Hire me. Fire me. Actually, piggy-back me instead.

Last night I slept terrible.
This did not stop me from dreaming, even though every hour or two I would sit up in bed, puffing on my e-cigarette, reliving the dream I just had in my head. Then I would lay back down on my pillow and repeat the process. I must have awoken five or six times throughout the night.

This dream was the most recent of them. And the one I can most accurately offer up more details.

DREAM ::

It took place within this strip mall. The front were these large windows, that so incredibly mirrored the outside world in such a way hard to describe. Inside were stores...  for example, a small grocer, a hairstylist, and a slightly larger drug store. You could travel between the stores without going outside. Or through the back hallway area, meant for employees only.

In the short time period of one day, I had so easily gotten myself employed at the hair stylists. I would just be shampooing people's heads, and cleaning up the hair trimmings. Altho it wasn't long, before my acting out by rebelling against the products they were using on people... got me fired from the job. It was quick. It was painless.

I went over to the drug store next door. It was similar in style to many shoppers drug marts that I have been inside. Them, without knowing that their neighbour hairstylist had already hired and fired me that same day, also gave me a job.

I suppose I was just far too rowdy to hold down a job.
For I was on this other person's back getting a piggy-back ride, and they were carrying me up and down the aisles. We were running around. Things were getting knocked over. In the excitement of getting this piggy-back ride, I didn't even realize for the first while that it was actually me that was carrying myself.

And then my perspective suddenly switched to the me that was doing all the carrying. At this point, my new boss and other employees were attempting to hunt us down, so I carried my other self to the back through the hallways behind the stores. Finally we crouched down in this locker room, where we discussed the schematics of this all.

The dream became lucid here... for I was talking face-to-face with myself, carrying on a conversation about how this all was possible. There was no way that I couldn't realize that this was just the insanity my dream world was making up for me. So, bam! the realization of the dream turned it into a lucid one.

I only got to spend a small amount of time exploring a portion of the locker room with myself as my companion. We then saw an opening in the ceiling tiles, with a pile of boxes below it. I boosted myself up. It was just in time too, as we both looked down through the hole from the ceiling we were in and saw the people chasing us go running past.

And I woke up.

+++++++

Two jobs hired and fired in one dream. That was impressive, even for me. It is clear why I dreamt of this, seeing as how I am job hunting with everything I got these days. It doesn't worry me, though. I feel like I will be able to pull myself through this with much less incident than this dream indicated.
