The Selection and a Small Beach Town

It was like I was in the book series, The Selection, and the choice was down to 3 girls (including me). We were all staying at the castle with the prince. The one other girl was very nice while the third was mean. I was the equivalent of America. We all slept in the same room in different beds, and the prince would often come to check on us. Our room wasn’t anything very special, but I remember the “castle” having green and burnt orange undertones. His mom, the Queen, wasn’t very friendly and often dragged him away. For some reason, I was studying to pass my Part 107 exam in this dream. The Prince kept telling me how much he missed me because I was studying so much. I passed my exam, and the other girls were slightly jealous. Then, some kind of tragedy happened. We were on a bridge, and there was an attack. Then, I was back in college. My current job was now a summer position, and I’d be driving back to school. For our last day together, my co-workers went to a small beach town. I was in awe of how brightly colored it was, and so many flowers were in bloom. There were cute shops to explore. There seemed to be tension amongst my co-workers. For some reason, I gifted them Phantom of the Opera masks (it seemed to make sense in the dream). Some of my friends from school were there, so I hung out with them. The town was surrounded by ocean on one side and big green mountains on the other. My friend GD and I went to a dessert shop where she got this tray of pink truffles that were shaped in a wreath. We got pictures in the flowers with it, but it was so sunny that it was hard to see without my sunglasses on. Then, I got a pastry with Cinnamon Toast Crunch in it at a stand, and the man was apologetic about the price. It was $11, which I didn’t think was horrible because it was sizable. I wanted to share it with Grace, but she was in a class in one of the shops. MG showed up and told me to share the dessert with a random girl I didn’t know. I said no (I wanted to share it with Grace since Grace gave me some of her dessert). Grace showed up, and we ran off down this back alley of cute shops. It turned into a weird hallway (like the backrooms) that was grey with green doors. Most were locked. I finally found a sign that said “the beach” with an arrow, and I opened a door to reveal the beach just outside it. We all walked to the water and stuck our feet in the sand, sharing the dessert as a group. I felt it was almost time for me to make the trip home.
