Elvis Lamp and Berlin

I dreamt I was working in a new office. I had a nice setting. I was using the desk that I had purchased from an estate sale and I had it decorated kind of frilly. Not my usual in an office. I generally try to look organized and utilitarian. This was very whimsical and fun and made me smile. My new coworkers were a good 15 to 20 years younger than me. Although I didn't feel out completely like one of them, I didn't feel like an outsider either. There was one especially energetic guy that was part of my team. He was chipper and felt nice to be around. He was about to work with another guy, who in the dream was fun, successful and innovative. That would be a good team. We all (the staff) had taken a class and so received iPads as part of it. It was a nice gift and I was thinking about what kind of backing I would use to differentiate mine. I had an image of white with black swirls that (in the dream) I had used for my phone. Yes that would work fine... Normally, again, that would be too girly for me. My friend (PC) showed up. She was all smiles and gave me a congratulatory present. I'm not sure if it was for this job or what, but I accepted. She handed me the gift bag and I pulled out a glittery desk lamp. It had a gold glittery base with Elvis in a white jumpsuit on top of that in his pose and then a gold lamp shade. I loved it. I immediately went to put it on my desk and had a perfect spot for it. I went to plug it in and the gold lamp shade had turned into white Christmas lights wrapped around swirling wires. Each time I went to try to plug it in, this time from the plug in at the beginning of the string of lights, to the plug at the end of the string of lights, it would light up the first few lights and then burn out at the end and the plugs would melt and fuse. I realized I just needed to plug in the initial plug and the electricity would flow through to the end on its own. Then PC told me that someone wanted to sign a contract with me... wanted me for the business or job. It turned out it was the young guy and the successful man as well as another guy that was working on a project. I was happy and excited. ------ I dreamt I was in Berlin visiting. It was now... like I had left and was there. It happened so fast I was questioning myself as to why I was there, how did I do it financially and so on. But I decided to go with the flow. I was so happy to be there and seeing my friends. I was back visiting my old apartment and my friend (SP) from Berlin was there, my friend (WW) from the Netherlands was there and another guy who I seemed to know in my dream. They had never met each other and so I was really looking forward to some of my favorite people coming together. The apartment then turned into SP's apartment and was fancy and nice. He was showing everyone his place. He had turned his bedroom into an outdoor area and there was even a pool. One of the guys had just come back from the bank. I realized I had no Euros on me and needed to go as well, so I slipped out to the mall to find an ATM. I went through a bank, but they were all for the special cards with the chip which mine didn't have. Then I kept walking and finally found one. It gets a little foggy here, but I met someone, everyone was friendly, I came back in time for us all to go out.
