I was in the car with my mom and my baby sister. We were driving to get dinner because we wanted to grab something quick before going to see a movie at a drive-in theater. There were three fast-food options at first, and I wanted a Subway sandwich and candy from 7-Eleven. I remember thinking that my mom would let me choose whatever I wanted, so that’s what I was going to get: a sandwich and some candy. But I also wanted one more side from a different fast-food restaurant. I remember looking around and seeing a Chick-fil-A, a Taco Bell, and a McDonald’s. I kept telling my mom to choose whatever she wanted so I could get my side from whichever place she picked. At some point, my sister shouted that she wanted chicken nuggets, and I said okay and ordered her a chicken nugget kids’ meal. My mom jumped in and said, “With apple slices,” because she wanted her to have a healthier choice. I looked at her, slightly annoyed, and said that if she wanted french fries, she could get french fries. We both laughed because I wanted to give my sister everything the same way my mom always gave me everything. We also tried to order dessert, but the drive-thru worker said, “Sorry, we stop the ice cream machine at a certain time before it gets too late, so we don’t have that.” We were all annoyed because it didn’t seem that late. I remember looking at the time — it was around 11-something at night — and thinking, “Are we even going to make it to the movie?” After getting my sister’s food, I again pressured my mom to choose a restaurant, and she chose McDonald’s, but only because it had a strange purple sign. As we walked toward the McDonald’s, my mom was wearing a weird, almost space-jumpsuit-type outfit. It seemed tight on her body, and I felt bad, thinking, “Why does it put so much pressure on her sides?” I felt apologetic for adding so much pressure to her outfit because it looked uncomfortable. We were going to a drive-in theater I had been to before, but I couldn’t remember exactly where it was until we reached this hill. Then I realized, “Oh, I know where we are.” Suddenly, the dream changed, and we were heading back to our house. Since we had picked up dinner for everyone, I really wanted to go take a bath. My mom made my brother go set up the bath before we got there because I wanted a certain aroma or soap in the water. When I arrived, my brother had set up the bathroom. There were little green dots of soap floating on top of the bubbles, but there was also a note left on the side of the tub that said, “This is trash, by the way,” which was so funny because you could tell they were annoyed they had to do it. I walked past the bath and into the living room, where they told my mom, “Oh no, I forgot all the other food in the car.” She replied, “Oh, I already sent your brother to get it.” Then I woke up.
