Meeting in Room 2032

I had a dream that started with a woman I’d met on a dating app—a Black woman who felt poised, intelligent, and intentional in the way she communicated. She told me very specifically to meet her at Loyola University, in room 2032, almost like it was an important appointment or portal I was meant to walk through. In the dream, I was coming from my own college, where I’d been working on a group project, still carrying the mental weight of school, obligations, and shared responsibilities. In this group project, one of my teammates was a guy from my real high school days, Peter Plankus. He was friendly enough, familiar and “nice,” but in the dream he was clearly the worst possible partner to rely on—lazy, unmotivated, and not contributing any real effort. Despite this, everyone in the group seemed to want him on the team, almost like they were enamored with the idea of him, while I was quietly thinking, “Seriously? This is the person we’re choosing?” I went along with it, but there was a low‑grade frustration beneath the surface. After that, I kept running into Peter in different public places, as if the universe were throwing him into my path again and again. I saw him at Loyola and said something like, “Hey, what are you doing here? Aren’t you supposed to be working on the group project?” He’d brush it off with, “Yeah, yeah, I’m working on it,” even though his energy and body language made it obvious he wasn’t. Later, I’d see him somewhere else and ask, “Do you have any questions for me about the project?” and he’d say, “Yeah, but I don’t have it in front of me. I’ll send you a message,” and then never follow through. His presence became this repeating pattern of empty promises and minimal effort, contrasted against my awareness that things actually needed to get done. Eventually, I made my way to Loyola, focusing on meeting the woman from the app. I found room 2032, but when I got there, a class was still in session. The door was closed, and I didn’t want to interrupt, so I waited outside in the hallway. The atmosphere had that quiet, academic hum—dim overhead lights, muffled voices behind the door, a sense of being on the threshold of something. While I was standing there, an Indian guy struck up a conversation with me. He seemed to know who I was right away, like we had some kind of history or shared context. He asked me if I’d ever gotten my computer issues fixed, referring to my “previous one” and all the problems I’d had with it. I was a little surprised he knew that much, but I went along with it and started explaining. I told him how I’d had a three‑year service contract on my old computer, but that by the time major problems started happening, the contract period had technically expired. I explained that I tend to keep my computers for a longer time than manufacturers expect, and that Dell, the company, refused to sell me an extended service contract. They basically wanted me to buy a whole new computer instead, as if everything was disposable. I told him how I felt that was a scam—that it made no sense that they couldn’t just extend the service agreement when I’d hardly used it at all during the original term. He listened and nodded, clearly understanding my frustration. He asked, “So what did you do then?” and I said that I pushed back. I called Dell and told them they needed to fix the computer, that I didn’t care if it was outside the official contract window. I reminded them that I had paid for three years of service and had never used it even once, and now that I finally needed it, they couldn’t just shrug and walk away. They told me they would attempt to repair it, but warned that if the problem was beyond what they could fix, they wouldn’t go any further and would just send it back as‑is. I agreed and said, “Fine, just at least try.” In the dream, I explained how, in the end, they actually fixed everything—so thoroughly that it felt like I’d gotten a basically brand‑new computer. I told the guy it turned into a really positive experience and that, because of that, I now actually recommend Dell. He seemed satisfied, as if he’d wanted to hear that I stood up for myself and ended up getting a good outcome. Eventually, the class in room 2032 finished and people started filtering out. Then I met the Black woman from the dating app. She didn’t make a big formal introduction, but she began talking with me in a calm, natural way. She came across as pleasant, grounded, and educated—someone who carried herself with quiet confidence. We stood there in that Loyola hallway, having an easy, flowing conversation, with the residue of all those other pieces of the dream—lazy group partners, repeated run‑ins, tech problems, and self‑advocacy—still lingering in the background as I focused on this new, potentially meaningful connection.
