--Ballroom Blitz (Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman)
I know part of my dreams were influenced/corrupted by my playing Funny Friends last night. Brief flashes of SushiMark and Baker with kids while I was trying to get home.
I found myself wandering down CHapel Hill Road with a bin full of leaves and as I walked, leaves spilled out and onto the yard and roads. At first I was worried about losing the leaves and people would be mad at the mess. But as I continued on, I noticed there were leaves everywhere and I suddenly didn't care.
It was then I noticed one of the houses had drawings on the side of it. THe drawings/photos were of odd orbits of heavenly bodies and as I watched the pictures came into motion and one of the bodies slammed into the central planet. I turned my head away, eyes to the ground, and I found a similiar scene being reenacted at my feet.
I shut my eyes and stuffed my hands into my pocket to avoid the scenes of cosmic destruction. To my surprise I found a letter. Calm returned and I pulled out the letter to read it. It was from JBlum, whom I haven't seen in 15 years.
In the letter she spoke of being in pubs and how she loved the pubs in England and somehow it all reminded her of me. It left me with a sense of longing/nostalgia and ponderment. Then I awoke
This is not the first time I've had a dream about JBlum. As I said, I haven't seen her in probably 15 years, but back in the day we were very close friends. She was almost like a little sister to me (though she is a few days older than me) and I hear that she is married with a kid nowadays. I guess the reason she still haunts my dreams is because of the way we parted.
She was dating another friend of ours and the three of us were roomates. When their relationship ended, it ended badly and she fled the house and both of our lives. I think I was so used to being her confidant and moral support and friend, that their break up and her dissappearance crushed me more than either one of them.
Isn't it strange, at least for me, that we have dreams about people/situations about which we feel we don't have closure.
