Is it the shoes?

In this dream, i’m preparing to go out with a few people. I’m not sure if it’s a “date” or not, but i do know that i like a man in our “party” and want him to notice me. My shoes are black ?suede with a low thin heel. Vintage looking, but classic. We’re almost ready to go when i remember i forgot something (jewelry?) and need to run back to my room to get it. 

I go downstairs (Manassas house) to retrieve what i’ve forgotten and then i’m crossing a stone walk way over the ocean. There are no rails and the waves are very high, coming over the side of the bridge. I have to time my crossing with the waves and each time a large wave comes, i jump up and float above it until it goes by. This occurs three times and then i’m at the door of a ?crypt.  

The door is stuck and i pull on it until the whole panel of the crypt comes out. It’s heavy – a slab of stone or marble. I tuck the panel away so i can put it back when i’m finished getting what i came for. Inside the crypt it’s my room. The furnishings are velvets and silks. Mostly red. I go to the dresser to get my jewelry. I find an old bottle of perfume i like (Magie Noire) and spray some on thinking maybe if i smell nice the man i like will notice and like me. After i spray it on i’m worried that maybe it’s too old and doesn’t smell like it did when i wore it in my younger days. I ask Lois if it smells okay and she says it does but she’s choking/coughing a little from breathing in the mist in the closed space. 

 

Still, i feel pretty good about myself and my great shoes and head back out of the tomb. I wake up as i’m putting the stone slab back in place.
