Huh!!!

I had such a crazy dream this morning. It was broken up by my awakening from the dogs. The dream was normal until I got up to let them out. I wanted to get back to that dream so I quickly let them out and immediately went back to bed. Luckily....my dream came right back. I was working at my bar and it was a Thursday; Karaoke night. It looked different than it actually does. Not too sure what the symbolizes. So...it is early in the evening, not too many people there...just a few regulars. Then as time passes, more and more people are coming in. People I don't recognize.

Where things got super crazy was when I was taking an order from one guy...I couldn't for the life of me make out what he was asking for with the first drink. I simply couldn't hear him. I asked him to repeat himself like 4 times and still nothing. I managed to hear the next 2 orders; vodka cranberry and 3 'amazing' caesars. No problem. I was thinking to myself...I will make up the first drink and all will be well. So there I go.....to make those drinks and then I notice there are like 10 people behind the bar. WTF? I work alone! Who are these people and where do they come from? Then I stop and take a look around and notice that there are a lot of people in the bar...but they are not patrons. They are doing things like putting the chairs on the table, dismantling things, taking things apart, bringing in new equipment...WEIRD!!!

I stop what I am doing because I figure what the hell is going on....obviously the bar is closing for the night. I asked if there was still going to be karaoke....to which the reply was no. Then I see this woman and she is letting all the patrons out and telling them there the bar is closed for the rest of the week due to renovations. Ha!!!! So messed up. Then....finally I was notified that there is new management and that I am fired. Ha!!! Being very upset about the situation, I spoke to who I guess is the new manager or owner. She explained the situation to me. I asked her if I could keep my job but not as a bartender but rather a server. She asked me why; I said that I was not up to par for providing the service that this new bar would need. It was to become a high end martini cocktail bar. I have never been asked to make a martini or specialty cocktail at my bar...so it is not my forte. I explained this to her. She laughed and said she needed a minute and left. She came back and said that I still have a job and that I could start with Saturdays serving. YAY!!! Neither of us spoke of this during our conversation....but she knew my mom and I gathered that is why she made an effort to hook me up.

This was my dream!

Now....this could mean a billion things. But seeing as I was troubled going to bed and woke up troubled because of this whole friend issue....my perception on the meaning of this dream and how it applies to my troubles is this:

Something is going to take me out of my comfort zone. Does not matter what it is! I was in a comfort zone with this friend and something took me out of it. Instead of taking it to a dark place, work with it and redefine the situation...once the dust has settled as my reader commented this morning.

Ok!!! I am game! Let us see where this goes! xo P
