"I remember it in bits and pieces my husband and I were at a hotel in a big suite we were celebrating his birthday. Down in the lobby there were so many friends and family even celebrities there. A person at the hotel I’m not sure if she was there for the party or not was wearing a dress that made it look like she was naked and it upset me because my husband just kept looking at her trying to do it without me, seeing . A reporter brought him over two birthday cakes I wanted to take a picture of him with the two cakes, but the reporter and a few of her friends got in the picture too. I got upset, and I grabbed a scoop of each cake and smashed it on each side of his face. He was so mad at me. We both went back to our room while he cleaned up and were crying and fighting. After we went back down to the party, he refused to talk to me. At one point, I could hear his Aunt talking about me behind my back telling him that he doesn’t have to listen to me. After that, he walked out and went straight to a game room where he started playing table tennis with his cousin. I told him I was going to the truck because I wanted to go home however I didn’t have the keys to drive myself. I was able to get in the truck where I just sat and waited."

"I was on a vacation with my mom and brother and I decided I wanted to drive to Michigan, which was only a couple hours away when I got there I arrived in a hotel and met a lady at the front desk who I connected with. We discussed different symbols in the lobby, and there was a subway there she explained to me how to use the subway she was very friendly. She also introduced me to her manager, and I remember feeling so good to fill the filling of traveling again and exploring."

"i was at a party at some hotel, which i’d had guessed was my birthday party that’s currently coming up. i don’t remember the people who came, but when they left, my husband and i were alone. i remember we both started kind of wandering around the place, going from one room to another to sit around and go on our phones. i’d started noticing things that were ours that we’d left all over the place and thought of how much i’m probably not going to find because i have a lot of stuff i have to pack and it’s all over the place. we saw a baby crawling into our room from another, too. we eventually wandered off towards another building across the street that looked abandoned, and went into it separately. it was a bunch of stairs, kind of creepy in a way that made me confused about my surroundings. i there were stairs leading up and down at each turn, so i didn’t know where i was going. eventually i found my husband, who told me that he’d lost his phone. i looked at my app to find his phone’s location and it showed it moving. i kind of had a feeling that it was just catching up because it wasn’t recording him moving when he was, so i waited til it stopped and tried to find it with him. it was in the creepy building. we went into it and i wanted to find a cop to come with us but decided against it. eventually i found a part of the stairs that looked broken down, with a bunch of random items scattered down the tiles, like lost items. eventually we got to the roof, and i spotted the actor Andrew Garfield and called out for spider-man for help; which made me think we were possibly in new york. we found the phone, but it wasn’t his case at all. it was a red case and it was inside of something that had straps on it over the phone, facing down. at the end of the dream i explained that i needed to find a bunch of other scattered items of ours, and looked up to see a floating air balloon with someone inside it. i pointed it out, claiming i’d never seen one this close before (which i know i have), and i woke up.
