DREAM THREAD Part Pi.Pi!

OK. Some stuff from last night. First, I was basically in my life of the early '90s--doing temp office work in early '90s Minneapolis and walking to work--only in the dream I had my current dog. I went to do...something...but it didn't pan out. They were closed or some thing. Then I remembered I had a dog and realized no one was watching the dog so my subconscious quickly came up with that I'd left her at my aunt's house. So at this point I'm trying to think of the best way to my aunt's house from where I am and as I type this I'm realizing I was using Portland, OR for this part of the dream, where there's a big river smack dab through the middle of town. The Mississippi runs through Minneapolis too, but it somehow seems less intrusive. I guess I could've been in the north end of Minneapolis, at one end of Nicollet...anyway, at this point my brain realizes that my aunt lives way out in the suburbs and it would be a half hour by car, let alone walking and I think my brain threw in the towel on that dream.

So now I'm at my brother's bar (which he sold a few months ago IRL) and the big town fair is coming up--or something. For some reason I'm in charge of planning some entertainment so I just SWAG a plan while my brother sort of nods absently to it. The bartender takes it as written in stone and draws up staffing for the bar around it. Later my Mom comes to me about the plan and forces me to come clean that it's completely made up off the top of my head and I haven't actually done anything with it and starts trying to pin me down on stuff--"What needs to happen?" Interestingly, my car was stolen in a dream awhile back and apparently it was still stolen in this dream. I say something about how first we need to get my car back. And we need something about some vehicle or trailer of my brother's. Not long after this I notice a traffic jam out on the freeway (there are no traffic jams or freeways in the town where the bar is so I guess we're back in the Twin Cities) and in the center appears to be a grey Mustang, stalled with cops around it. I head out to see if it's my car but as I get closer it's a much older car--possibly a 55-57 Chevy (which doesn't actually look anything like a Mustang at any distance).
 
AH! Already lost so much of it. Catching...OK, some of it is coming back: I have a cold [probably because I seem to have a cold] OOP! Another part just came back. Before that was a Marine dream. I'm a comm officer and I'm taking over some planning from a very junior officer and I'm very competently cleaning it up--it's got a lot of unnecessary stuff in it etc. I have to go to a meeting and I'm maybe halfway there when I realize I'm not wearing a "cover" (hat)--which is a terrible sin to do outdoors in uniform. So I'm doing the idiot response of putting my hand on top of my head which just makes it more embarrassing before I realize I can take my "blouse" (shirt) off because "boots & utes" (work uniform only with just a T-shirt) doesn't require a hat. Of course when I get to where I'm going, putting on a shirt is a lot harder than it should be and I'm running late.

THEN I'm starting to come down with a cold and an old roommate has all kinds of goofy supplements he says I should take, but it's too confusing and hippie so I decide I'm just going to tough it out. Next we're at some bar. Everyone's getting another round and my glass is empty but I remember I'm coming down with a cold so I ask the bartender if he can just give me some tonic water with orange juice, maybe a touch of lime juice, and some kind of citrus garnish. About that time some kind of sketchy porn star shows up and I've got to be friendly to him because he's hinting that he can get me in a scene. The bartender has found some kind of mix or infused fruit slices or whatever for my drink and everyone is excited and considering getting one but I have to go to the bathroom. When I get back I've resolved to tip the bartender $5 but it turns out the drink is apparently $15. I bite the bullet and chip in $20. Somehow the sketchy porn guy is in on the deal and instead of being served a glass, the bartender hands him 2 of those little plastic liquor bottles like they have on airplanes and at the checkout at sketchy liquor stores that are filled with a Pepto-Bismol/Star Trek-looking liquid. He manages to drop them and at that point I've had enough and I'm like "tough luck dude." Then I realize somehow I have my bottle and it is mostly still full (don't ask how little plastic liquor bottles could spill--maybe they didn't have caps on) so I'm sneakily drinking mine because I'm not going to share. And it was pretty good.
