My Friends Were Not Really Friends At All

A couple of nights ago I dreamt that I had a group of really cool friends, and a boyfriend. We all hung out in a group all the time and got along great. My friends even got together to help me clean my house because they knew I didn't have a lot of time to do it by myself. I really felt like they were good friends. I felt happy to have them in my life. Then we were all in my apartment building or possibly a college dorm building, and the fire alarm went off. Everyone ran out of the building and I was one of the last to get out since I wanted to make sure I didn't leave my purse. When I got outside and looked around the lawn for my friends I saw them from the outside looking in. I observed them from afar. They were all hanging out, enjoying each other's company. My boyfriend was among them. I noticed that nobody wondered where I was, not even my boyfriend. I came to the unsettling realization that they really did not care about me at all. Their lives would go on as usual with or without me in it. These were all either fake or superficial friendships and I felt so disheartened. Some random person noticed that I wasn't with "my" group and told me where they were. I just told him that I was going to sit alone.



P.S. - I did not know any of these people in real life, except for one girl who is an acquaintance in real life. And I don't even remember what my boyfriend looked like. I'm married in real life.
