skating with an ex friend

Date: 12/12/2016

I was in a roller skating rink, but skating on the outside perimeter of the rink, not inside, where everyone else was. I was arm in arm with Cathy, an ex-friend, but we seemed friendly enough in my dream. We wanted to see how many rounds we could go with just one push. We went two full rounds. The third round was a bit slower and the fourth round was much slower. I cheated, because each time we came across a wall, I would push up against it with my hand or arm to give us more momentum to keep going. At about the fifth round, we had enough and stopped skating together. Soon after, the rink started emptying. I asked Joanie where was everyone—they all seemed to leave abruptly. She looked around too, and said, "Oh, shit, you're right." It was just us two in the rink. Scene changed and I'm in someone's home with different sections for each person. It had the feeling of a party, but more my speed, with no loud music or alcohol or other mood enhancing substances. I needed to use the restroom. Each one seemed to be taken. I came across a quieter part of the house and Michael M came out of his bathroom. I asked if I could use his bathroom and he said yes. He looked the same as I remembered him, from nearly 30 years ago.
