Chinese restaurant, vacation, Volcanic eruption

Date: 1/1/2017

Im at some market that has rows of different chinese vendors and stores. they all look like the inside of convenience stores but in different sections, selling varied things. I keep passing by them tempted to buy something. im with my family and my mom tells me i dont need to buy anything but at the last shop i just grab a basket and try to find some sesame ball things i love. this store has a weird kind but i really want the sesame ball and i cant find it, the line to the cashier is really long too so i give up. then we go to a restaurant im alone this time. this building has very organic walls and "windows" that you can look out of but all you see is another buildings wall. supposably half of the building was over water too. two groups infront of me are seated and i tell the waiter that im alone. they seat me at a table for two with someone else cause they know itll get packed soon. i talk to this lady that idk why i come here, im never satisfied with the food because i dont really like anything on the menu. some other lady next to me says why am i even here then, and gets up to leave and i say that the service is very nice. she sits back down and points out something above my head, its somekind of metal decoration shaped like 💠 but kind of rusted and it has a geometric pattern weaving together. she says that it has some meaning but can remember. she calls the waiter and asks about it, and he explains the story that they put it infront of an eastern facing window to ward off a bad spirit that keeps disturbing them (he explained more about this spirit or creature but i cant remember this story.) ------------------------ Im visiting family who lives in a huge house, we put our outside jackets on the dining room table and sit in the livingroom. i went upstairs to get something, i go down again and grab my jacket, i go outside and i see my drawing tablet there, i always put it in the grass. its normal in my dream. but this time the tablet pen is sticking into the tablet. i get closer and theres scratches all over it. i assume my brothers friends did it. but i have to go shopping for christmas dinner so i contemplate whether to waklm or use my bike. some family members are hanging out infront of the house and i ask one what nutmeg is in japanese cause im going to the store. he says something that sounds japanese and i take note and go. i decide bike even though the place is very hilly. but my bike is basically a shopping cart for some reason. i put it back to where all the bikes are left and a guy smoking is there, helooks dangerous but i know him so hes friendly with me. i say that these bikes suck and leave on foot. the place is kind of farm like, and i go down a trail with some newly placed hand bar things so its safe im suddenly at the store now with my real dad and were trying to find some things for christmas dinner, i look out of the store window and theres orange lightning on this mountain really close to us. the lightning gets intense and then the mountain erupts. the lava comes down quite fast so we're panicking, we go to the car and my real family is in it, my brother is in so much panic he goes to the drivers seat even though hes 13, my dad is fondling his keys trying to find the right one, he does and my brother just drives while my mom presses the pedals, we try to go to the house because its very high up the ground but we see some family members running down weird parts of the hill telling us to floor it. as we drive we see ash falling down onto the snow. my brother makes very close and almost crashing turns but finally my mom takes over and we reach a part of town i dreampt of before. it had very clean looking ocean water, it was asmall cape, with little food bars you could wuickly eat snd go at. noone seemed to be in panic so we stop at some gas station threre. we see some family members there and were so happy, now my family isnt my real family but i consider themso. the man behind the counter tells my older brother to take his pants off since he has no money and so he does. we sit in the back of the store onna ledge, nowhere to go to. the brother gets arrested for public nudity and i argue that he was forced to take his pants off by the owner of this place. he still gets taken away to some room in the building. i sit back down and one girl has a kitten in her lap, i set up a bed for the kitten to sleep in. now we all head outside to see the sky and my baby sister is a little behind so i call her name, my own name, and realize i dont know this little girls name. i dont want to ask either cause who asks what their own sisters name is, shes like 3 years old too. now im at some cool mall. me and my boyfriend are walking down this hall with a bunch of pokemon things where you can pose and take pictures. i tell him to stand there since hes the one visiting and he needs lots of pictures here. he makes some dumb poses that make me laugh, especially at this team rocket one. at each thing i cant really take a picture of all the stuff on the wall and him with the largeee cutouts. i just wing it and we reach a different section for powerrangers. theres place where you can create your own custom weapon and lore with cards and stuff so we try that, he makes one that sounds really cool, i try to but the pack i got was mixed up wrong like someone didnt know what to do and messed it up. this person behind me kept taking cards out of her pack and putting it on the table with cards you were supposed to put into the pack for a personalized look. i just give up now and we leave, theres a part with some cats in separate containers so i organize it so they can be in a bigger area and play with eachother instead.
