Dreams: October 19
watching Holly boogie in a gym
I'm in a big school gym with many other people my age. I'm sitting
on the floor talking to a group of
Swatties. Someone
says that there's a dorm room available: a 9-person block open in "Warrish"
(Parrish
with a changed name). I'm excited because it means that we can
move into it if Carrie & I get together 7 other interested students. Sure,
it's single-sex, but the central location beats the trek from
ML. The others
around me look hesitant.
Then a group of people gets up and starts dancing as loud music
plays overhead. It's totally-choreographed, with everyone in unison,
like an '80s Janet Jackson number. I stood up with them and somehow got
swept into it.
Now I'm dancing along, but I don't really want to since
I have no idea what I'm doing. There's still a big group sitting on the
floor watching, so I sit down and join them. I watch.
Holly is in front,
dancing away. The front six dancers split into two trios, each trying
to perform a fancy move:
two guys support the female, who holds onto their shoulders, pulling her feet
up onto their thighs. The left trio does it fine, but Holly can't make it
up onto the guys' legs. It looks really funny, and I can't stop laughing.
my broken camera
NEXT, I'm trying to take photos with my nice Canon camera, but it's
acting weird, with lots of clicking sounds. It's as if the camera is
taking many pictures in a row every time I press the button. A group
of people is posing in front of me. I can see them through the camera
lens. But then the camera just won't work at all. I open it up and see
that I'm exposing all the film.
at the lake with Troy and Phoebe
NEXT, I'm walking with
Phoebe
along a street. We approach a big, beautiful house that's white with
different shades of blue trim. It's located where Well Springs
(my nursery school) is, on the corner of Gresham & Iowa streets. I see
Troy and a young woman approaching the same house from the other side
of the yard, on my right. We all end up in the house together.
Suddenly we're all in a rowboat out on a park lake. Then I'm
underwater, looking up through the water at the boat on the surface.
I see Troy fall in. He sinks towards me, face down, his blond hair
splaying out in all directions around his head. He's wearing a white
t-shirt under a long-sleeved blue button-up shirt.
Then I'm on the side of the lake, crouching down with Phoebe
next to a pile of our stuff. I'm arranging the pile of things up against
a tree. There's a stack of big & small framed pictures/paintings and pears &
apples. I want everything to be safe and undisturbed while Phoebe and I
aren't here, so I try to make all the stuff as inconspicuous as possible.
I spread a blue button-up shirt over the pile.
