Had a long meandering dream about going to have dinner with a friend. My job was to buy takeout and bring it there. There were several transportation systems (buses and trains) involved in getting there.
Along the way I stopped in a magic store which I remember browsing for a long time. They had clown supplies, jewellery, toys, and a lot of other random stuff. I remember there being several displays of gigantic pencils. I ran into a few interesting people there who I had conversations with.
Somehow I managed to leave the takeout food at the store which I didn't notice until I was almost at my destination. By then it was very late and the store was closed. My friend seemed really annoyed that I was so late and didn't have any food with me.
There were other people in the room, including one other friend who said, "You're embarrassing me!" when I said hi to her in front of other people. I then walked away wondering if I had interrupted a conversation, and was feeling strange about it.
I then sat alone at the small party feeling confused and strange about where I was and what I was doing. I was also feeling my waking life stomach pain very strongly.
A flood of thoughts and emotions followed until I heard the words, "You need to learn to master time." At that moment my stomach pain released dramatically for a moment both in the dream and in "reality" and I woke up.
