party

Date: 8/12/2018

my parents were hosting a party at our old house in London where everyone I work with was invited. the twist is that it wasn't actually our house, I recognized all the furniture and the rooms but it seemed as if everything had been changed around since I lived there -even though I'd never actually lived in that house in my dream. I arrived late after my mum had already started to set up and guests had started to arrive. I saw a couple of colleagues, one of which was Joe, someone I had been seeing over the past few months in a seemingly on and off fashion. he was looking through baby pictures of me on the notice board while I spoke to an employee at house. it turned out my parents had hired a girl to do the cleaning and serve her guests, so I decided to do a little exploring. upstairs there were 3 bedrooms, not including my parents. one of them had been converted from a normal bedroom into a dorm room with three sets of bunk beds which were all empty and another, my old room, also had three sets of bunk beds with a group of south East Asian girls doing their hair and makeup. in the third room, which also felt like my room, there was a man who was alone in the single room but he left for the first due to the noise from the music downstairs. I left the party and ran into a friend of mine in the street and convinced her to come home with me to join the party. she agreed, we got on the train to Hackney but ended up missing our stop three times.
