Oct. 26th, 2001 09:40 amInteresting dream last night...
ellie, you were in it.
She, and some other people, and I were all looking for something (I don't remember what), and ellie had insisted it was down in the sewers. So we tramped around the sewers for some time, and then I finally managed to convince her that it wasn't there. We came up, and went into this building that was at the same time an office building and a school. We sneaked in, and I managed to grab an oddly-shaped red keycard that we needed off a desk, but then I realized that I had to go to class. So I gave the card to ellie and walked out, passing several schoolgirls in very short skirts on the way out.
When I got out, I realized I was in Hoboken, and that there was no way I could possibly get back in time for morning class. But I kept walking down Washington St. towards the train station anyway, and then I turned a corner and saw a GIANT dragonfly - about the size of a man - climbing up the side of a building. It had some kind of clearish bubble arrangement near the end of its...whatever the middle bit of a bug is called. Thorax? Anyway, no one was panicking or anythiing. Amazing what people will just take...
So, about this time I realized it was just a dream, and I closed my eyes and made a conscious effort to wake up. I did, and found myself in my room, only (I only notice this in retrospective) it was significantly different. None of my clocks had the same time, and I was unsure whether I had missed Calc or not, so I went into my hall and asked everyone I saw if they had the time. The guy at the end of the hall told me it was twenty-one. His room had become a tiled bathroom somehow, and his girlfriend was going there to meet him; I passed her on the way. Anyway, it couldn't possibly have been twenty-one, because it was still light out. And I realized again that this was a dream, and closed my eyes and made a conscious effort and woke up - for real, this time.
Unless I'm still dreaming, that is...
Interesting, wasn't it? Not sure what it means, if anything, but open to suggestions.
