Dream 14: Chase I know that it's Valentine's Day. I am in Sam's car and he's driving with my sister in the front seat and my mom in the back with me. I have a really vague impression that there is someone else there too but I can't see him/her clearly. We arrive at some sort of chinese mall/plaza and we get out, I also get my backpack filled with school stuffs out of the trunk. I don't know why I have it with me. We're walking across the parking lot towards the bunch of buildings. I remember that I have a piece of chinese pastry/cake in my pocket wrapped with saran wrap from a mean earlier that day. It's in the pocket of my light black coat/jacket (I know which jacket it is that I'm talking about and if you see me anytime in the near future, you'll know it too). I remember walking towards a bank intending to get out some money but suddenly, I'm not sure what branch it is that I bank at. Suddenly, we're all downtown. I see sister and Sam get ito a cabn about a block ahead of us and then my mom gets into one as well leaving me alone so I just shrug and get into one as well. I remember that we were on Winter Street. The road splits up ahead and while my sister and mom's cab go to the left, mine goes to the right. I tell the driver, an indian man, to go left and "follow that cab." As we make a quick u-turn, I remember seeing a pile of snow getting rooster-tailed upwards like a fan. As we continue, following the 4 cabs in front of us that had appeared out of nowhere, I explain to my cabby that we're following the other cab because my mom is in one and my sister is in the other. He asks me why we didn't just all get into one cab and I tell him that I don't know and bitch a bit about how they couldn't be assed to wait for me. We catch up to the several cabs driving but none of them are the right ones and I decide that I would find a payphone and call my mom's cellphone to see where she is. We stop at some chinese dessert shop to find a phone. Suddenly, I'm in line and odder still is that the entire cab is in there with me. I'm waiting in line inside the store but inside the cab at the same time if you can dig it. I see Juliette in line as well, or just getting out of it. She's holding a little bowl filled with ice and chocolate ice cream. She is with some friends and though she looks my way, I can't really tell if she doesn't see me or if she's ignoring me. I get out of the cab and tap her on the shoulder and she turns to me with that oddly endearing 'mermer?' noise that she tends to make when puzzled. I ask if I could use her cell for a second to call my mom and the piece of cake falls out of my pocket and onto the floor. One of her friends picks it up and laughs at me as he hands it back. I feel very embarassed and shove it back into my pocket, calling it the 'travelling pastry.' Juliette smiles. Okay...how odd was that? |
