Dream #35282

We were at the city park. For dinner. Some restaurant had started serving dinner in the park. “We’re going to go put our name on the list,” Steve-O said. He and mom walked off and I lay down on the grass. Dad stood there with his hands in his pockets and I looked at him and then closed my eyes. It was early evening and the sun was still shining but I was tired and I dozed off. When I woke up dad was still standing there with his hands in his pockets. Had he noticed I’d been sleeping? I sat up and tried to wipe my eyes but my vision was still blurry. “Hey. I think they got a table, let’s go see if we can find them.” I stood up and my dad walked back behind me and I turned around to follow his blurry figure. The picnic tables were full of people and I found mom and Steve sitting a few tables away. “There they are,” I said and started towards them and my dad followed me. As I got closer I realized it wasn’t them. The two people I thought were mom and Steve sat looking at us. I had no explanation and dad looked at me. “Where are they?” I asked and felt ridiculous. “Let’s look over here,” dad said and I followed his blurry figure and noticed that I was clumsy, the way I was walking. And I followed him between tables until he realized he couldn’t find them either and we walked over to an empty part of the park and dad just stood there. I pulled out my phone, surely they had tried to call. There was no message. “Did they call you?” I asked. “No. I’ll try calling them now,” he said. He dialed my mom’s number and I watched him wait. “Hey guys, where are you? Kev and I are standing here in the park, we’re looking for you. Give us a call, we don’t see you.” "I'm sorry I fell asleep, was I asleep long?" I asked. Dad smiled and breathed through his nose loud enough that I could hear him. "C'mon let's go," he said and I went with him.
