In the +school's gymnasium, some company had set up a tent (yes, under the roof of the +gymnasium) for some salespeople, and a small electric autonomous car was moving +around the room, looking for random people, then "attaching" itself to them and +following them around. The car was called Dash 9, just like the diesel +locomotive in Microsoft Train Simulator. When a student told me that Dash 9 was +in the gymnasium, I got hella excited, like it was some super famous brand that +blessed us by coming here for a demo. + +I went into some sort of small cafeteria, which was closed, but the doors were +unlocked. It was dark inside, and I went behind the counter, opened a large +drawer and grabbed a slice of some pie. I looked around for a lemon pie +unsuccessfully. Under a countertop in the back was a shelf completely full of +WD-40 tins. + +I then remember going outside through a glass door that led directly to a +concrete sidewalk, just like how I would usually exit an office where I used to +work at. There was a small group of students there. By habit, after putting my +right hand into my pocket, I grabbed the remote control I have in there and +pressed its button. This remote triggers traffic signals to make them emit +sounds to tell blind pedestrians when to cross, and are normally either very +expensive or obtainable only with a disability card, but I got one anyway. In +this dream, two people heard the small beep of the remote and showed me their +own remotes. One of them was someone I met at a wedding recently. Everyone +then went on their way, and the group separated. + +I found myself now alone, with the doggo still with me. I was trying to think +of a way to get it to stop following me. I noticed it did not have a collar. I +started to run, without really thinking about where to go to head to my house or +some other safe location, and quickly stopped when I realized the dog would +outrun me anyway. I started imagining various ideas to get rid of it that +mostly involved some very mean and dangerous acts against the dog. One of those +was to jump through a window in a room a few floors above the ground, stay +standing on the small space between the window and the wall, and have the dog +either jump towards the ground or get right on my side, at which point I could +quickly jump back into the room and close the window to trap the dog outside. +The window was set up just like the windows on the top floor of my grandparents' +house.
