to play on my crutches. I was going really fast and then I decided to try and walk without putting either of my legs on the ground and just use the crutches. I did it for an entire length of the parking lot. This is when I started realizing that it was a dream (haha, yeah, just now). Then I doubled back to get to the car and I was still just using my crutches, except I was twirling in circles too! Then right before opening the car door....I woke up. THE END
