Don’t remember the entire dream but I was working in my office and I had a huge shelf of Starbucks cups and stuff. I was sitting there and there were different undergraduate students there who were walking around in and out of the office who I was speaking with and getting to know them to help them. And there was a few kids who left and came back to the room and said “oh, the Zovkic lab has a key to your office” and I was like “what? Why do they have that? We don’t have one to theirs…. Why do they have one to ours? Who’s holding the key?” And I kept asking questions and the kid just looked confused the entire time. There was also like office hours or something happening because there was a line up to go to one of the other offices down the hall. One of the kids left my room and I thought he took one of my cups - turns out it was still there I had just miscounted. I’m standing and putting things away in my office and there’s a girl who’s sitting at my chair, I don’t know who she is IRL but in the dream she was a grad student like me form my lab. I was humming the song “call her right now” by Bayou and she started singing the song and then said something in Arabic. I looked at her and said “I have no idea what you just said but I’m not Arabic, I just like the song and have no idea what he’s saying ahahah”. She looked at me and laughed with me while I explained. Then, at some point, it was like a montage of all of the people coming in and out and working on random stuff in the office (like top down view from above Sandra’s desk). For some reason Wassim was there, but he was just a person part of the lab and we were like buddies. Then, at some point I went to go to sleep/take a nap and there was like a sleeping bag set up for all of the people in the lab. Something happened here that I can’t remember other than getting up and like making sure I don’t trip on anyone’s limbs. I don’t know why I was so mad, but I just upped and left and went outside. When I got outside, I was somehow at a random street side where someone left a bunch of random shopping carts in front of an exit from a parking lot. So since I was walking that way, I just decided to like re-merge the shopping carts and pull them to the side to make space for everyone. There was a white girl who saw me and started doing the same thing, making way for the cars and the ambulance that was there as well. I finished and kept walking down the street and I saw one of my “is a good kid but doesn’t stupid shit to look cool” undergraduate kids who was smoking, waiting for the bus with a bunch of people. I remember looking at him and asking him if he was going back to the lab, he said yes, and I remember asking him to do something for me when he got there and he eagerly said yes. I thanked him and continued walking and I felt a presence behind me. It was a white girl from before trying to steal my purse (hilarious, where did the purse come from idk) but I just looked at her and gave her a deadpan look. She tried to tug it out of my hands and I just stood there, calmly telling her to let go. She said “give me 20 dollars, I’m sure you have it” and was arguing with me, trying to take my stuff. I just kept holding on and saying “no”. And then she started yelling in Spanish and we were beside a house with a huge front yard to its side that was fenced off. The girl threatened to throw my stuff over the fence and the lady who’s house it was was saying “yo tengo un perro” and (this is the craziest thing, I knew exactly what she was saying because I’m studying Spanish and Duolingo) and I looked at her while finally pulling my purse free and saying “Tu tienes un perro? D’onde esta?” And I was genuinely excited to see this dog. It was a BIG ASS BLACK AND WHITE DOG - it was basically a wolf but I’m going to call it a dog. I basically stood there, being like “hay, muy bonito; tu es muy muy bonito” to the dog and he was so happy, wiggling his tail and letting me pet him. And then I woke up.
