Dreams February 2003

"Talking in Spanish to Japanese Women"    02/19/03 My brother invited me over to his house to meet some of his friends.  It turned out that his friends were all Japanese women who didn't speak English.  I asked them if they spoke Spanish and they said they did.  I was talking very slowly so that they would be able to understand me.  It reminded me of the way a Japanese person would speak to me if she knew I didn't speak Japanese. "Strawberry Syrup and Muppet Porn"    02/19/03 I was visiting M at his apartment.  He was cooking dinner, so I offered to make a strawberry cheesecake for dessert.  I asked him if he had any strawberry syrup.  He replied that he did not, but that I should go to his neighbors' apartment because they would definitely have some.  I went next door and two women in underwear answered the door.  I explained the problem and they invited me into the apartment.  I was waiting for them to go to the kitchen and get the syrup, but instead they stopped in the living room where their other two roommates were and began interrogating me about my relationship with M.  They implied that I didn't want the syrup to make a cheesecake because I really wanted to pour it on M.  I was so annoyed by these people, but M finally came over to see what was going on because I had been gone for quite a while.  We ended up leaving without the strawberry syrup.  For some reason we didn't go back to his apartment.  We walked straight to class together, but we were very late.  I sat beside him and attempted to quietly turn on my laptop.  As I turned it on, a pornographic Muppet movie began playing.  It was very loud and I couldn't seem to turn down the volume.  The whole class stopped and stared at me.  I was so embarrassed. "Shopping for Swimsuits During a Trip to the Gym"    02/17/03 My friend F.  Our mutual friend Yoshi was in the women's fitting room with F and me.  He was seeing if we could hold red balloons between our shoulder blades.  My balloon popped and then someone who worked at the gym asked us to leave the fitting room because we were being disruptive.   "Honeysuckle Grove"    02/14/03 I was leaving a very old looking high school late at night.  I began to descend the large cement steps leading up to it when I noticed that there was a large grove of honeysuckle growing out of the cement on one of the landings.  The yellow and white flowers and waxy green leaves looked so gorgeous under the moonlight.  Seeing honeysuckle reminded me of my childhood when my brother and I would play in the backyard  with honeysuckle growing in the woods on the fringe of our property.  As I got closer I could smell the scent of the flowers, but I realized that they didn't smell as beautiful as I remembered.  Realizing that made me feel very sad.  A friend had been with me as I was walking down the stairs, but as I turned to tell him about my realization I saw that he had disappeared into the night and I was alone. "Looking for Stickers for Pajamas"    02/09/03 My mother and I were shopping at Target.  At first it seemed like I was a clerk who worked there.  My mother asked me if the store sold Nantucket brand pajamas.  I didn't know if the store had them or not, but I helped her look.  She chose something that resembled a sweatsuit with flannel decoration.  She then informed me that she needed to buy stickers to decorate the pajamas with.  I helped her look for those, too.  She was looking for some very specific pages.  I picked up two pages of stickers that I planned to buy for myself, but then I realized that it would be completely ridiculous for me to buy them because I don't actually wear pajamas that much.
