"Except it's my mind"

So I had a really weird dream last night.

--------------

The beginning part, I was at some kind of bar. I was hanging around with different people and they kept leaving. I thought it was strange, but then I saw Aya's dad sitting at a table and he said that it was understandable that they would leave.

So I started to walk home. While walking, I decided I should run for some reason. I began to run and this poor, tiny old woman thought I was chasing her. So, the old woman took off away from me.

I felt really bad about it. I didn't like this woman thinking I was scary and making her feel like she had to run from me. In my dream, she had also run from me on my way to the bar, too.

But even though I felt bad about her feeling chased, I continued running. I was unintentionally running after this poor old woman for a while, until she hid behind trash cans. I pretended not to see her and ran by.

So I was still running through this city... town... place and I saw some kids that were about middle school aged. They also ran from me.

It was dark and I was hurriedly trying to get back home. I was actually nudging people who just happened to be walking out of the way. I didn't like how I was pushing these people, but I had sort of a sense of urgency. I think I felt kind of chased, too. I think I thought I was going to be arrested for something I didn't do.

I arrive back home- but it's nowhere like anywhere that I've really lived. It's was a very very small place. My room was only big enough for a couch and a mattress on the floor. Two people, the older sister of my childhood friend Charlene and a little girl, were there. One of them said "How are you?" I smiled, stood on the mattress on my room and I said something along the lines of "That's what I wanted all along." Although in my mind, I wasn't sure if that were true.

I consider this next part to be a whole other dream because it doesn't really fit with the other one. It MIGHT have taken place at the bar in the first dream, but I am not sure.

So, I was at a party and someone (I -think- Sam's friend Joe) said he was going to finally call someone. Everyone was really happy because apparently he was due to call this person for a very long time. So, we all got together to take a commemorative photo.

Then, the world became like twitter and I was interacting with everyone around me with a keyboard and typing @ before the names of people I was interacting with.

This next part, I know for sure comes at the end-

Someone, Dan, I think, asked me what my occupation is. I thought for a bit and as I was waking up from the dream I replied jokingly "prostitution, except it's my mind."

And then woke up wondering just what kind of job that would be.

I was startled by this dream for some reason, so I couldn't get back to sleep until I went to the bathroom and read a little.

I think it's weird that everyone in my dream except for Dan was someone close to someone I know very well.

What do you think brain prostitution is?? (haha)
