Surreal dream scene, cinematic and atmospheric, digital art: A young person holding a meditation book talks enthusiastically to their boss while bussing tables in an Italian restaurant, then leaves mid-shift to visit a small Thai food stall with a childhood friend, where they order from a minimal menu and share a moment of laughter as the friend receives extra spicy chili peppers.

Meditation book and getting Thai food

I'm bussing tables at an Italian restaurant I used to work at instead of serving. I have this book in my hands that I read and it talks about doing a specific meditation. I'm telling my boss about the meditation and say it's really cool. I then leave work in the middle of my shift and get a ride to a Thai food stall with my friend who I grew up with who's family owns a Thai restaurant. We get to this stall and (I feel like I've been to these group of food stalls in other dreams) there are only 2 things on the menu but i can't make them out, one of them is $10 and I say I'll have 1. I hand him money and he brings me out some squid and vegetables. Then my friend whispers to him and the man goes in the stall and brings out extra spicy chillis for him. I'm stressing about leaving work in the middle of my shift and tell my friend he needs to drive me back
