Martial Arts and Eggplants

I'm taking part of a martial arts championship. Somehow, I am using several fighters (apparently 6-7), as if this was some sort of game. Still, what really works is that I enter different bodies and fight using them. The only real recall I have is after fighting with my last character, which was a chinese, long-haired man with a two-part name (something like Duo Lon or similar). He was the least skilled of them, but it turns out that he would be the one to get scored, after the fight. I'm leaving the arena when a woman approaches me and makes me sit down on a chair that looks slightly like a barber's. She tells me I stayed in the 10th place overall. I was surprised! I had fought well, so why only 10th place?

She turns into T (male), from work, as she explains. T. proceeds to tell me that I had lost 22 points (out of 100, it seems), as I had ripped the sleeve of the enemy fighter's kimono during the fight. I quickly recall fighting Ben, from Lost (http://www.minhaserie.com.br/imagens/novidades/upload/ben-lost1.jpg), who was wearing an orange kimono. I was going to throw him back, but when I grabbed his arm I somehow ripped off part of his sleeve. I accepted it - it was my fault, anyway, thought I still thought they were taking off too many points. But there was a second point. T. inquired to me about an answer I had made before regarding Eggplants. I was puzzled for a while, until I remembered (FM) filling a form about habits, likes and dislikes, and marking down eggplant as one of the least liked foods. It turns out that my dislike for eggplants had made me lose several points.

He proceeds to tell me how delicious eggplants were. He and others then list a series of dishes using eggplants (a scene probably derived from the 9th manga from the xxxHolic series, which I had recently read), and I watch, increasingly angry. "You should eat healthier food! You should try new things more often!" I was really angry with him, but somewhere in my mind I agreed, even if I stubbornly didn't want to - I had to try new things. I still thought it was unfair to lose points over my food habits, and be made fun of due to them. "You should eat healthy, learn to eat!" He smiles and pats me on the back "Maybe after that you can learn how to drink some booze, eh?" He said, really loud, trying to be funny. That made me even angrier. (T. doesn't drink... lost dream sign).

I leave the place, still thinking about really trying new things. I'm heading somewhere, and on the way people who know me walk by. A guy tries talking to me, but I tell him to get away for the moment, as I was angry. Eventually the dream changes a little and I meet T. (female), B. and others from my old school, who are helping C. find something she had lost, apparently a pendrive. We're in this industrial area, some kind of strange factory, and looking inside some machines and chests for her thing.

Just a note about the images, rather than the dream.

I have noticed that you're posting links. Soon, I'll add an 'image' button to Sea Life so that you can post images from other websites, rather than having to upload them everytime.

You'll still have the opportunity to upload original imagery though.
