Dream Journal Ultimate

I was in a car with my mom and siblings heading to Grand Rapids, MI where my brother lives. I must've fallen asleep in the dream cos when I woke up we were seemingly in his town. I could tell because the scenery looked different from what I was used to. The trees were more varied and diverse and I saw more exotic forest wildlife too. I asked my bro if we were there already and he said yeah. Then my sister starts up a topic about us moving this summer and one of the ideas is to move closer to where my brother is. She has a kid though and father gets him on the weekends so it would be complicated trying to make a 2hr drive back to meet him and exchange every weekend. I suggested to her maybe they could meet in the middle somewhere so no one has to drive so long and she starts thinking about it. Time skips ahead and we're staying in someone's house. The reason we're here is for a very delayed funeral for my great grandmother that died in 2015. In reality we already had 2 for her. One in Alabama where she died and one here in Michigan for those who couldn't get out there. So here we are in 2019 having another one for some reason. My mom starts being a bit panicky and fusses alot when she's that way. It's her way of dealing with her anxiety. She's probably nervous about having to give a speech but it's not like she has to give one. It's Saturday morning and almost time for the funeral and everybody is getting ready. I need to shower but in the house's 3 full bathrooms, 2 of them are being used except the one in the room I'm in, but this bathroom is a mess. It's fairly big and there is a tub but no shower head. Also it's full of old junk. I dunno why the owner decided to use the tub as extra storage for his crap. I get that this room and bathroom was probably not ever used, but still, seems really silly. I get a call from Patsie, my grandmother's friend, but my social anxiety flares up when someone I haven't talked to before or in awhile calls and so I just ended up ignoring it. She called before in past dreams and I would ignore those too so by now I'm starting to feel bad. But then I figure she'll probably just call my mom since she likely just wants to hear how my grandmother is doing. My great grandmother appears in the bathroom alive and well and says she needs to take a shower and came in here but surprised at all the mess in the way. I'm surprised she's here but completely forget she's been dead for a few years. In fact my dreaming mind organizes my thoughts to believe that she came with us on the trip and we're not here for her funeral anymore but simply to visit my brother. The dream suddenly changes at that point and I'm in a dance room with a bunch of people I don't know and we're all dancing to some classic oldies Soul music. A couple of them I remember playing is "The Hustle" and "Pusherman," two pretty iconic songs from that era. I'm not the best dancer combined with having social anxiety, so I didn't really dance. But then I slowly started to feel more comfortable and began joining in. There were 2 hot girls I kept my eyes on all throughout, but one of them seemed to be occasionally looking at me flirtatiously. Eventually I actually began spontaneously dancing with her and had a blast. Afterwards I saw her still eyeing me from across the room although it did kinda look like she was looking past me, but finally I went over to ask her name and if she wanted to go out someplace later so I could get to know her better. She smiled but then got an awkward look on her face and told me that she appreciates my interest but she's actually more into girls and has been trying to get the attention of the other girl that I also had my eye on all night. I'm actually not disappointed she turned me down and proud of myself for doing this because I've never asked out a girl before in my life unfortunately. I've had one girlfriend during high school and a semi-relationship that was off and on in my adult life but that was it. Both times the girls pursued me. But anyway I told the girl sorry for the misunderstanding but then offered to help her talk to the other girl cos at the end of the day I just want everyone to be happy. She liked that and asked me if I could just tell the girl that she's been interested in her and wonders if she feels the same. I couldn't help but smile at how this took me back to grade school with how everybody was acting. Before I left I went back to the girl and got closer to her to tell her thank you because she was the first girl I ever asked out. I admitted that it's really hard for me because I'm so shy and I'm just glad I got to dance with her and even ask her out even if I got turned down. I almost cried at this point cos I really felt happy, then I took her hand and handshake/light caress before walking away. She seemed kinda blown away and in awe and I could tell she saw me differently after that. I woke up shortly thereafter still feeling quite good.
