So I am one of those people that dreams a lot, and I remember most of them. I dream in vivid detail, full color, sound, smell, even. I swear I even have soundtracks in teh backgroud like it was a movie or something. Many of my dreams are stressful or strange. I have had some doozy nightmares about my kids that have left me in a state of total infj withdrawal.
But last night I had a dream, that was completely out there, yet left me with the most sensual feelings... I'm not a great writer but I want to try to get it down.
Enter girl on a city street at night. A nice area with shops, lampposts, clean windows. It has rained recently, and the lights shine off the wet pavement in a soft glow. Nice cars line the curb, and a soft breeze rustles the leaves in the trees lining the walk. The girl is me, yet a stranger when I glance in the shop windows: tall and lythe, with long blond hair pulled up in a pony tail; a skirt and a short, light tan trench-style coat with a tie belt. Black high heeled boots just past the ankle, chic and tasteful.
There are white Christmas lights, yet it is balmy, and I feel energized and happy.
But something is off, and I slowly realize that I am the only person there. My bouncy walk slows as I start to become more aware of my surroundings, taking in the shadowy places, the empty streets. No cars. No people. No noise. Time seems to slow further and as I turn from the street to the sidewalk again, he is there.
He is tall, at least 6'2". His hair is as dark as his eyes. He needs a shave and his hair is tousled, wavy, and a tad too long. He is handsome, but it is over shadowed by the wrinkles in his red t-shirt and crumpled denim pants, the general air of dishevelment. His face is almost expressionless, except for a nervous restlessness in his eyes. The shake in his hand is barely discernible as he points a small revolver at me.
