A Date?

I dreamed I was on a bus but I don't know where we were going. The bus stopped and the driver told us that other people would arrive to take us to another destination. A man came and got me. We stepped off the bus and I saw a drug store nearby and I was thirsty so I asked if we could go in so I could buy a bottle of water. He agreed. We got my bottle of water and waited in line so I could pay for it.

Suddenly I was standing at a small banquet table where 2 people sat. I handed the woman a piece of paper with an order for a pizza and some pop for me and the man I was with. The woman looked at the paper, at me and told me I had to get a parent's signature for the pizza because I looked younger than 18.

"Excuse me?!?" I asked incredulously. "I'm 42 freakin' years old and you're telling my I need a parent's signature?!?" I would have gotten out my driver license except I realized I didn't happen to have it in my purse. I had left it in a smaller pack I sometimes carry with me instead of my purse.

The woman looked at me, at my graying hair and apologized. I was angry and snatched the paper from her and told her never mind, I didn't want pizza anyway. (Ok, I have no idea why pizza can not be purchased by anyone under the age of 18 in my dream). The man and I left. He asked me if there was somewhere else I'd like to go to get some food. No, I told him, let's just get to where we are supposed to be. It was dark out and we walked along a grassy field and got to a large canopy. There was supposed to be a very large crowd, with many of the people being those I was on the bus with and the companions who had come for them. Instead there were very few people and the ones who were there were folding the tables and chairs and stacking them into neat piles.

The man I was with offered to take me back to the bus or take me home. He thought we were on a date but I was not at all attracted to him so I asked him to take me to the bus.

Then I woke up.
