I was shopping casually for some clothes and anything interesting (a small excuse to get out of my apartment). I made my way down to the car gadgets and passed by a hefty man, making brief eye contact. I looked over some gear for a minute and went around the next aisle to price wallets. That big guy was standing there looking them over, too. After a moment, he asked me something, I don't remember the exact words, but it was along the line of if I was going to look at everything he was looking at. I replied that I wasn't. He left and that was that. Just now I was recalling the look in his eyes and it was quite serious.
At the time it didn't bother me at all, and pretty much forgot about it. I was dozing off here and it came back to me most clearly. There was some paranoia or disturbance in him. But since I'm a small enough guy when people get a good look at me, soft bodied and light weight, these kind of confrontations usually end without incident; I figure they usually decide I'm not a threat or much to bother with. Only now, thinking about his expression, I realized that he might have hurt me with just a wrong word. For the last few minutes now, I've been upset about this.
And then I realized that this never happened. The wallets in this huge department store are in the center of the building, and the car gadgets are way to the back in the corner.
My dreams are almost never this realistic. They're filled with symbols and impossible actions. I would never have thought this was a dream had I not realized the mistake with the store setup. Otherwise, I would've been on the lookout for him, and I still have a lot of his details in my memory. I'm afraid of this because it makes me doubt my memories and my interactions with people.
Have any of you ever experienced anything like this, is it unusual?
