I was entering a stadium, like an arena with my friend Risa and her boyfriend Josh. We had our tickets and found our seats, but we didn't fully know what the show was going to be about. As the show was starting, we knew that it was going to be alternative and the seats were sparsely filled. There were some kids around, so we wondered if it was something to do with a kids show, but it was more artistic than that. The show started and Josh left and Risa and I were sat. She was a couple seats over from me and I asked her where Josh went. Maybe out for a smoke. As the show started, it was really different and interactive, almost like a participation game. The host would ask questions and then actors in the audience would come by with beautiful cold drinks, but whether or not you took a drink was based on the answers to the questions. There was cold cream sodas, mixed drinks, cold tall cans of beer and many of them were decorated. I was placing the drinking I received on a small table beside me and I almost felt like there were too many, how am I going to both consume and enjoy so many great drinks when there are so many?? At one point we were offered tall and short cans of Coors Banquet and I looked around for Josh so we could split one. He came back shortly after and was psyched to see all the free beers coming at us lol. The whole time we were being offered these drinks I was aware of my self inflicted limitations, almost like I was thinking in real life. I thought, oh I wonder how much sugar is in this one, oh I'm not sure how much alcohol I want to drink, oh I wonder if I should share, or if I'm doing the game properly. These thoughts felt very akin to how I would think in waking life. None the less I was excited and happy. The show continued and there were small pieces of the show happening up behind us, in small corners, we went up the stairs to watch these scenes. One of them is like musicians playing music going along with a clip from Xena playing on a small TV. Josh, who was not invested in trying did not see the Xena clip, but when I told him, he was like uggghhh, that's my bread and butter, I love Xena. It's probably important to note here that in real life I like Josh and this kind of peppers into the dream. I'm always seeking him out and wanting to connect with him. Later on, our friend Dan joins us at the stadium and we are just walking around at this point. I'm curious if we need to be in our set seats to receive the beautiful drinks. I go up to someone who looks like they are in the production to ask and she is an older woman, maybe 60-65 and she has short salt and pepper hair and beautiful makeup. She looks like a vixen! She is wearing a deep purple power suit and as she is talking to us she walks forward and lets the suit jacket slip off, revealing a lace bra. My mom was there at this point for some reason and both of our jaws dropped. We were like omg, who is this older goddess??? but we were also laughing, it was obviously a piece of the show...kind of like an older variety show. She said it didn't matter where we were. Ok now Dan is here and the show has somehow moved into the parking lot and we are supposed to offer one personal item and take one personal item. I kind of like Dan too, but much less and I can feel my interest in the game leaving me. I'm not connecting with Dan as much and it feels like the magic of the show is dwindling. Dan and I make our offerings to a pile in the parking lot. The end.
