convention

I dreamt that I was at a retreat. It felt very "done" as in it was very organized, hyped, and so on. The speakers had lots of energy and poise, almost in a 1980s sort of way. They looked the part, sounded the part, dotted their i's and crossed their t's, had all the right swags and details. I was curious, it seemed like it would be fun either way. I enjoyed the idea of being the one who could sit back and be lead through the day. My friend ASh was there. She looked as though she was enjoying the idea too. There were two main leaders. A perfectly dressed man, with a perfect physique, hair, face and posture and a woman, who was similar, but had a bit of ?? hmm she was tall, and looked like she was on a mission, the ring leader.  We were all currently sitting on the roof of a building. It was sunny out and it seemed as though the set was going to change a bit the next time we saw it. It didn't match the perfect of the rest of the scene.   The session broke and we all walked through the halls or lobby or where ever it is that we were. Everyone seemed to hustle and bustle to the next thing. I was exploring and enjoying the energy of the event and the surroundings. I loved hotels and conventions. Then I saw that the next session was about to begin. I forgot that we were to have supposed to showered and dressed up for the next session. I gathered my things and ran to find a shower. I went to several and it seemed they were all occupied.  I could see that some of the women were almost done, but I couldn't rely on them hurrying and I didn't want to test my patience. I finally found a shower room just as ASh was about to get there. I told her I would hurry. It seemed that it was open to a stair well and more.. but that seemed normal. I kept trying to put my things down and I could see that the female announcer had her dresses in there. It looked like she would be doing several costume changes at this event. They were full length strapless gowns, a red one, yellow and kelly green. I heard something over the speakers and the event had started. They had screens all over the lobby and I had a small screen in the bathroom of the event. I was wondering if I should just watch from there or if it would be appropriate to walk in mid session. I didn't want to be a target for this woman. I started noticing some other things... can't remember now... which made me think this was an odd event. I felt as if they were starting something... , gathering followers, it didn't feel right and I wanted to make sure ASh knew.
