I was working in the What/When department of my hotel and my desk was located in the back corner where the packages are normally kept. My boss was Kelvin from my old factory job at Plexus and he was in his office while me and Kate (who currently works in What/When) were hanging out by my desk. I had downloaded a song onto my computer and we were editing it into a new song which was hilarious for some reason. Kelvin came over with a curious smile as we were laughing about it and he sat down in my seat and asked "So how do you edit this?" I showed him how to do it and without missing a beat he deleted the entire thing. I thought he had done it on accident until he said "There. Now stop doing this at work." He got up and went back into his office and I was furious with him. I turned to Kate and said "He's lucky that it wasn't something important!"

Later Kate returned to my desk and she was leaning over on my left hand side. There was some strong chemistry between us and I was showing her something on my computer again, just happy she was near me. Suddenly she leaned closer to me and taking the hint I leaned towards her in perfect harmony. She backed off slightly and it occurred to me in a flash that it wasn't her intent at all. She smirked and said "Were you about to kiss me?" I was so embarrassed but I wasn't about to lie so I sheepishly said "Um...yes." She said "Okay, well let's kiss then" and leaned in to fill my lips with a bunch of chicken pecks before I pulled away, afraid of being caught by Kelvin.

The next thing I recall is walking along a highway with Kate, Kelvin and some foreign man. The man kept mentioning how dangerous it was to be walking there but we just ignored him. We were on our way to meet friends at great America which stood atop a big hill, and as we turned the corner onto a dirt road I waited until Kelvin was ahead of us before bitching about him again. "I mean, what in the hell is his problem?!"
In the next dream I was at a cottage with a bunch of friends and family, and Kate was there as well. Dave was calling out for me, and when I found him he was in the bathroom doing his business so I stood outside the door as he discussed something, although I can't remember what it was.

 Later we all sat in the living room discussing how we were going to watch home movies on our last night there and Kate and I kept giving each other these glances just to ensure each other we were in each others head. She mentioned that she had to leave day early and someone had suggested we watch the movies that night instead so that she could enjoy them too, but I persuaded them to stick with he original plan. There was a bonfire burning down by the road away from the cottage and we had secretly planned to sneak away and have sex in front of it on her last night there.

There were a bunch of elderly people dancing in the main room of the cottage and my late Grandma Dee was one of them. She was spinning and twirling and wearing the permanent smile she always used to have, and I stood there watching her dance and thinking "I must remember to ask her what her favorite moments were in life."

In the dream I didn't know she was deceased but now that I'm awake I wish I would have taken her by the hand and danced with her, fanning that beautifully lit smile.
