out of my league

I'm so new at this as this is my first scope (Christmas gift) and I have a ton of questions.
Equipment: Sky Watcher 8" Dobsonians

Question: I set up the unit and followed the instructions, aligned the finderscope (probably needs tweaking but got me where I wanted to go),
When I looked through the scope the image was very blurry, out of focus and had a spoon shape to it, I tried several times to focus but no luck, please don't ask me what star I was looking at because I have no idea, it was about 9pm on what would have been a pretty clear night and the scope was outside for about 30 min before looking through it.
I also was using a 25mm eye piece.
does this need collimation?
