yet another "2nd part" dream due to the fact that my memory seems good enough only to remember the second parts of dreams.
anyways, i dreamt that i returned to the same odd 70s-era toystore/childrens' entertainment emporium that i visited briefly in the first half of this dream [that is all i remember of the first part]. the place looked a bit run-down and there weren't too many people in there and, strangely enough, very few children. there were several staircases [no visible escalators or elevators] which all led to a skeletal 2nd story toy storage area that also had leftover clothes racks, spare store furniture, leftover beds and bedframes, et al. behind one full-sized bed there was a false wall, as it appeared to me in the dream. something [i don't know what- i must've just had "a wild hare up my wazoo or something] made me get on that bed, whereupon i went "WHOOSH!! !" through the false wall, bed and all, and then i found myself on a roller-coaster-like track only it was like a waterslide with the bed gone and the top missing, so i could see all around me and i could look down at the first floor of the store with the shoppers browsing among the aisles and racks of merchandise. the "ride" was slower than a real-life waterslide but it was twisting and turning, and i was having the time of my life with a goofy smile on my face, and i was shouting "YIPPEE!!" when an adolescent child looked up at me with an expression of mild embarrassed disgust, as this old fart was laughing and having fun on the waterslide. the ride finally came to a stop at the cashier's station, where i ran over a type of code scanner glass like in a real-life store. i don't know if i paid or somebody paid for me. my clothes were soaked so they made me disrobe, and strangely my clothes just vanished before i found myself in a gray robe and light green blanket- my real-life robe that i wear all the time, is gray- and the color of my real-life baby blanket which i treasure, is light green/blue.
anyways, the cashier made me take a spray bottle of disinfectant and spray a portion of the scanning apparatus, then she gave me a spray bottle of "conditioner" that i also had to spray the apparatus with also. then she and the other cashiers gathered in the manager's cubicle and had a discussion about something relating to the disinfection. on the walls of the cubicle i noticed several advertising posters for music lessons and some school test results, graded multiple-choice tests on 3-by-5 cards, relating to pitch perception. what was odd about these was that the lower the score the better grade the student got. then i just walked about for a little while dragging my blanket behind me like linus on the charlie brown tv specials. then i was led to a darkened, small green-curtained partition behind a stage of sorts, where i was told to change back into my regular clothes which were dried for me. then they closed the curtains and suddenly the lights turned on and i was in some kind of office where there was a long desk with work stations divided by panels. at "my" workstation i found myself at a desk with a bunch of electronic cables and miscellaneous gizmos i knew not what they were exactly. another person watched me sort this stuff and put some in a bag and the rest into my pockets. he told me he used similar stuff from time to time. i told him i carried this stuff around because one never knew when one would need the right cable to hook up an audio component. another person to his right, who looked menacingly middle-eastern, just glared at me like he was disgusted at me, but then the other fellow left and the middle-eastern person started smiling at me and told me that he was straight but just loved being ogled naked by other men. then i awoke from this most interesting dream.
