Dreams: June 28, 1997
babysitting
A newlywed couple have a baby. It's my job to look after
the kid the first night of their marriage. The baby is in a crib
in a small room. On the other side of the room is a single bed
where the man and woman are going to sleep. I focus on the kid,
pretending to not even see the parents so that they can at least
have a little privacy. Next thing I know, I'm waking up the next
morning.
I go out to another room. There is a huge salad bar.
I start helping myself. It all looks really good.
shoplifting chocolate
NEXT, I'm in a long line for a store that's having a huge special
sale. Everyone in line is my age (all students?). I see lots of
chocolate on the nearby shelves. There is a toy
car/truck/ambulance
that has a front end made out of milk chocolate.
The girl in front
of me says that I should get it. I decide to look around. I go
down an aisle and see LOTS of chocolate in all sorts of forms. There
is a tray of little chocolates; it looks good, but then I see that
the plastic wrapping is ripped open. I don't trust it. I finally
find a similar one (
Hershey's brand) that has
unripped plastic
wrapping. It's only $1.59, marked way down from the original price.
I decide to slip some chocolates in my pocket. They're little
rectangular squares (the size of domino pieces) wrapped in silver.
I look around to make sure nobody's watching and then slip a bunch
of handfuls into my right jacket pocket. I go get back in line.
I feel like everyone can see my bulging pocket, but no one really
seems to notice.
Now I'm going back home to my dorm. I'm walking past a field
where a bunch of people are playing softball. Lynn (from
Swat) is leading one team
of coed players. I see a line of players who are waiting to bat.
Holly Berman
is one of them. She stops me, super friendly and warm.
We chat.
Megan F.
comes over. She's wearing all red, and her hair
is pulled back. She gives me a big silent hug.
