Some weird performance anxiety dream where I felt I was a contestant in one of those contest style tv shows. (Except no obvious cameras or lints, so IDK) Felt that I and a team-member (she seemed to be Latina; short curly hair) were being prepped, to compete, where another woman (who may have been a 3rd team member who wouldn't have to physically participate?) sat down and showed us some document, subtly (seemed to me, as if she were only allowed to hint, and couldn't say outright) trying to indicate several points we should pay close attention to (implication that we needed to recall them to face one of the contest challenges). To be safe, I told the other team member to circle/underline those items.

However, I also a bit later found myself outside whatever complex this had occurred in, so decided I needed to get back to that place in time for the challenge to start, so found myself in a (residential?) neighborhood, trying to get back to a retail complex (mall?), even though the place I'd been in seemed more like a public school building.  May have asked a woman nearby if I was headed in the right direction. *shrug*

Along the way, I was also stressing about my hair being messy and not braid ed up and tucked away as neatly as possible, so that no one could grab it easily (was there a physical fighting element to this?). Impression that contest participants might end up in a defined area, maybe a triangle or other similar shape, having to fight to stay within the bounds.

When I returned to the indoor space I think i had a bagged lunch...was worrying about where to put it.

WORRY WORRY WORRY.  @#$%ing Performance Anxiety.
