over the edge

I was in my bed and filled with anxiety gripping the sides of the bed. I noticed that the bed was on a rooftop of a very tall building with the side of the bed leading to the edge of the building so that if I rolled out I would roll over a hundred stories. instead of getting out of bed I clung to it anxiety filled. I was supposed to go on an online date and s new I was planning to meet up with him later. he was an electrical worker and immediately started kissing my face. I was embarrassed because he was unattractive and the date had just started. I told him that I thought we were just better as friends. he got angry and started pacing back and forth so that I got scared of him. I told him I was willing to give t a chance and we went down the subway steps. I woman asked me if I spoke Spanish but then her Spanish didn't make any sense. several other passengers leaned towards her to try to understand but no one could. we got on the train and I questioned my date if we were really going in the right direction. he seemed unsure but insisted. I realized I was going to be late for a plan I wasn't sure of. I started to get upset and couldn't figure out where I was.
