I had a dream last night which made me a little confused. I don't remember everything, but I do remember this fragment. For context, I go to an art academy, and there's a person in that class I don't like. Nothing against them, they're just not my type of person. I am neurodivergent, and VERY sensitive to specific sounds. Loud people can be literally painful for me sometimes; and the person I don't like is extremely eccentric and loud. VERY loud. They talk non-stop, and pisses off everyone because they keep disrupting our classes. They're also kinda mean and arrogant. Let's call them M.

THE DREAM:
I'm at some restaurant with my close friends and the people from art academy. M and their friend group is in the same room of course.
M is being all loud and over-the-top, which pissed me off. I keep staring at them, thinking to myself how annoying and disrespectful M is. Meanwhile, one of his friends notices I'm staring and starts staring back at me. I quickly look away and pretend nothing happened. I turn to my friend, who was next to me the whole time, and ask them to come to the bathroom with me.
We go to what's supposed to be the bathroom, which is actually just a tiny room with yellow walls, a big round mirror with a little sink under it, and a small wooden chair in front of the sink.
My friend sits down on the chair, and for some reason, I start doing her hair. While doing her hair, I vent to her about how M is bothering me. While talking to my friend, I hear M's friend's voice behind me ask: "Why do you hate M?". I turn around and stare at them for a few seconds, as I was startled. But the thing is, I don't hate M; I just don't like them. So I ask them what they mean, and tell them that I don't know what they're talking about. They give me this intense deathstare, and ask me again with a pretty monotonous voice: "Why do you hate M?", and then out of nowhere, they pull M next to them. I'm even more surprised, so it takes me again a little time to answer. I answer "I don't hate M, I don't know where you've gotten that from!". The friend tells me to prove that I don't hate M. I stay frozen for a while, trying to think of something. Then, awkwardly, I give M a hug. I was very uncomfortable, and hated it. But M seemed happy about it, which made it even worse for me. But the friend seemed content with my choice; they just nodded, and then both them and M left. I was left very confused by the interaction, just staring off into the wall thinking: "What the hell just happened?".

Yeah, I wouldn't call this a nightmare but it was a VERY uncomfortable and awkward dream. Very unpleasant. I hope this won't ever happen in the waking world lol. I'm never afraid of confrontation as I'm very confronting myself, but this was just terrible.
