What the hell ...

I'm leaning against a wall, inside what seems to me some sort of mall (it resembles W mall in the city where I grew up). I see Randy, a past 'fling', coming toward me, with a girl by his side - somehow, I know she is just a flirty-friend. A part of me wants him to notice me, but the other is unsure, since I don't know whether or not he's aware of my relationship with Erich. It's just always so awkward for me, making a guy (that I don't absolutely hate, that is ;)) aware of the fact that I'm not available. (I'm not exactly good at being blunt ...)

He notices me, and stops by to chat for a bit.

Next thing I know, I am no longer present - I am watching the same scene, only with a girl who greatly resembles actress Rachel McAdams, leaning up against the wall.

Suddenly, someone is coming toward her like Randy was, but it wasn't Randy; I don't know exactly who it was, but I got the feeling he was obnoxious. He stopped to talk to 'Rachel' ... I can't hear what they are saying up until, "Oh, no I can't go with you ... I'm waiting for someone ..." to which he responds, "no, he went with ______ (I don't remember the name mentioned) ... I am your soul mate!"

At this point, I am disgusted for one ... and confused as to why Rachel when along with this weirdo?? I hear him say something about a play they are to be in, so I assume that's where they are headed.

I follow them as they head toward the front of the mall.

Now, we are in some kind of fancy restaurant - but it's outside, and there is a stage ahead of us. I am still watching Rachel and the weirdo, as they are about to sit down at their fancy, circular table. I am now focused on Rachel who is still standing up, leaning over the table - it seems like she's staring at something on the center of it.

Now, I am watching the 'stage', although what I see seems to be the face of a creepy little girl. She looks just like a porcelain doll, but she's definitely real. She has ice blue eyes, curly blond hair, pale skin ... I am now focusing on her lips. They hardly move, but a voice is coming out. She's saying something, but I can't quite understand it - her voice is monotone and emotionless - I can't get over the fact that she is hardly moving her lips. There are captions on what I guess is a screen of what she's saying (but I don't remember what it said - I don't even know if I could read them in dream.) I think she is introducing the skit/play that is about to take place.

Now, I am back at the table where Rachel and the weirdo are .... Rachel still standing, focused on whatever is on the center of the table. All of a sudden, there is what seems to be some sort of explosion on the area of the table that she was focused on - it wasn't an explosion though, just forceful air that pushed them back about 3 feet from the table. It didn't seem to be dangerous, but it was startling and strange ....
