I dreamed there was a giant house that me, M, D, and K were staying in. Me and M took a separate car from K and D. K and D were going in a little sporty gray sports car convertible. We were gonna be staying in different rooms, almost as if things were divided up according to gender. Someone announced that there was a person who was planning a duel of some sort with K. K decided to sneak out and drive away before the time of the duel. It seemed really slippery of him, and yet, I probably would have done the same thing.
I dreamed that I was talking on the phone to a friend, and I was riffling through a duffle bag because my cell phone was running out of batteries, and I needed to find the plug-in cord thingy for it. The power cord. I told the person on the phone that I needed to find it. She said, "That's not important." I got really upset, and the way we were talking, it looked like we were gonna have an argument. Apparently, we had had lots recently and they always left us feeling like crap afterwards. This sharp, pointy, jaggedy crappy feeling. She said we should just stop talking about what we were talking about. I was resistant, cuz I was really upset and wanted to argue my point. At the same time, I agreed with her over the phone cuz I knew she was right. I said, that, yes, she's right, if we don't find another topic to talk about, this thing'll "escalate" like it ususally does. I was in my brother's room. The conversation did turn more friendly, and she invited me to a family dinner of hers, where her whole family would be making a sort of creole dish, I think it was. I said, great, I'd love to come! She said that it was a fundraiser and it was 400 dollars per person. Somehow I counted as 3 people, or maybe I was bringing my parents. But, it seemed like it would be 1200 dollars for each of us. I thought, wow, that's really expensive for just a meal of home cooking. I asked her if I could, instead, come over and help around the house and do cleaning and stuff and help prepare the food, and, in turn, be able to eat it (without paying 1200 dollars). She was equivocal about it, but didn't say "no" outright.
She went on to explain what the fundraser was for. It was for this couple that I guess were sort of like outlaws, but I'm not sure why. I guess maybe they were gay or bisexual or something and the money was being raised for them. I wasn't sure why everyone was making such a big deal about these 2 people or why so much money had to be raised for them.
