In my dream I had moved into a brand new house with my parents and sister. My sister, father and I were playing a board game about space with green aliens that kind of looked like they were madeout of florescent slime. I was then watching a movie that looked like a Studio Ghibli film on an old televeision, when I got a text from a high school friend of mine saying they had arrived. I was stressed and worried because the text had been from nearly half an hour prior. I was confused why they hadn't just rang the doorbell. I answered the door, but to my suprise, they were just walkng up and stated they had to park far away and walk up a really big hill to get there. We walked the remaining way to the house, and nearly got run into by a neighbor's kid who was running down the sidewalk. When we got to the door, he noticed the leaf carvings in the columns on the porch and had a brief awkward interaction with my dad. We then went inside and I showed him the arrangement of games I had, but I was annoyed because my previous set up had been far more organized.
