Javier, Sean, video game suggesting to be bad guy

I remember dreaming about Javier again. I'm being invited to partake in a hallucinogenic experience. MDA or something? ADA? It looks like this fermented thing suspended in water and he's excited to try "the pink one." I say no thank you.

There is also a memory of splitting an expensive dinner bill with my friend Sean B. Sean is upset that we didn't get the $10 off and thinks I'm stupid for not noticing or caring. The waitress reminds me that both Sean and I are smart in different ways. So the bill ended up being a little over $200 for each person. Looking back. I'm not sure the tip was high enough.

I also remember being the new guy in a work environment and wearing my pineapple hat on day one. I was helping people laugh, I was happy everyone enjoyed the pineapple hat although they seemed to take my shenanigan as a type of character flaw. They were laughing at me not realizing I was intentionally giving them the opportunity to lighten up. They assumed I was wearing this hat as some kind of shameful punishment.

Lastly, before waking up... We're at a table discussing a video game. This man is inviting us to be the bad guys in the game. He is quite convincing. I get a sneaking suspicion that what he's asking us to do is more than taking a chaos role in a video game. There are weird parallels to real life. He shows everyone that "they're burning our crops." He ask at the table- why do you think they're burning your crops? I blurt out like a kid in class, "to control resources!" No one says anything. He looks at me like I'm right but can only make reference to this "video game." To the simulation. He says, "in the game, they burn the field to decrease your chances with the built in RNG." He goes on to say by systematically breaking the "rules" and controlling the environment they are hoping that you play the game while still maintaining the "noble" character and following the rules. An example he gave us had to do with stealing a vehicle. If we played this "game" by the "rules" our chances of having extremely tough statistics are significantly less. The more misdeeds we commit the higher our chances of being "tough zombies." (I almost became lucid when he said zombies having had recent dreams around zombies). I saw a giant spider when he said this.

I randomly see one of my customers with a woman in the bleachers, it's nighttime and they're watching a baseball game. They are somehow representing the last few noble characters in the video game. The man from earlier pulls me aside and ask what my hesitation is. I tell him I'm worried it's not just a game. I am proven right by his behavior and his response. Ultimately he ends up proving himself as a flesh eating angry person. He tried serving me a human leg he severed earlier in the form of ham-like deli slices. I refused and he was visibly angry at me, eating human flesh. After realizing this confirmation of sorts I woke up.
