Dream; Cooking frustrations

I was trying to cook a meal, a sort of Thai sauteed noodle bowl. But I couldn't. First, I couldn't do it because there wasn't enough room at home. So then I did part of it there and moved part of it to my childhood church. Just like at that time, I'd run down the darkened hall of mazes when no one was there, and back in what was always my favorite room to hide and read in, I began to cook parts of my meal. I had to travel around to the city, which was more of a wooden tree city in a forest, to get ingredients and parts. I don't remember a lot, but it was all in the local area and one of the tables was now a stove. Sometimes outdoors and sometimes in the church. I had to get butter, garlic, and onion, but when I went to the refrigerator it was on stage in the old sanctuary and they were having a weekday evening meeting, and I couldn't just go to the front and interrupt and get it. The female adminstrator from my work was there also. I was trying to boil the noodles in one bowl, and saute them in another, but I never got to it, because honestly what can you do without onion, garlic, and salt? They are important. And the vegetable portion of my dish was cooking in another location. It was just this huge spread out affair of cooking in many locations and being unable to get all the pieces and put them together. I never was able to cook it.
