Here is my dream from 2 years ago. I have it written down so now I can repost it here:
I went out of the building where I work, to go to a bakery.
It was about 15, so early afternoon.
The bakery was at a street in my city.
But not any specific street that I would know.
A generic street.
Buildings on the sides of the street were all next to each other with no spaces between them.
It was quiet, no cars, no people walking.
I noticed a queue before the bakery but then I was relieved when I noticed that the people were waiting not for the bakery but for a gate a bit to the right from it.
Inside the bakery there was also a queue but much smaller.
When I entered the building there was a small square room(?) with another door in front leading to the rest of the building, where people live and an open door on the left leading to the actual bakery.
I went there because I really wanted to buy a croissant with chocolate.
For some reason I thought that this is what I really need.
The bakery was a room not very deep but 3 about times as wide.
The room was divided in 2 parts by the shop counter.
The entrance door was at the very left side of the long wall,
and the left, short wall had a window.
(which makes sense, because after entering the building I had to turn left to enter the bakery - In a dream such logic is not always followed but this time it was)
The right, short wall had a doorframe without a door, leading to another room, probably where the breads and stuff were made.
Some noises could be heard from there but not much.
On the back, long wall there were shelves with stuff to buy.
One woman was selling there.
A strong looking bald guy and 2 or 3 dark haired women were buying before me and talking some unimportant stuff.
At some point they stopped talking and there was an awkward silence.
The woman selling there said
"Nobody buying suddenly or what?"
I said that I'm waiting but I was not sure if it was my turn because of the guy in front of me.
He said something like "I don't only" and left the room.
Before that finished happening, I noticed that she already removed most of the items from the shelves because it was closing time soon.
And there were not many items in the first place, because if you want to get good stuff from the bakery you should come in the morning.
Later, you're left with whatever is left.
She actually used her whole forearm to sweep things from the shelves.
They would fall down, straight into a cardboard box on the floor.
I looked inside the box and noticed that I don't see any croissants there.
I thought that I maybe will try to find a donut or something else that I could like.
She said that I could also look in the other box.
I didn't see any other box.
I asked where it could be.
she said that it's behind me, on the very top.
I looked and in the right corner of the room there was a wooden wardrobe which I haven't seen before.
But on the wardrobe I couldn't see any box either.
"I don't see"
"It is there, just look."
"I still don't see, I don't know."
"You are looking wrong. Look at the top of the wardrobe."
"There is no box."
"Of course there is a box, look. Oh, wait, you are right, there is no box. Where could I have put it?"
And she started looking for it but didn't find it.
I suggested that maybe someone stole it.
In the meantime there were only 2 of us in the room, and a guy in the next room, not seen but making some noise, like hitting something with a hammer but not very loud.
She said "we'll check in a moment"
She took a smartphone and started watching recording from cameras, from some minutes ago.
(recently I heard someone saying that it's strange that we don't see smartphones in our dreams. Well, not any more.
Anyway, most of the time I was not seeing the recordings "in" the phone but just the recording "without" the phone)
I could see myself walking to the bakery.
It's strange that in the recording I was wearing a jacket which I was not wearing when I actually was in the bakery.
(Some dream inconsistency. I don't usually have the possibility to see myself from outside. One of such possibilities is watching my films, and in some of them I was actually wearing that jacket. I think that this is the explanation. Also in the in-dream recording my hair looked like in one of the videos and not like it looks right now. In the dream it didn't seem wrong or strange to me. only now)
I thought that it's cool to see these events again, from an outside perspective.
I went inside the bakery (in the recording) and the queue there was bigger than when I actually was there.
Also I saw some events which I didn't see when I was actually in the queue:
the bald guy in front of me.
He looked annoyed.
Someone suddenly jumped on him from behind.
But the guy quickly caught him, threw him above his head and on the floor in front of him.
He said
"Don't do the... wait, it's you!
Are you crazy or stupid?
Why would you do this?
You know what could happen if it was really the?"
The guy on the floor, laughing a bit: "your quick reaction only shows that you are afraid of something. You have something to hide? You can tell me."
The woman wanted to skip the recording forward, more to the the present.
But she went too far and went through the present, into the future.
There were no recordings from the future, obviously, so the phone showed some strange cartoons instead.
But she didn't watch it.
She went to the next room because the noise coming from there was bothering her.
She talked something with the guy there but I didn't understand their words.
So I was just looking around.
Below the windowsill there was a recess.
A heater can be placed there but there was no heater.
Actually the recess was a bit deeper than the typical thickness of walls, but this didn't seem strange to me.
I noticed there the edge of something probably made of cardboard.
I thought that this maybe is the box that we were looking for and that I should tell her.
I loudly shouted
"PROSZĘ PANIIIIII!"
She said "I'll come in a moment!"
And then suddenly my alarm clock woke me up.
I looked at my room.
And then I felt sorry for the woman in the bakery, that I bothered her with looking for the box and then suddenly left the dream without buying anything.
And then I realised that it's probably silly to worry about not buying a croissant in a dream.
