There was this kid, he was probably 10 or 11, who had some sort of club or something where I guess he decided who was welcome and who wasn't. He said people who couldn't walk upstairs weren't welcome. This caught me off guard. "What do you mean people who can't walk upstairs?" I immediately pictured people who used wheelchairs and felt he didn't want people with disabilities in his club. I also felt he was telling me to specifically target me since I have a disability. I can walk upstairs, but I use a walker in public. When he explained what he meant, he made it sound like it was because his club was upstairs and people had to walk upstairs. It was the only way. But I thought to myself, people can also take the elevator. I never said it aloud though. Later, either I or someone else was on my porch with the kid and tried to explain to him the difficult lives people with disabilities have to lead to try to get him to understand that they shouldn't be excluded. We talked about someone who had gastroparesis, which, if you don't know is a condition that affects the stomach muscles that prevents proper digestion. I follow a YouTuber who has it to where she just follows a certain diet and can eat, but there are some people who have it worse and need a feeding tube. That was the kind of person we were telling this kid about. We just wanted him to see that just because people struggle it doesn't mean they shouldn't be included in normal activities. Later, I was watching this movie in what felt like a car with my friend. Although the characters felt like they were in real life. It was this guy and girl and they were actually outside in my driveway. It was nighttime and winter and freezing with snow on the ground. I was then out there. I could feel how cold it was. There was this section of the movie that I thought was really funny where someone sang the words "are you gay?" I don't know what was so funny about it to me. I found it through the scene selection option and played it for my friend. Then, later I was watching the movie, which was more like the movie Frozen now, but with that same "funny" scene. I was watching with my family. We were in my living room. I wanted everyone to see the "funny" scene. The last part I remember, I was eating dinner with my mom's brother's family at our house, but they made food. We had this like flank steak with cheese sauce on it, but they called it Mac and cheese. I heard my uncle say something when we were done eating, but I couldn't make it out, although I had a feeling he was saying that he knew I liked real Mac and cheese with actual pasta. Later, I confirmed he did say that from my mom. I got so mad, pounding my fists on the table. I felt like he was being a tease, like saying "I know you like real Mac and cheese, but you have to eat this kind instead, which in the dream was Mac and cheese, although logically it was beef. Thinking about it now, I am not a big red meat eater and they are in that house. So, I feel like it accurately showed how I am always presented with red meat as the main dish at their house even though I'd rather eat something else. It's funny because the last time I ate there on New Year's Day, we actually did have mac and cheese and rather than beef, pork roast, which I can tolerate more. Anyway, I was talking about it with my aunt and while I did, there was suddenly mac and cheese on my plate with orange cheese sauce. It looked so good. We were agreeing that like "who doesn't like Mac and cheese? It's impossible not to!" A spoonful of Mac and cheese suddenly fell onto my chair as we were talking about that. I could taste the Mac and cheese and now I want some!
