Dream

5:17am CDT Thursday 25 May 2000

I dreamt I had a ticket to The Cure concert (which was last night (how was it Sarah?)) and I wanted to go with Maggie and John. We all rode together and got to the place and it was a long drive. When we were in line, I realized I didn't have my ticket.

I yelled grouchy words and threatened to cry, so the ticket taker let me in.

Once inside, I got separated from Maggie and John. The concert hall was like a large 400 person lecture hall (AH Aud 1, for UH students) with the stage kinda over toward stage right. A grand piano and some microphones were up there. <

The place was pretty packed with audience members and the band was setting up and stuff. They were all old, reminding me of MAD Magazine writers. I saw Maggie down a few rows below me, sitting without John, and I invited her up to sit with me, where I had an empty seat beside me. I had been curled up sleeping across both seats before I saw her. She came up and told me that John had gone off to sit somewhere else without her.

At this point in the dream, I was naked, but no one seemed to care (not even me, really; I surmised I must have been naked on the way in and just didn't notice it, since no one else noticed, so it must be okay.)

The guy then started asking questions of the audience.

"Who invented chocolate?"

"Willy Wonka!" I blurted.

He said "no, Willy Wonka popularized chocolate, but a man named Tom __something) invented it." (Actually, wasn't it discovered by Spain and then sent around the world from there?)

Then he asked, "if chocolate factory machinery is working well, will the chocolate be good?"

I answered "not necessarily, because it takes people to monitor the machines, to get that final touch of goodness."

He said I was correct.

Then Wende and I left the concert (not that she had been there previously) and I was carrying Spot down the hall. He was all being fiesty and trying to bite me, even when I held him by the scruff of the neck.

Then I woke up when Wende asked if I could go feed the cats who had entered my dream by squawking out in the hall.
