Dream
I was in a game of hide and seek, where if you were the seeker, your name above your head would turn yellow and you would become a 'zombie', which is what they called the seekers in the dream. I was hiding in a bad spot because I couldn't find anywhere to hide my big body in the midst of small spaces, nor did I want to make a bunch of noise to alert anyone to my location. But I was smart enough to know when a seeker passed by so I could go to the part of the building they were just at. So I kept moving instead of staying in pace like everyone else. I got caught in the cafeteria because I didn't look behind me as there were a group right there. So I became a seeker. The seeker needed a roll of toilet paper to keep with them (for some reason) and I was having issues finding where they restock the toilet paper. I know it was in a closet outside of the main building, because I accidentally stumbled upon it while hiding, but I couldn't locate it again. So I thought I would take the ones on the floor but someone said those were for the hiders only. By the time I found the closet again, the game was over, and I was the starting seeker of the next game. I hated being the seeker because I was so bad at finding people, and you had to act like a zombie with erratic movements and weird arm postures. I found one person but I decided to let them go, because I was thinking we were friends (even though they were the popular person and I wasn't part of their group) and hoping that they would do the same for me next round. I still couldn't find anyone, so people came up to me and pitied me and joined the search because they were bored. I always hated hide and seek as a kid because that's what always happened, bad at hiding and bad at seeking, so it was never fun. But the next round rolled by and I was hiding again. The person I spared last round found me, but instead of passing by, they tagged me and laughed with their friends and walked off. I felt betrayed, and was mad that they didn't understand the mutual agreement that I thought we had. I was also upset because everyone seemed to take the game too seriously and never had any fun with it. I stood there stunned for a bit before I woke up.
