People: Laura and Ziggy
Featured: a bus
(Just a fragment of a much longer dream, but it was interrupted when we got up to see some aurora activity, and I promptly forgot the rest.) I’m in Santa Monica with my sister Laura and Ziggy. We’re walking back to our parents’ house and are tired, so we decide to take the bus the rest of the way (one block). Laura gets on and pays and walks to the back of the bus. I get on with Ziggy, but have a hard time dealing with the leash and getting my money out of my wallet. I finally hand the driver a ten dollar bill, and am surprised when he only gives me back a five and some change. It turns out we’re on an express, which costs more. Plus, by the time it stops again we have a ways to walk back to the house.
Annotations:
We grew up (mostly) in Santa Monica, and my folks still live there. The streets in the dream looked like the ones on 20th between Montana and Marguerita, near our house. My parents were telling me the other day about how the’ve been taking the bus a lot lately. Also, I just posted a comment on my friend Seana’s blog (about words—very worth checking out), on a post that had to do with her also living in Santa Monica as a child, so it’s been on my mind.
Both our dreams had something cost way more than it does. What's up with that?
ReplyDeleteAnd we both had Ziggy with us, too.
