I am riding on the subway to New York and I give up my seat to two unsavory looking people as I am about to disembark. Two of my friends are there too, though they seem to have been sitting somewhere else and are lagging behind me. As I'm getting off, I see another acquaintance of mine. He has a stoic air about him. As try to walk past him, he heavily raises his arms and then stabs me with a knife that I had not noticed in the back of my left shoulder, leaving the knife sticking out of my back. I make my way off the train and to the conductor station, which is a square, open area with extremely high ceilings. There are two young people wearing red uniforms working there behind the desks. I tell them that I've been stabbed, but they give me a hard time about getting in touch with the police. They're hassling me so much that I finally decide to pull the glass protector off their table and threaten to break it. My friends have joined me at this point. The employees seem annoyed, but agree to help me. No help seems to come though, and I begin to move on my way.
Somehow I end up in a car and somehow I am in Michigan worried about catching a flight. I keep trying to call 911 from my cell phone, but every time I try to call 911, it calls home instead and Dad keeps picking up. Ultimately I decide to drive home and try to figure things out from there. Through this time, I'm wondering if I will suddenly start to feel light headed from my knife wound, but I think the reason the wound is not causing me so much trouble is because I've left the knife inside.
When I'm at home, I sit down heavily on a wooden bench in the foyer (it is home, but it isn't my actual home). I try to call a number that the person who stabbed me had given me just before he stabbed me, but it turns out to be an Amazon Air phone number, and the person who I'm talking to listens to my issue with being stabbed but just initiates an amazon order for something. I see the Amazon Air order status begin popping up in a text message on my phone. I remember thinking the number looked strange, like it was not the right number of digits. I hang up and call information to try to figure out how to get to Crittenton hospital, which I figured out was the closest emergency room. As they're talking me through it I'm looking at a map on my phone and think that I've figured it out so I hang up on them. I head off to get in a car and in the garage I see a muscly and mean looking car that I have a notion that I had stolen in another dream. I keep walking outside past other cars that seem to have back stories but don't seem to be our cars. Finally I get to the car that I had taken to get over here (also stolen I believe) and drive over to Crittenton, but it actually seems to be more of a high end shopping mall.
When I go in to Crittenton emergency, the emergency room is part of an anchor, luxury department store (like Macy's) that also offers a beauty salon. There is a plain looking glass door in the department and I can see a bored looking person sitting inside through the glass door. I think this may be the emergency room. Then, right in front of me, sitting in some chair seemingly getting her hair done or her nails done is Mom. Her eyes are strikingly blue and her hair is strikingly blond and well-styled. She looks at me with knowing eyes and smiles. I recognize her right away and I am stunned to see her. The first thought that occurs to me is that perhaps I have died from my wound. She says to me with a smile and in a playful voice, "I know you." I don't quite know what to do, but a store clerk comes over and I ask if this is the emergency room. She responds that it is not, but directs me to go back out to the hallway area, and she gives poor directions for turning left and a little backwards. She keeps saying that I should go in the direction of a sideview mirror on a car.
I walk over there and see the line to the emergency room. People keep crowding around, but finally I am able to get the attention of the two chipper people working at the front. When I tell them I've been stabbed, they look pleasantly surprised and immediately begin to walk me back to get treated. I feel like a lot of time has passed now and I'm not sure if I will get much sleep before my flight (I don't know where I was flying to). I finally see the knife sticking out of my back. It is extremely long and looks like it is homemade. I still have no idea how deep it may be, but I keep telling myself that perhaps it is not too deep given that I'm not in much pain and I'm not dying yet. I wake up as I'm on my way back to be treated.
