I remember a Labrador that followed me around in a middle school. 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.
