dream theater
Sunday night into Monday morning, the prince came in to our room at about 3:30 to ask his dad to tuck him back in - I cannot wait for that child to work out how to get under his own damn covers, I tell you what - and we both had trouble getting back to sleep after that. In my fitful dozing I dreamed we were out to dinner at a restaurant. It was awful, one of those dreams where when you eventually wake up you have to take a couple of minutes to review and make sure you didn't actually do the thing you dreamed about. Ugh. (I concluded that it was a sign that I'm not ready to even try going back to the cathedral even to sing in an open space with at least ten feet between me and any other person. Anxiety dreams have messages, yo.)
Last night I dreamed we went to the zoo in the evening. Somehow in the dream there were a couple of parking spaces right at the zoo entrance, and we arrived just as the time restrictions on them ended, so we were able to park in this improbably convenient spot, how nice for us - and a family we entirely didn't know, who were getting ready to go in to the zoo, also congratulated us on our good luck and then put some of their stuff in the trunk of our car. And I said excuse me, what are you doing, please don't, and they said oh, we'll come right back and get it before you go, and we argued about that for a bit, and they took their things out of the trunk but then a couple of the older members of the family put their jackets on the passenger seat, and we said look, you can't leave your stuff in our car, what's this all about. And they said "can't you do us a favor?" And we said "who the hell are you?" - and that made me uncomfortable in the dream and waking up, as I'm not thrilled with the sentiment; I am, of course, willing to do things to benefit strangers, even at a cost or inconvenience to myself. That doesn't normally involve taking charge of other people's belongings for an undetermined period of time - which, by the end of the dream, was what I ended up explaining to these random people, that because I didn't know them we'd have no way to find one another and get them their stuff back before one or the other of us needed to leave. I remember discussing with my actual companions how this family of randoms must not have been prepared for how big the zoo was going to be, like maybe they were expecting one of those small zoos that can fit inside a city block so they assumed it would be easy to find us and get their jackets out of our car but in fact it's a big place and if they left stuff in our car and we all went in we might easily never see them again.
Not sure what that was all about.
