Dream: Mother Lifa

Most of the dream took part in an auditorium.  I think a bunch of us drove a bus there so I suspect that it was a pathfinder event.  I remember being on the bus at night.  The image I remember had me either standing in the isle or sitting on the back of a seat.  I believe the entire dream was at night.  Other than the bus ride, I remember three distinct scenes: one with Lifa, one in a hallway, and one in the line for dessert.  The dessert scene definitely was the last of the three but I don’t know if it was the last scene of the dream.  I believe the hallway scene was after the scene with Lifa but I am not sure.  It simply involved me walking down a hallway out of the auditorium.  I remember the left wall being comprised solely of windows.  Through it I could see the night sky over a very large parking lot.  I could see that we were not on the ground floor.  We may have been on the second floor.  I was playing a game on a tablet.  It may have been a combat game.  I was so immersed in the game that it took over the dream, that is, I was in the game for that part of the dream.  I was in some sort of tank.  That is all I remember from that scene.  I do not remember how the scene with Lifa started.  The first thing I remember is being in the food line with her in the auditorium.  She was on my left side and a bit in front of me.  I was turned to face her.  As I think of this, I think that I can deduce how I encountered her.  Later in the scene, I distinctly remember her being on my right side.  I believe that the image I have of her on my left is her approaching me and I probably let her come ahead of me in the line and ended up on the other side of her.  Anyways, we spoke while going through the line.  As in reality, we had not seen each other in a long time.  When she first came to the line, we were maybe 30 feet away from the tables of food.  By the way, contrary to my statement that the whole dream was at night, in the image I described earlier, the auditorium had some windows on the wall opposite the hallway and sunlight was filtering through.  This memory is not absolute; it is only a hypothesis.  I did not remember the brightness of the room or the windows until I tried to resolve the issue of why she was on my left and not my right.  Furthermore, it contradicts other images I have of looking at the auditorium from the hallway where I saw no windows and it was not very bright, as if either not all the lights were on or the lights were failing.  By the way, I have been using the word auditorium but it was actually a gymnasium.  Anyways, when Lifa and I got to just before the food tables, she mentioned that it was cool, or maybe the word was amazing or interesting, that we both had children.  I strongly believe she specifically said sons.  She said it very casually, as if she thought I already knew she had a child but I did not.  I was so shocked I stopped listening to her for a few seconds.  I contemplated the implications of her being a mother, specifically that chances of a relationship forming between me and her were now practically zero.  But I quickly recovered, remembering that the chances of that happening were already zero and that I had decided that I did not want a relationship anyways.  We continued the conversation; she seemed oblivious to mu momentary lapse.  We eventually got to the end of the line when something happened.  I do not remember what.  I believe it had to do with us turning around because after the incident, we walked back toward the hallway.  Maybe one or both of us stumbled.  Anyways, we grabbed each other, my left arm was around her waist I believe and my right hand was on her hip.  Our bodies were touching at the hip.  She had grabbed, with her right hand or both hands, my penis, accidentally I assume.  We were frozen there for a few seconds.  I asked her what she was doing.  I do not remember if she responded.  She was looking at me with an expression that seemed not to be of surprise or shock or embarrassment, but of disappointment.  I suspect that it was because she noticed that my penis was hard.  I honestly did not know why it was hard.  I do not even know if it was hard before she grabbed it or if it became hard because she grabbed it.  I do not remember how that awkward situation ended but we got over it and started walking toward the hallway; I do not know why.  Maybe our seats were in that direction.  I point out that I do not know what happened to our food during the incident.  In fact, I do not remember either of us ever holding a plate or tray.  Anyways, I struggled behaving appropriately after the incident.  I remember wondering if it was expected or even acceptable to put my arm around her as we walked.  I warily did put my left arm around her waist.  She did not seem to mind.  That is all I remember about that scene.  The last scene involved me back in the line getting dessert.  There were maybe two other people in the line.  They were offering different kinds of pie and ice cream, or sorbet or sherbet.  There was not very much left.  I remember going back to another part of the line to get a piece of some dish that was not there before.  For some reason I left my bowl, or plate, on the table and got a new one.  When I got back to where I was, I remembered my first plate, searched for it and found it, then put the food from that bowl into my new one.  That is all I remember about the dream.
