I stayed up late finishing The Good Place, watched the newest Station 19, and got part of the way through GA and had to pause and crash out. I guess I’ve been after a lighter kind of escapism. Usually I consume a lot of dystopian or apocalyptic media (finished Altered Carbon and Lost In Space) and still love those genres but The Good Place left me all warm and fuzzy and I’ll probably look for more media that has that kind of tone and comedy.
I had a really messy dream this morning but don’t remember much other than towards the end I was walking down the street with my first bf and it was windy af so I put my arm around his waist and he he wrapped an arm around my shoulder so we could keep each other warm while waiting to cross the street. I noticed our reflection in a window and saw I was in a dress with a pretty full skirt. He was in a thick trench coat, and when the light changed and we could have crossed the intersection he turned us around and we continued down the street instead of crossing over. It was weird.
Before that was weird too, I was in some little room at some small business, I wasn’t sure if it was a laundromat or something else but I had some vending machine open and was pulling cash from it. Some of the bills didn’t make sense, there were a lot of ones and fives, but a couple $50 bills were in there with some $20’s. Somewhere when I was part of the way through I realized this was the wrong machine or something and realized I was stealing, freaked out inside, and promptly left. I ended up at some large venue for what looked like a concert but it seemed like rehearsal and no one was singing. I walked down near the stage and wandered off the side where I found my iPads and their cables and grabbed them to take off. Which eventually lead to walking with the first bf.
I haven’t seen or spoken to him in many many years. He just popped up on Marco Polo the other day so maybe that’s why my brain decided to play with this. It was odd. No animosity or hard feelings, and there was a sense of caring in the dream but no intimacy or romantic context.
