last night's dream

I was working for a company in some big glassy building downtown. I got to work and couldn't find my office. All the departments or units were doing a show and tell thing where each department was putting on a show or an open house or whatever, and we were supposed to go from department to department visiting with everyone and learning what each unit was doing. Only I was supposed to sign in first and I couldn't find my own office to sign in and start my tour. I met some of my coworkers and was going to follow one back to the office so I could check in. I was using my cel phone to set up 'pins' in a map app so I could find my office and find my parking space again.
One of the departments had a thing where you could look into the future (?) or some vision of the future. I was suddenly immersed in this future vision. The year 2344 or 2377 or something like that... our planet was dark and cold and almost completely covered in water. I don't know if the sun was gone or if the planet had just moved far away from the sun. I think probably it had moved out toward the outer planets of the solar system. The planets I could see in the sky were all chopped up, sort of like the 'death star under construction' looking. Apparently Earth had demolished the other planets to take minerals and resources for earth's use. We had just gotten to Jupiter and then....as I watched, Jupiter was gone. Destroyed for it's resources to fuel Starship Earth and its rapacious consumption. It was very bleak.
========================
I went to the store this morning for dinner ingredients for the week; they were playing christmas music. I was close to crying for some of my visit.
When I went to the store with Thax this past weekend, I saw a display of HEB's christmas coffee blends; I got teary realizing that I don't have to buy any this year to send to mom and Greg. Greg is dead and mom's in memory care. I don't know if she drinks coffee anymore. My sister H says mom's quit eating. She is not expecting mom to live much longer. Mom hasn't wanted to be alive for a while now.
