Greedy Hands

Date: 2/3/2017

The dream began with me and my two great friends, Sienna and Tehya. We were walking around a relatively lightly lit and decorated mall. Marble flooring and skylights stood out among the many shoppers that brambled about. Suddenly we stood in front of retail counter that created the barrier of a corner store. There were no walls that separated the walkway from the store, just two long grey counters with employees behind them. Without hesitation, Sienna paid for a massage and walked into a crowd of busy workers through an opening between the reception desks. I pulled out my bank card, swiped and followed after to get my massage. I was lead by a tall woman in work uniform (which what I can recall was navy) behind the counters and down an escalator. The lower floor replicated the floor above, only there was a selection of products and massage tables that replaced the counters. As I waited for the lady to prep the table for me I scavenged through the products. Victoria secrete perfumes and clothing lined the shelves, non of which had price tags. "All free I guess", I said to myself. I began to sort through different products, then I remembered about the massage. I turned back towards the tables but my masseuse was gone, I then stood up to look for her. With her not in sight I travelled back up the escalator to see if she was there but still, no trace. Then as quickly as I went up, I went back down. As I descended down the escalator the store was bare. The marble floor was replaced with a vinyl black matting and the massage tables gone. All what remained were the products. Greedily I began grabbing everything I liked of the shelves and shoving them into my bag. The masseuse stood behind me, arms crossed and peeved. "Where were you?", she angrily questioned. "Looking for you," I replied back. She glared into my eyes and then walked away. After the confrontation I continued to look at perfume bottles and ugly jewelry. Still with no sign of my friends, my dream ended like that. The End
