dream of campus, long trip, and job at restaurant

I was in Durham again for some reason. I walked in front of the library and down to main street. I knew that I had to leave so I started driving. We got on an unspecified highway and started driving. We drove a long distance as the landscape changed and the country became flatter and greener. At some point we pulled into the parking lot of a large restaurant in an urban location. I walked inside and talked to an unfriendly manager who grudgingly gave me a job. I was told to walk up to the kitchen which was up three flights of stairs. I kept walking and eventually got there. It was wide-open and empty but I could hear the sounds of activity. I walked downstairs and got the manager’s attention as he was walking out of the restaurant. I asked him what I should do. He was proud and arrogant, looking around and asking no one in particular how awesome he was. I wanted to slap him but decided to be quiet since I felt like I needed the job for some reason. He finally said that he couldn’t help me and walked out. I stood there for awhile and walked back out to the car.
