In the beginning of the dream my friend Hayley and I were in the back seat of a car driven by some guy I can’t remember. We were supposed to be going to see the second movie in a (made up) series, so I was going to invite my mom, her friend, and my other friend Anna to see it with us until my other other friend Leslie (who has beef with Anna and is generally a little annoying) tapped on the car window to ask what we were doing. Hayley told her we were going to go to some thrift stores in Mobile and started listing some off. Leslie proceeds to get in the car uninvited as her mother drives away, and I think we all just drive back to campus then since the group plans wouldn’t go over anymore. We get back, I’m pissy because I wanted to see a movie, so I take myself to a theater and pick a different one to see. At the point the movie begins, I’m the main character - aware of what’s going to happen - but I’m seeing most everything through an outside perspective as if I were actually watching the movie for the first time. In the beginning everyone’s getting on these elevators, so my character gets on one as well. They’re all glass elevators, so inside I glance over to the elevator right beside mine where many people are kind of crammed and they all carried some kind of FedEx package, and I notice one girl who looks especially grumpy at being touched by people or something. Anyways, my elevator (which I’m alone in) starts speeding up and passes the mail guys’. At some point I realize that the elevator isn’t even in a building anymore, it’s just hurtling towards the sky, so I grab these handles on the wall behind me as the effects of gravity lessen with the altitude (which doesn’t make sense because I can see the earth and sky clearly as the elevator turns) and my feet come off the floor. The next thing I know the character is flopping onto a bed with a guy at his laptop in 2005 and talking to him as if she’d just gone to the bathroom am come back. That’s all I really remember.
