old friends

In this dream, I was working at a retail store (in real life I work at Target), though in the dream I was part of the group who does the intense stocking and unloading of trucks in the middle of the night. Somehow, this became a health clinic. Anyway, the most memorable part of the dream was that an old friend from college (who I haven't talked to in years) came into the clinic for an abortion. This in itself is kind of funny because she's gay, and wouldn't tend to need services like abortions. Anyway, she was understandably upset, and it was my job to sort of facilitate helping her fill out paperwork, etc. At the same time, though, this was happening at the retail store, so there were lots of customers milling around. Then someone from some kind of anti-choice group brought a baby to us while we were walking. I guess this person wanted my friend to hold the baby in the hope that she'd change her mind, but the baby was screaming and crying because it wanted its mother, and I was upset at this activist because I wanted my friend to have some peace and quiet during this difficult time. Then, we had to contend with one part of the retail store closing. Apparently, I was responsible for putting up these big aisle blockers to let people know that the area was off-limits. All this time, my friend was waiting patiently.

I think there was more, but I can't remember it. Then, I dreamed that I was writing this up in the dream blog. It was a dream within a dream (a dweam wifin a dweam)...too weird.
