I was on vacation somewhere for some conference or something, I believe. I had someone with me that I don't recognize now, but in my dream, he was a good friend of mine. It may have been some strange version of Nick. He looked a little bit like Nick and Neal Dillow combined.
We were at this motel to find a place to stay, and the person at the front desk was this woman that works at the Merillat Cafeteria. So she showed me this map that had a floor plan of the rooms, and I could choose that way. The rooms were some ridiculously low price of $20 a night. She also showed me something that had all these animals drawn in cartoon form. Each of the animals were assigned to a room as a "guard" or something, and they each had a price under them. I thought that it was a price for if we had to replace one, or if we wanted to buy one to take with us. (or maybe I thought it was some sort of game that we would win that amount if we had that animal as our guard) So I chose a pink dragon, which had the price of $600 under it. It was the largest on the page, and it was dead in the center of the thing.
So we were there for three or four nights, and then I went back home. Then at some later point not long after that, I went back to the motel with the same person. The guy I was with went in first and she was telling him how there was a special on rooms for $10 a night. I heard that just as I was walking in the door, and I thought that was cool. When she saw me, she said my name and told me something like I owed her $1400 for my previous stay. I told her I didn't understand why, and she told me it was because I had chosen the dragon. I told her that I didn't realize that I had to pay for the dragon too if I wasn't going to keep it. I thought it was prize money. She said that she had forgotten to tell me that I had to pay for the dragon, and that I still owed her the money for it.
I was trying to convince her that I didn't owe her anything because she didn't tell me ahead of time what it was for. She showed me a map, and asked me if that was the room I had chosen. It was a room right in the center of the place. I told her yes (and realized at that point that I had been in the same room before, except it was in a high rise hotel in the middle of a city. It was from a different dream that I don't think I ever wrote down)
So while we were talking this out, there was some sort of cartoon on TV that I was watching at the same time. During this, I was holding up something in front of me that was like a newspaper, but it was a map of the place, and she was trying to explain this thing to me.
After the cartoon was over, I continued with trying to convince her that I didn't owe anything because she should've told me ahead of time, and it wasn't fair of her to say "Well, yeah, I forgot to tell you, but you still owe me the money."
Finally at the end of the dream I was thinking that if she didn't believe me, I was going to get my lawyer in there to make her change her mind. I was trying to decide if I should tell her that I was going to get my lawyer, therefore probably making her change her mind on the spot and let me go with it, or if I should be meaner and not tell her I was bringing my lawyer, and surprise her with him.
