Long Dream

So I’ve been having a lot of dream lately where they’re super long and emotional rollercoasters. I havnt been remembering them which is untypical of me but I did with this one. I started out in a old rain Chicago at night. I was catching a game at Wrigly field with my dad and we decided to leave. We stepped out the door letting others sneak in. We walked down the dark street in the rain, stadium towering over us. The atmosphere here was incredible, but indescribable. The scene then switches to a ski area. I know there’s a zombie apocalypse going on, or something of the likes, maybe a virus killing every off? I’m tense and scared, but know I’m relatively safe here . My dad and I go for a ski tour, my memory of the landscape was super detailed but it’d take forever to describe the landscape. We summit a massive cornice, transition, and ski down. We get to the base and there’s a couple other cool people there touring, we say hi. I feel like my younger brother is there with us but I don’t see him anywhere. The scene switches again to outside a massive shop, think Costco but on steroids. I meet a group of people, someone has a big drone that we are going to tie into and hang from to steal things from the store. We tie in and start flying around the store. Some people try to jump after us to bring us down but no one succeeds. We actually end up not stealing anything because it was fun to mess with the people, or so the others thought. I was still paranoid and anxious about the apocalypse and didn’t want to be here. We eventually get tired of this foolery and leave. I say goodbye to the group outside the front entrance and begin to walk through the massive parking lot. I see one girl I know as an acquaintance and ask her where she’s going to college and then she asks me (I’m a senior in high school currently). Even though we were never friends, it’s still sad because we’re probably never going to see each other again. I say a sad but try to mask it with happy “Well,” I pause. “See ya around”. She says “see ya” in the same sad but fake happy tone, and we walk in our separate paths. I then run into another girl, an acquaintance who I’ve crushed on for most of highschool, but never got around to telling her that. I shot my shot with her but unfortunately didn’t get far. I say hey and we talk about college, etc. Feeling the end on the conversation I say again “Well,” I pause again for a while trying not to choke up, “See you later” but I mean say so much in that. I know she understood I was saying “it’s been good to know you” and “thanks”. She says longingly, “See ya Jack”. We walk our separate ways and I’m over come with emotions know this might be the last time I ever see her. I take one last look at her, noting how pretty she is. I wanna say she took one last look at me to make me feel better, but I’m not sure she did. I’m just so overcome with emotions that I break down crying in the parking lot. My alarm went off here, but it was one of those dreams where you felt the emotions after you woke up. Sad way to start the day.
