I've recently moved into a new apartment. I have not gotten my deposit back from my last landlord, but can't remember where I lived so don't know who to go to. It's spirngtime and there's a lot of melting snowbanks full of cinders and sand. I throw handuls of the dirty snow which burst into beautiful patterns when hitting the ground.
There are outside video game like things in the parking lot. There are a group of males playing a particular game which takes two players to play. It's like a squirt gun game at a fair. We play a few times but don't win.
The two guys give up and leave. A girl who I find attractive joins me to play the two player game. I realize the game will accept more than a quarter at a time. I put in a whole lot of change. My co-player is short, I have to hold her up to aim the squirt gun. On the first try we do better than I did with my former teammates. I reach into my pocket for more change and pull out a wedding band I found on the roadside decades ago in waking life while walking the Appalachian Trail which I've since lost. It's very tiny, but I'm able to slide it on my pinkey and exclaim, "I haven't seen this since 1989!"
I put even more change into the game this time. When we look up at the funnel you're supposed to shoot the squirt gun at, it's broken, but we play the game anyway. This time, we win! A door opens up in the game, beyond which is a small tight staircase. I tell my partner to go up into it to get the prize. The dream ends as the perspective follows her up the stair case.
