Dreams November 2002

"Moving to a Beautiful City and Seeing a Car Show" I was looking for an apartment in the most gorgeous city I have  ever seen.  I have no idea which city I was in, but it reminded me of what I imagine Monaco to be like.  It was extremely sunny and warm.  The city was built among hills, which seemed to match perfectly with the architecture.  I went to a tall white apartment building which appeared to be immaculate.  I have never seen a building that looked so pristine on the outside.  Before I even looked at the first apartment I knew that I definitely wanted to live there.  Calvin had come with me to look at apartments because he was going to live with me.  We walked into the building and discovered that the lower floors were housing a new car show.  Even the cars were beautiful.  I began to think that celebrities' lives must be this beautiful everyday, except that celebrities lacked the comfort of my anonymity.  I knew that if I moved into that apartment building my life would become beautiful. "Being Friends with 16 Year-Olds" I was in a large building that was a store, restaurant, and school combined.  I was at the restaurant talking with my partner about an assignment that we had to work on for school.  He told me that he hadn't done the assignment and didn't intend to do it.  There was a teenage boy in the restaurant that heard our conversation.  My partner left and the boy walked over and said that he would help me do the assignment.  He seemed so beautiful and mature for someone so young.  I couldn't resist asking him how old he was.  He informed me that he was 16.  Despite his age, I felt as if I were falling in love with him.  Later I went shopping in the store and met a girl there who was also shopping.  She struck up a conversation with me, which eventually led to the revelation that she was also only 16 years old.  She was extremely friendly and seemed to be the type of person that I might want to be; it was as if she was my new best friend.  We continued shopping together in a store that appeared to be similar to Victoria's Secret.  I noticed that she was very girly and not as mature or as serious as the 16 year-old boy I had met earlier.  She helped me pick out a pair of angel wings that I had desperately wanted which happened to be 40% off.  I couldn't resist buying them, but the girl attempted to further convince me by telling me that men would think the wings were attractive.  I couldn't understand why people who were 16 seemed so much like me because I felt as if I was very old compared to other people who were my age.  Other people in my age group seemed to be having more fun than I was because I had such a serious personality.  I liked spending time with the 16 year-olds because it made me feel like I was a fun person. "Modeling, Going to a Car Show, and Getting a Haircut" It was a weekend and a friend and I were completing some errands.  First, we went to a large auditorium where students were walking down the aisles as if the aisles were fashion runways.  The person in charge of this event thought that I wanted to be involved.  He asked me to walk down the runway, so I did.  He seemed shocked that I knew how to walk.  I told him that I had taken modeling classes.  He encouraged me to come back to participate in the actual show.  I didn't want to, but my friend encouraged me to do it.  A boy I knew from school was sitting in the back of the auditorium.  He began speaking to me in sign language.  I was shocked that he knew sign language, but then I discovered that he was only pretending to know it.  Nevertheless, I was able to understand him.  He told me that he liked the way I walked.  I felt disturbed by his comment because I felt as if he was stalking me, so my friend and I left.  We were supposed to go to a car show, but I said that I just wanted to get my hair cut first.  We went to the first salon we found.  It was a general store and a hair salon combined.  There were two Cuban women who were styling people's hair.  I asked one of them if she would cut my hair.  She told me that they didn't give haircuts; they only curled and styled hair.  I argued with her that she should cut my hair anyway, but she refused.  My friend and I left to find another salon.  I don't know if we ever went to the car show. "A Gift for a Friend" I was at the Miami airport browsing at the gift shops.  I decided to pick up a gift for a friend, because I knew there was a holiday coming up soon.  I had never given him gifts for other occasions, but I decided to surprise him.  I bought a gift box of dried fruit and nuts.  I wasn't really sure if this was an appropriate gift, but I decided that he would like it.  I went to his house and told him that I had a surprise for him.  He told me that he had a gift for me.  I was very disappointed because I really hadn't expected him to give me anything.  The gift he had purchased for me was a very expensive diamond ring.  I felt like my gift for him was completely inappropriate.  I told him this, but he assured me that my gift to him would be fine.  I also began to feel that I wasn't a good friend to him because I didn't understand the way he celebrates holidays.
