Dream

Posted on December 21, 2008 in Dreams

I wake from a dream in which I have sneaked my dog into England and need to get him out again, then eat some gigantic cookies. I find myself lying in bed near a window. There’s a tiny green telescope on the window sill. I look out it, then answer a phone call from my mother. I tell her that going back to graduate school is impossible but I have other ideas for my life. When I finish, I turn around and look at the room. I am lying on a mattress on the floor in a college dormroom. There’s a normal bed beside me. I get up and go looking for Lynn. I see her ((She has dark, middle-length hair)) arguing with the resident assistant down the hall and then running off. I run after her. She disappears into a doorway covered by a light East Indian blanket. I go back towards the room, then decide to go back because I know pot smokers live in that room. I have been such a pain that she has taken up toking. I go back to the room but have trouble finding it because the blanket is gone. When I open the right door, the guys inside tell me that she isn’t there and point off towards a closet. I find her crumpled inside. I pick her up and take her back to our room to recover, certain that a new, promising chapter in our lives together has begun.
