An Overnight Stay And A Broken Elevator

Date: 6/9/2018

The dream first started off with me on an airplane. I was flying from Phoenix to Philadelphia to visit my best friend George, but the sad thing was I could only stay for the night. I couldn’t stay longer than that. So I went to Philadelphia, and was in George’s arms. ITT felt really good to be held and loved. He and I used to date in real life, but now we have gone back to best friends with benefits. I’m in a nonmonogamous relationship in real life. I realized that I do care about George, and I still wanted to explore with him, but was not in love with him, and even though it was hard on us both, we realized that friendship worked out better. I clearly remember being in his bed, and his arms around me, and him kissing me, but then it was the next day, and I was on a plane back to Phoenix. I remember being sad for the entire flight. I cried off and on, and was really sad I didn’t get more time with him. I took Uber to my apartment complex. I think the reason I couldn’t stay so long was because I needed to be back to take care of our German shepherd. In real life, I live in an apartment complex with my sister and her fiancé, and they rescued a German shepherd. I help take care of him in real life, so I think I had to be back to take care of him in the dream. So anyway, my sister was at work, her Fiancé works in a city about 3 hours north, and comes down when he can. So he’s working, and my sister is working, so it left me at home alone with the dog. I might have left to get groceries, or went out to get fresh air. I don’t know why, but I decided to go outside. In the dream, my apartment complex had an elevator. It doesn’t have that in real life. Some apartments are downstairs, while others you go up the staircase, but there aren’t elevators. But for some reason, in my dream, there was an elevator. Not for our apartment itself, but for another part of the complex which was nearby. Well, someone was in the elevator, and all of a sudden, it went down very quickly. I could hear the elevator, and the way the motor sounded when it was plummeting. The people inside screamed, they were terrified. Then it shot up really quickly, like a rocket. It was like the elivator had some kind of weird problem. Then it started plummeting again, but at a faster rate, and the scary thing was that I could see the elivator, and it looked like it was headed for my apartment. I quickly got in the grass to get out of its way. Finally they were able to get someone to take over control of the elevator, but waiting for someone to fix it seemed like it took forever.
