Can't Seem To Get My Stuff

I don't remember the beginning of this one, but about the first thing I remember is being in this city, and I was inside of these walls, but the ceiling was open. It was like this place I was in wasn't really in a building, but it was surrounded by walls. If I faced out towards the city, I could see these big doors that you had to drive out of in order to get out. Off to my right, there was this tunnel that tractor trailers were in, and every so often one would come out.

There was some stuff back behind me that I remember seeing, but I don't remember what it was. I think there was something back there like another tunnel that normal cars and trucks used, and as with everything else, to get out, they had to drive out the big doors.

The city outside the walls was huge and extremely busy, but I never became a part of it. I remember one tractor trailer coming out of the front tunnel, and then just kind of parking there. It was getting ready to be loaded and head out. I think that my PE teacher from seventh grade was the one driving it (Mr. Duty) and I think I asked if I could go a long. He said okay, and so I spent a lot of time just waiting around to go. Then I realized that we were going to be gone for a while, so I wanted to get some of my stuff.

After waiting around for a little longer, I realized we were in Weyers Cave. It was like we were at the Farm Bureau, and that was the place for the truckers, but the place was right across the road from my house. So I ran over to my house and went in to get some of my stuff, and I went into my room (which is the one that's now Nick's (step-brother) room), but it was fairly empty. I didn't really seem to notice, and I was looking around or something for my stuff (I guess) and then I went back out to the truck where Mr. Duty was getting ready to take off.

I realized that I didn't have anything I needed (again) so I ran back in and grabbed stuff like my toothpaste and toothbrush and underwear. Then I went into my room (I guess my underwear wasn't in my room, but in the bathroom or something) and Nick and Carla (girl from school) were in there laying on my bed, and I got really upset because I knew that they were either going to have sex or they already had. I was yelling at them about it, and then Mr. Duty came in. I think he somehow said they could stay since I was going to be gone, and so I went back out to the truck with him. We were getting ready to leave, and I realized I STILL didn't have the stuff I needed. I needed extra shirts and pants since we were going to be gone for two weeks. I was afraid that he wasn't going to be happy with me for forgetting such obvious stuff, but I think that's about where the dream ended.
