I'm in my bed asleep and just waking up from a dream
that i want to remember. In that dreams dream, there's a girl that is very
interesting to me. I follow her around as she tells me of her adventures. She's
wearing a metallic looking pink lycra body suit. She looks anime. We're in a
inner city children's park and she's showing me the different rides. The first one we look at is like a regular
"gate" ride that goes 'round and 'round but it's very high off of the
ground and you have to climb a jungle gym to reach the platform to use it. As
we're climbing, she tells me about another ride at the end that's like a car.
She and her boyfriend were playing on it and he was killed and his body was
tossed over into the straw bales that edge the park. I'm not sure i believe her
but i'm having fun and she is interesting. Next we crash a party at some
redwood picnic tables. There are a bunch of people (all girls i think) and we
sit down among them. The interesting girl picks up a raw turnip from a platter
of vegetables and announces in a voice that makes you believe that it is a feat
of skill or magic that she will now eat the raw turnip! It's funny and
everybody is laughing. There is a basket of red sauce (looks like Tabasco) in
front of me and i grab a bottle, take off the tiny red bottle cap and in the
same voice, advise that i shall now drink the entire bottle of red sauce. Some
of the girls gasp in alarm but i read the ingredients to them and assure them
the sauce is more sweet than hot and it will be fine. I drink down the red
sauce and it's very tasty. All of a sudden, a cute black rat runs up to me and
sticks its head into the bottle. I'm alarmed because i can see that the neck of
the bottle is going to cause the critter to suffocate. I grab the body of the
rat in my right hand and the empty bottle in my left and pull the rat out. It's
head is bigger than the opening but somehow i get him pulled out and he seems
fine.
Now i wake up and get out of my bed. I walk down an
unfamiliar hall looking for the bathroom. The floor is stone slabs, very
rustic. The first door i come to is another bedroom and at first i like it a
lot. The beds head and foot board are made of tree limbs. But there's a second
bed in the room that i don't like and realize there's no windows, so i go back
into the hall. I go into the room at the end of the stone path and it's a
bathroom. There's a stone tub built into the wall and the only window is a large
round stained glass over the tub that lets in some light be obscures any view.
It's very church like and i find it soothing. I brush my teeth at the stone
bowl sink and go back into the hall. I return to "my" bedroom and
even though the bed isn't as inviting as the tree bed in the other room, i like
this room better because it has two windows. I lay down in the bed and from
there, look out the window at all the people going to work and school. Once in
a while, one of the commuters looks at my window but i'm laying down and sure
they can't see me watching them.
Some kids come in to my room with their mom and get on
the bed. I think they don't notice i'm there. The mom is going to tell the
children (a boy and a girl) a story and i like stories too so i'm happy about
that. But we are in the story now and we're in the lodge-like living room of a
home. The man of the house is standing in the room in front of a nice fire in
the fireplace. It's very cozy. I decide
i need to leave and make my goodbyes to the family and leave through the rustic
door. It's cold outside and there's snow on the ground. The man and woman come
out and we sit on the ground of the porch because i'm undecided about whether
or not to leave. I begin to tell them
about my dream about the interesting girl and then i'm back in that dream.
