Not always about me

I had this dream last night, and the end was about a friend... Not the whole dream, and it wasn't about me and her, it was just about her and something in her life. i was trying to help her, but her circumstance in the dream didn't want me helping her...

The setting started out the cross between a leather event and a fife and drum event... Camping and leather. i remember at one point putting on a black and red leather double-breasted trench coat. It was pretty hot, but in real life it would have never fit... Anyway...

there were lots of elements from both fife and drum events and leather events-- key-note speakers and weapons demos... And then i realized that i hadn't seen my friend in awhile. No one had.

we were kinda near hills/mountains... i got a tip where she might be, so i went to check it out. There was this livestock farm, with mostly horses. The stalls were empty though. The farm was owned by this older guy, in his 50's i think. Grey hair, mustache, flannel... But he looked really shifty.

i then found my friend...

she had married this guy... All in the span of knowing him a few days. (in real life, she's lesbian and not single, so this is even more strange.) but yeah, he somehow brainwashed her and married her. She didn't look like her real-life self, but it's one of those dream situations where you know the person IS who they are supposed to be.

i was trying to get her alone so that i could talk to her, figure out what was GOING ON, but the "husband" was never far away. She didn't seem herself, of course. She said goodbye to me by handing me a box of personal belongings to give back to her partner... i don't think that i actually opened it and looked inside, but the contents were implied-- things such as house keys, cell phone, maybe some jewelry from her partner...

she did not seem happy, but she wasn't coming back with me. The feeling i got from her when she handed me the box was "it's too late; i have no choice."

i don't know what to think about this dream, because as i said it wasn't about me and it wasn't about me and her... It was just about her, and it just happened to be in my brain. If this dream were about ME, i would assume that it was prophetic... But i don't know what to think about it since it is about someone else.

maybe i should have opened the box. That might have had the answer. i think that i am "obsessed" because this feels like a dream that NEEDS to be analyzed...
