CHASING DREAMS AND CHILDHOOD FRIEND

I am on a Canada-wide tour, either chasing down someone, or gathering information about this person.  I vaguely recall that it's a woman I'm trying to find, and slowly it becomes clear that I am actually looking for my childhood friend, Marg.  In addition, there is also a sense of doing some research on dreams from across the country.

Eventually, I find myself finally in Edmonton, Alberta, and there I know I'm close to my goal.  As I walk through the large bus terminal, someone tells me that they've seen "her" in the "world's largest shopping mall" but before I can make my way there, I am stopped by small medical station and am told that I need to get my needle.  Right in front of me is an empty chair with a special padding on the extended arm, and I know, just instinctively know, that Marg was just there. Or will be arriving momentarily.  (There is a bit of confusion as to the timeline there.)  I only know that right after I get the injection, I need to resume my quest.

Just a couple of notes about this dream:

1.  I haven't seen Marg for more than 30 years, but often think of her.  I tried to find her by different methods - all without success.

2.  I've never been further west than Winnipeg, Manitoba and therefore have never been to Alberta.  I've heard about the "World's largest shopping mall" a while back but have no idea where it is actually located.
