Dreams 8/10


 Dreamed I was visiting an old estate waiting for what, I'm not entirely sure. It might've been a cave tour or something educational. Anyway, I was sitting and waiting in a sort of sun room or parlor with a girl to my right. I was digging through my green art nouveau tapestry bag and pulled out a hot pink bag of fish tank gravel only it was very light like foam. It would float. A matching fuchsia spider, about the size of a fifty cent piece, crawled out and unfolded like a lantern. She was very pretty with yellow almond shaped eyes with black pupils and little minty colored ladylike lips. She folded herself back up into what looked like a dumpling, fortune cookie, or cupcake wrapper. I found two bags in my purse made sure they were plump with air and put her back in my bag. I said I had to go to the bathroom thinking I wanted to smoke, and a woman working there told me that it was in the cellar around the bend in the left hand corner. She said I'd see some sixteenth-century dishes stacked up. The dusky cellar was full of all sorts of old furniture and odds and ends. I thought I'd found the bathroom, there was a man with dark hair waiting there. It looked like an old cupboard, which is what it was, not the bathroom. The bathroom was at the other end. There was another employee in there, so I was thinking, no smoke. The toilet was just a green porcelain bowl filled with water that you had to stand over. When I woke I heard Kate Bush singing "Playing Canasta" in my head.
