dreams
Tuesday, September 2

everyone left for school or work. i was alone with my mom. i felt bad that she never really did anything, never saw anything, didn't really seem to have fun. so i pulled her out to spend a day together. when we went out, we were in an area like the inner harbor. we walked along the along, talking.

dreamshift : game/wet grass

i was with a group of guys around my age, and we were trying to find a place to play a boardgame?/cards? but the grass was wet. someone said, "hey, there's an open space in the hallway where no one goes." so went there.

dreamshift : wedding color scheme

a bunch of people were helping jo** what the color scheme of her wedding was going to be. for each color scheme, a dinner plate came into being, right in front of my visual field, and it assumed the color scheme discussed. i suggested: white with green trim. white all around, like white roses, baby's breath (or is it angel's breath?), with dark green olive leaves. for purity. jo** didn't like that idea that much. how about white with maroon trim? the plate changed accordingly. "definitely no more than two colors," someone said, "keep it simple, and it will be beautiful."

dreamshift : prep for wedding

mom and i are standing in front of mirror. she is wearing all red. i have a red sheet in front of my and i hold it behind her like she's wearing a cape, like a superhero. we laugh.

dreamshift : dinner

ji**, m* and i go into a big, fancy buffet for dinner. it is fairly crowded, but ji** spots an open area at the end of a long banquet table. ji** and m* sit down, ready to eat. "wait," i said. "there are plates with food already here. maybe someone is sitting here."

"it's fine," ji** said. "pull up and eat."

i sit down, but then ji** reaches over and eats food from the plates that were already there.

"dude, what are you doing?" i asked.

"well, it's a buffet. if there are plates leftover here with food, they're gonna charge us." he replied.

the chairs around us at the long banquet table began to fill. it was obviously a planned party. everyone seemed to be having a good time, while ji**, m* and i tried to be inconspicuous.

eventually, the obvious leader of the group called for attention. "i'm glad you were all able to make it to the company dinner. i'm happy to see all of you and your families, to meet wives and children." with that, he gestured to ji**, m* and me.

everyone looked at us quizzically, because no one knew us. then someone at the other end of the table stood up. it was d**. with a good-natured smile he said, "sorry if i didn't introduce them earlier, but that's my wife and kids."
