dreams: March 16, 1998
social party scene
I'm standing in a parking lot talking to
Mom. I have my eye on
a nearby house, where I see Troy through an open door; I want to go see him. But first
I have to listen to Mom give me advice. She's talking really loud, and I'm afraid that
Troy can hear. Finally we say goodbye.
I walk over to the open door and enter the room. It's warmly lit and small,
almost entirely filled by a large bed that's against two walls in the corner. I greet
Troy, who has long blond hair pulled back into a ponytail. He's sitting on the bed.
I talk to him as warmly as I can, putting on a pair of socks as I do it. He seems very
apathetic, not really giving me any attention.
Then I'm upstairs in a loft; I can see down to the bed where Troy is lying. But
now he is Tim Bragg, and a couple of girls have joined him (including Erica, the little
pretty Swattie senior). There is a gathering up here in the loft, with lots of other
Swatties. I sit down with
a group of girls, friends I know. One of them is Jessica Howington, with her arm in a
sling. I stack up a lot of pillows against a nook in the wall next to the girlfriends
and lie down on them. We talk for awhile.
Then everyone is getting up to leave. The party is over. I look down and see
that Tim is still on the bed hanging out with the girls.
