I just had a really weird dream. One of those that you wake up and go back into the same dream later when you fall asleep again. I was me but surrounded by people I don't know irl but I truly did in my dream. I was with a group of friends. One of them was going through a separation and we were helping him move out. The ex was there as well and we all knew her and the guy for years. She was a part of the friend group.

The thing that really fucked with me is these people that don't exist were so real. It included inside jokes that I knew, back stories of how we met. Reminiscing of things we did together in the past. I remember pulling out my phone and shooting the shit with one of the guys showing old pics and videos of crazy shit we did in the past for instance.

There was also drama that I knew about in my dream and watched progress / unfold in front of me. Like a few of the closest people to the guy going through this were a no show.

Idk it was just fucking weird, like I was completely emersed in the situations, having unique conversations with these "friends", the story progressed like the movers finally showing up. People coming and going. Me getting yelled at to get off my ass and start helping.

The whole thing was surreal and I think what made it weirder was that it wasn't very eventful. Usually dreams are more interesting? Like it was just me, existing, doing something with this friend group that doesn't get together very often anymore that I had known for years but literally don't exist. Another weird thing is I wasn't the main character. I was just helping a friend out that needed me.

Idk, the whole thing fucked with me. I have never had a dream so.... Immersive based completely on people I don't know?

Fuck, where do I even start? Portion sizes are a joke. Cost is through the roof. Then you got general fuck ups constantly! I don't go out a ton because of the cost. I usually order to go or delivered. I'm constantly met with wrong orders! Like, I place perfectly reasonable orders not asking for anything special or outside of the parameters of their menu only to get the completely wrong thing or no item at all!

I have worked in the service industry as a line cook, server, and bartender. I know the industry. I'm baffled as to why so many of my BASIC orders are not being fulfilled!

So, one example so you don't think I'm just some crazy person expecting something special. I ordered take out this weekend. It's pretty uncommon for me to do that but I was feeling like I wanted to blow some cash.... I rarely go out or order takeout and the amount of times the order is wrong is insane!

Order: Buffalo Wild Wings. Walked in. Sat at the bar. Ordered a tall beer. Ordered to go (all on menu, nothing picky): 30 wings, all flats, half traditional buffalo and the other dry rubbed lemon pepper.... I finished my beer, pay 20% tip, and took my food home. Found half original buffalo and half something called "Asian Zing".. Not even a dry rub.. Over the last few years of me living here, this is my average experience ordering food from local places or corporate chains in Denver.

Anyway, I have lived in Denver for about 3 years and this is my typical dining experience overall. Like, what the fuck? Are Denver folks not capable of completing basic tasks errrr.....?
