Women Arguing And Fighting In Walmart And Being Called Slick Rick?

Dream 1

All that I can remember of this dream is that it took place during the day, and I parked my automobile in a parking lot of a small shopping center-like area in a fictional city so that I could walk into a one-story building to use the bathroom.

After taking a few steps I realized that something was wrong, maybe some of my clothes were missing or something but I can not remember, but I do remember seeing some women with light-color skin driving by and I wondered if they noticed that I was probably missing some of my clothes.

I turned around to go to my automobile to maybe get my missing clothes, but I did not see my automobile even though I only took a few steps away from it which confused me.

I glanced around noticing one or more new automobiles, one of them had a woman in it who had just parked, and I continued looking for my automobile.

I started to wonder if someone stole it that fast, which made no sense, but eventually I found it parked back further than I remember parking it.

But that is all that I can remember of this dream.

In the real world I really did need to use the bathroom.

Dream 2

All that I can remember of this dream is that I was working inside a small probably windowless fictional library, and my former male schoolmate MH and two women with light-color skin entered the library and they sat at a table either at the computer lab or near it.

I greeted them but my former schoolmate MH did not look at me or acknowledge me like he did not hear me or he was ignoring me, and at some point one of the women with him noticed an object (maybe a silver metal toaster) with a symbol on it that looked like maybe a hazard symbol even though it was not one and the woman asked me if it was for sale.

I did not know so I told her that I would ask my coworkers, I tried to greet my former schoolmate MH again but I got the same non-response, and then I went to ask my coworkers about the object but I can not remember what their response was.

I returned to the woman and I told her something that I can not remember and I can not remember her response, and I tried to greet my former schoolmate MH again and this time he finally somewhat responded or acknowledged me.

But that is all that I can remember of this dream.

Dream 3

All that I can remember of this dream is that I was walking inside either a large Walmart or a large Walmart-like store in a fictional city that I was passing through until I stopped at the store, and I remember walking past a somewhat older man with light-color skin who reminded me of a library patron who burps out-loud sometimes and a boy who was either his grandson or son.

The man and the boy looked like maybe they were evacuees or homeless or semi-homeless or were just hanging out in this part of the store, and I continued walking.

As I walked around the store I noticed that a variety of (many) women were in bad moods (lots of negativity and anger and hate et cetera) and were arguing with each other and some even physically fought each other, customers and employees (customer versus customer, employee versus employee, employee versus customer, et cetera), and maybe only some women seemed to be acting like this which was strange (like maybe something was causing this).

Maybe this was inspired by a video that I saw several days ago.

I caught the end of a fight between a female employee with light-color skin with yellow hair and a female employee with dark-color skin with black hair, the female employee with light-color skin was on the ground on her hands and knees crying and bleeding, and the female employee with the dark-color skin was being held back by some other employees and maybe some customers and she was still angry and ranting a bit.

I wondered what was going on to cause this many women to act like this, and I heard some people talking about some other fights that happened.

As I was walking by the man and the boy again I heard the man talking about one of the fights that I missed, and so I stopped to join their conversation and I told them about the end of the fight that I saw.

The man and I walked around continuing our conversation, the boy stayed behind sitting, and the man kept calling me one or more nicknames and one of the nicknames or the only nickname was maybe Slick Rick.

We had a good conversation and I learned about some of the arguments and fights that I missed between various women in the store, neither of us had any idea what was causing this, and at some point we said goodbye because I needed to leave.

The man said that he would probably see me again, which was not likely because I was just passing through this city, but I felt that we possibly would see each other again and I hoped so because I enjoyed our conversation and he knew about various things so I wanted to learn more and talk some more.

The man probably called me Slick Rick again (he called me that several times during the dream), I was going to let him know that my first name is John and I was going to ask him his name, but I decided not to.

But I woke up as I walked away to leave the store.

Dream 4

This dream is unclear now because I kept going back to sleep after I had it without voice recording it, which caused me to slowly lose more of my memory of it, and so all that I can remember of this dream now is that it took place during the day.

There was something about a college, a small college, and maybe I dropped my brother GC off at the college and / or somewhere else and I drove around and I was going to pick him up later when he calls me.

There was something about a man with light-color skin, I am not sure if I became this man at some point or if I helped him or if I just saw things involving him during certain parts of the dream, and his part(s) of the dream involved maybe him trying to find some scrolls and / or spell tomes and / or books and / or something else that were or that reminded me of something from the video game The Elders Scrolls V: Skyrim.

I think that the man had left those items at maybe the college and / or somewhere else, and he needed to go back to get them but he got lost.

My brother GC called me to let me know that he was ready for me to pick him up, and so I was going to pick him up when I was maybe finished doing something else and / or trying to help the man get to those objects.

I ended up getting lost as I drove around probably and / or I spent too much time, and remembered my brother GC so I tried to drive around to find him.

I was not sure if he was at the college or at a store or somewhere else, I assumed that maybe he started walking because I was taking too long, and so I was going to call him but I woke up.

The end,

Memento (Film)

Source: IMDb

What is it?

The 2000 American neo-noir psychological thriller movie Memento by the director Christopher Nolan.

What is it about?

This is how Rotten Tomatoes describes this movie:

A man is determined to find justice after the loss of a loved one, even though he is incapable of fully remembering the crime, in this offbeat thriller.

Leonard (Guy Pearce) is a man who is struggling to put his life back together after the brutal rape and murder of his wife.

But Leonard’s problems are different from those of most people in his situation; he was beaten severely by the same man who killed his wife.

The most significant manifestation of Leonard’s injuries is that his short-term memory has been destroyed; he is incapable of retaining any new information, and must resort to copious note-taking and Polaroid photographs in order to keep track of what happens to him over the course of a day (he’s even tattooed himself with a few crucial bits of information he can’t get along without).

Leonard retains awareness that his wife was brutally murdered, however, and he’s convinced that the culprit still walks the streets.

Leonard is obsessed with the notion of taking revenge against the man who has ruined his life, and he sets out to find him, getting help from Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss), who appears to be a sympathetic barmaid, and Teddy (Joe Pantoliano), who claims to be Leonard’s friend, even though Leonard senses that he cannot be trusted.

Writer/director Christopher Nolan adapted Memento from a short story by his brother Jonathan Nolan.

What do I like about it and what would other people like about it?

I like the mystery that kept me focused on trying to figure out what was going on, the cleaver order of this movie, some of the acting, and the use of Anterograde Amnesia; and I think that other people will like that as well.

Final Thoughts

My brother GC and I watched this movie for the first time recently, I did not expect to like it, but it kept my attention as I tried to figure out what was going on.

I liked this movie more than I had expected, it was pretty good and was well directed, I like it when I go in expecting to not like a film but end up liking it more than I had expected; I would give this movie a 4 out of 5 or maybe even higher.

Here is a review of this movie by Chris Stuckmann:
