The Hotel Utah

In my dream last night, I was living in Salt Lake City. I know I was living in Salt Lake City because 1. it was cold and snowy in the winter and 2. the Hotel Utah was part of it. Now I know that the Hotel Utah is now the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, but in my dream it was still a hotel, as you will see.

In the beginning of my dream, I was walking outside in the cold/snow with a guy I am dating, and our seminary teacher. (I have no idea who the seminary teacher is, but she was our seminary teacher.) We were talking about the seminary class, and the distractions and disruptions that occur there. I felt bad, and hoped that my boyfriend occasionally putting his arm around me in class wasn't one of the distractions, so I asked our seminary teacher if us dating was a distraction, or if anything I did was a distraction. She said, no, I was one of the least distracting things in the class, even with a boyfriend. This made me feel better. I left them outside and entered the Hotel Utah.

Inside was very narrow, with lots of people trying to get rooms at the front desk. Everyone, myself included, was wearing clothes from the late 1800s. I met up with one of my cousins, who was trying to get us a room. I asked him if we would need two rooms, and he said he didn't know, but if there was only one bed in the room I could have it and he'd just sleep on something on the floor. I thought that was very nice of him. I remember walking up a narrow set of stairs to another landing to try and find our room.

Later, for whatever reason that I'm not sure of, we ended up not needing the room. We still decided to eat dinner at the restaurant that is in the hotel. (This restaurant was nothing like the actual restaurants that are now in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building on the top level - everything was still narrow and old fashioned.) I was looking forward to eating a Caesar salad, a real one with anchovies in the dressing. (That's what makes it real, in case you didn't know. And not just in my dream - look it up.) I don't know if I ever got to eat it in the dream.
