My arms feel incredibly weak and heavy, and I’m still drowsy even though it’s late in the morning. Lana Del Rey’s Dark Paradise is stuck in my head… really? *yawn*
The string of dreams last night was weird, I had to leave my Hyundai on the shoulder of the SR-51 for some reason and there was construction and bad traffic. I was driving my second car and it was either a Kia or a Mitsubishi and I can’t remember (but it’s funny cause I’ve owned both) and was trying to figure out how to retrieve my first car but couldn’t drive both. Tasha called and said she saw one of my cars on the freeway and offered to help me retrieve it sometime when I was ready. I drove over to this house and parked by this fenced off area, it looked a lot like the west side, and walked in and past Dyllan’s gf from Idaho and she said hi and was pretending to be nice when she was being nosy. I knocked on Tasha’s door and she wasn’t in so I left, and walked out of this large building. This was like City Center. The buildings were large and led lit, I was trying to figure out which route to take to get to the part of the 51 the car was on so I could at least check on it, and from that part of town it was tricky, the guy who walked out with me and that first chick said they normally wouldn’t touch it from here and that’s a Tasha question or a Tasha skill, and I was all okay and decided to drop it until I saw her.
I was in some small office talking to a girl through IM who was worried about her sick friend and his medical equipment. Her mother was in the room with me along with a few other people. I don’t remember who I was with but I think I was tagging along with them. The girl I was talking to was worried because the device wasn’t functioning at 100% capacity, and I gave an analogy on a consumerable like a lithium battery, how it’ll keep working even if it’s capacity degrades over time, and it’ll eventually need to be replaced. She got really sad because it was expensive, and I told her it’s not there yet, he’ll still be okay for now, and this was normal but that eventually he’d need a replacement, and she felt a little better after showing her how to check on its levels.
I was in what looked like a Safeway or a Vons, and this guy was making some comparison about going to a Starbucks every day versus making your own shitty Starbucks coffee yourself and the cost savings, and I like going to Starbucks sometimes so fuck that guy, but I get the point he was making on home brew, anyway.. there was a table set up against a wall like the last aisle was missing and there were two large bowls, one filled with what looked like 5 spice pork belly, the other with what I’m guessing was bbq chicken? They asked me to grab the pepper while I was up and kept looking for a container with black pepper, brought it over and started shaking it over the food, and it came out red.. like paprika or cayenne red so I stopped and sat back down.
I was walking on the sidewalk in the day time with this lady who looked kind of like Dee and kind of like my 5th grade school teacher, she had to go across the street to grab something she’d forgotten and said she’d meet up with me in the garage on the 6th floor, and I said yeah as a confirmation while getting on the elevator, and across the street she yelled yes mom! As a half joke so I yelled it back to her and she giggled. The elevator was weird, and like this coral goldish pinkish color. There was an older dude who was up in my space and I turned around which cause him to bump into me and he apologized. There was a lady standing to my right in a lab coat and this guy was explaining this crazy medical issue to her that this other girl had, I didn’t know what their relation was. But when the doctor heard the name she was all ahhh that case was hard to break, she’d already heard about it and flipped her notes back a few pages. We exited the elevator and I was in some medical center instead of a garage (but I’d forgotten about it).
I was sitting on a cushion outside looking at this huge screen that wrapped around the area I was in. It was digital, it was displaying a green scenery to blend in, idk if we were in the shade or something. But they were talking about dolphins, and then said they had penguins and I was all omg I wanna go in the zoo and see the penguins, and this chick mentioned something about koalas and I was all.. we don’t like those anymore, and a koala plushy fell from the sky out of nowhere onto the cushion I was sitting on and I was all.. the koala toy is kinda cute.
And you sat next to me and you were wearing a red tshirt, and your hair was almost as long as mine is right now, and we were talking about the park and then you mentioned something about an aunt in Texas who was about to have a baby. Like you had four people you knew in Texas who were cool, and you and this aunt were so close in age she was more like a cousin. I laid down next to you and looked up at the ceiling, we were in a dim lit room on a bed that was low to the ground, like it was still daytime but the curtains were so thick it wasn’t too bright. We held each other and became intimate, you were unzipping my dress from the back and we pulled your shirt off. I looked to my right and noticed the closet had mirrored doors, and in the reflection I saw myself but not you, and I turned my head and buried my face into your right shoulder, holding on tight, if I looked ahead I could still see you, and feel you, and just hold on. I refused to look anywhere else around the room because I was scared you’d disappear. The environment was weird, there were features from like my last three apartments that kept changing.
