Short Hills Mall

Date: 5/5/2018

I had a dream that my mom and I went to Short Hills Mall to shop around and have lunch. (This is an upscale mall and I live a half hour from it in real life, but don’t go too often). The department store Nordstrom has a cafe upstairs and we went to lunch there. It was on the top floor overlooking the mountains. The waitress who catered to us had blonde hair, was dressed in an abstract no sleeve top with fancy leggings, and persuaded us to get appetizers. At first we were reluctant on getting something to eat, and told the waitress honestly that we didn’t want food. She was nasty and left us with an attitude. A few minutes later we thought it over and decided to get food after all. Another waiter served us. He had a medium skin tone with short hair and was wearing a white polo. He took our orders. My mom ordered butternut squash soup and I ordered grilled octopus. We enjoyed our meals and my mom told me that she was scheduled for an interview in New York and that she was going to take the bus there. I was allowed to stay at the mall while she was gone. So I told her that I was gonna do some shopping, like in Bloomingdales or something. Her response was “you can, but don’t spend all your money.” I watched as she hopped on the bus to NYC and two hours later she came back and we left the mall to go home.
