Braids

Dream

It was an afternoon, I just finished getting knotless braids in my hair and I was with an old friend from middle school - she’s Yemen. We went to a nearby Dominican hair salon to wash get my braids washed, there was a Dominican man there he seemed confused as to why I was there since my hair was professionally braided but I asked if they could wash my braids with a certain shampoo I brought from home which he agreed to. Before getting started, I was a bit nervous thinking to myself if I should probably do this since it might hurt moving every strand of braid around while it’s still fresh in my scalp and I know I’m very tender headed but I didn’t want to back out at the last minute. Anyway, we were then at this clothing store I’ve always been wanting some new clothes and I remember I have a lot of money on card so while I was trying to figure out what I wanted I seen some random clips playing from somewhere. The quality of the video seemed a bit new but with a vintage/old style filter on it, in the clip there was two girls sitting at a park bench though there was absolutely nothing around them besides sand and trees. It was sunny in that clip, one girl got up and started skipping around I began admiring her outfit she had this jean jumpers on and a glittery, rose gold, long sleeved shirt underneath it, I wanted the same outfit so I shopped in the store to hopefully find it.

Dream

I keep dreaming that I’m working with my special education students. In the dream we are preparing to take kids to a church event or party. There is a statue of an old king. Im trscing my fingers on the statue seeing that hebhad braids tucked under his crown thats wraps over his head. It transitions from the statue to me helping a man, one of my coworkers put on a scarf over his head in the style of the statued king. I’m running out of time to get ready myself and i am struggling to wrap the mans head with the scarf. I eventually get it but i tell everyone to go ahead without me while i get dressed. I cant find anything nice to wear. I eventually find a floral patterned skirt and a floral top. I walk to the event and its being held at jennefer lopez house. Her and ben aflek are hosting. In the dream i am in some way their neice. As im doing my job, they are also hosting. They have a few conflicts, but i jump in to chat with them on the side to be essentially kinder to one another. The front door to their home is a fortress. 2 layers of very secure, iorn wood and concrete doors. I eventually see ben and jennifer talking and laughing they ask me stick around with them as their neice and plan some time for them together. They appreciated my advice and want me to be a buffer. I agreed as long as i could bring a friend. They said of course. I first wanted to plan a boat trip. the party ended and i took the disabled students back to the building but i had to climb through a window to get out of the house, and i had to help the kids out the window as well
