ignorance and Lies

I dreamed I was in a Halloween costume.  It was shaggy and dark, with an ivory goat head.  I was in a mall with two of my cousins, Tyler and Micah.  Micah got thirsty and went to the food court, then we saw security take him to the back.  Tyler said he tried to steal water and was caught, so we left like whatever, Micah is always doing something stupid.  Tyler asked if she could hold my hand because a bunch of guys are cat-calling her, I said okay just hang on my arm, and we walked down the length of the mall.  Suddenly, I see my dad and my brother.  They noticed Tyler, and my Dad was shocked when I took off my goat head, I was furious.  He was about to say hi and hug me (for show), but I cut him off and asked why he hasn't returned my sister or mine phone calls.  He was speechless and looked everywhere but at me, then angrily I said "I know you, despite the show you put on and the mistaken reputation you have, I know who you truly are, and who you truly are doesn't care what your own son thinks, you piece of shit."  He began to walk away, and I followed, taunting that he is walking away in ignorance again.  He suddenly turned and asked what I want... I said I want two things, for you to own up to the shit person you are and then to help my sister pay for her medical bills.  Again, he walked away.  Then, someone grabbed me, saying "We gotta go it's showtime."  It seemed I was supposed to participate in a haunted house.  So I went along, scaring folks by "bah-h-h-h"ing like a goat and rushing out a corner screaming.  One girl was overwhelmed and fainted, so I dragged her to a seat screaming "Help!", then she came to.  I made her stay seated a bit while I got her a glass of water, there was a barred window with receptionists in front of the kitchen.  I ran up and asked for a cup to give the fainted girl water.  She gave me a clipboard and said I have to sign for it.  I was like "It's just a cup I only need it for a minute."  She replied that it was for the water, not the cup.  I was confused, but I signed.  Before she handed me the glass of water she said she needs to take out a tax, and poured half of the glass out.  I was like WTF!? Whatever, I ran the glass over to the girl.  She still looked uneasy, so I took the glass and ran out the haunted house into the mall to get a full glass.  EZ PZ, no tax, but when I returned she was gone.  Instead, there was an old friend there.  His name is Sorrel, he was dressed very sharp and in the middle of dinner, an ivory bowl of ravioli.  I became curious, asking him what kind of ravioli it is, he said he's not sure, his girlfriend made it.  I asked if it was butternut squash, and I began opening my backpack.  He asked why hell do I want to know, and I pulled out my dinner, which was butternut squash ravioli in the same ivory bowl.  He looked at me like WTF!?  Tasting his, he said yeah it's butternut squash, and I told him the girl I'm seeing made this for me.  We began a serious question game, asking who are her friends and hobbies and such, both of us afraid to say her name in case it was true.  I was beginning to doubt if my relationship was fukn worthless, like I'm a side-guy and she's just "slumming it" because Sorrel looked like he could better take care of a girlfriend financially.  I felt that familiar sick, anxious feeling and told myself no, you are hardened by now against this kind of bullshit.  I told Sorrel I have to go back to the haunted house, putting on my goat head, I gave him my dinner and told him it's his burden if he wants to confront her, because I had suddenly become careless.  That's all I remember.
