we rent a ho/motel for the evening | 20 August 2002 | 8:56 am


in my dream last night:

TT and i are in philly for his semi-monthly meeting at the office. we rent a ho/motel for the evening and he offs to the office in utte. for some reason i have a rental car and decide to take it out on the towne.

f0o is there and shows me around her old town. somehow we take a wrong turn and end up in some comic books store asking directions. i have her drive so i can look for landmarks and we end up driving around a tall monument (the road around it is very circular and loopy, 200 ft. above the river.) we loose control of the car and dive out of it just before it goes over the edge, through the railing, and down down into the water to sink.

tourists look at us and point. we have no shoes on...perhaps left in the car...and we are dirty and torn from the fall. we must somehow find our way back to the ho/motel, and end up asking a blind man for directions on how to bus it there (we gave him a silver dollar for his kindness...a heavy coin, beautiful and the sice of one's hand.)

we ride eight busses, forgetting transfers every time, and finally end up back at the ho/motel after walking many miles and bussing through the night.

in the room are spare shoes and my cell: a message from TT. we have to meet him at the bimmer's...there are directions and such...but garbled, and it seems our adventure is not over. as we walk out through the ho/motel's hallways i realize that i have been to the ho/motel before and tell f0o about how i once let the ferrets loose in the hallways -- which just happen to be all off-white and thickly carpeted -- i can still see them running around against the walls.

when f0o and i go to settle the tab they ask about the car...and after our story pity us and take no action (after all, we bought the insurance.)

strange.

something i thought interesting about the dream was the lack of anxiety involved...i was calm, even watching the rental careen over the edge and down. also worth mentioning was the absence of concern for the money i paid for the room and car rental and busses and such.

perhaps this is a sign that i am not going to be worrying so much...there is a plan in action. i will save a certain amount each month and pay a certain amount to loans. everything is properly arranged. the onyl unfortunate piece of this arrangement is the fact that i will have the same amount of spending money as with the other job...just now the loans and savings are being hosted.

methinks piece of mind (literal) is worth this, yes.
