Dream
I was at work (I manage a pizza shop), but it was in some sort of large, school cafeteria-type building with multiple levels. I was working alone, but I felt the need to run around the building looking for something. I don't remember what it was, but I knew I had to get back to the restaurant before anyone noticed nobody was there. I don't think I found what I was looking for, but I remember people giving me strange looks as I jumped around over steps and slid down railings. When I returned, there were probably 10 people sitting around the tables. I said, "What could I get for - oh, you got it yourself", noticing one guy took pizza and served them slices. He had also portioned slices onto trays and left them behind the counter. I noticed the time was after 2am and assumed they had come from a bar.
After this, I was listening to one of my favourite bands growing up, System of a Down, and somehow the singer of the band was sitting at a table with me. We had an in-depth conversation about their music and how it affected me when I was younger. He (Serj) expressed his distaste for their album, "Steal This Album" , but I told him despite it not being as popular with my peers, I absolutely loved it. After talking for a while, I remembered I had 2 orders to make before 3am when I closed. I close at 10pm in real life, but this seemed normal. I was then randomly in an elevator, and Serj was leaving. I wished I had thanked him for his time talking to me, but it was too late. There was another guy in this elevator with me telling me the people were there to pick up their orders. This made me really anxious, and I struggled to get back to the shop. It was almost 3am. I got back and a guy with a side buzz and tiny bun was standing over his pizza and strange-looking panzerotti-thing staring at it. I was relieved to see it was still steaming hot, then I woke up. I'm still anxious for some reason, even though I woke up before being jolted awake for the first time in weeks. I still have System of a Down stuck in my head.
