DAMN Weird
Day off college today because i feel like it - or rather that i don't feel like it at all... bleaurgh.
Had a very nice dream, i did!
I can't remember what most of it was about, but that does not bother me. What i can remember is walking around a large kinda marble-floored building, like the touchwood or poplar way things in solihull being turned into hotels or something.
Anyway, i find myself in this big building, and down a corridor i see: Anna, about to jump into a lift (elevator)!
I think "how nice to see my favourite person from college in the outside world (what coincidence)!" and i just run to meet her as fast as my legs can carry her, because i have a foul feeling in my gut that the elevator doors will open and that i'd miss her.
I get to the elevator, and there's a small queue, with Anna at the front.
"Anna!" i shout, nothing happens. "Anna, hi!" i try again, she turns around :)
"Alex, hi! What are you doing here?" she asks as she steps through the crowd of people waddling into the elevator.
"I have no idea" i say, as i shake her hand. For some reason, she walked over to me, and offered her hand, as if i were to shake it.
I don't want to shake hands, though - shaking hands is what i do at the end of a good game of pool (how masculine) or when i meet a distant male relative. I thought that shaking Anna's hand was a bit impersonal, since i'd like to think that i know Anna better than a simple fucking handshake. What's a step up from "handshake" on the list of welcoming gestures? i wonder, and i open my arms wide for a hug.
She accepts my hug!
I ask her if she is feeling better, as we catch an elevator (to ourselves) and wind up in Anna's apartment (just a dream one).
From what i can remember, what ensued was a conversation that we have shared before (the details of which have faded from memory), mostly revolving around Anna's bout of ill-health. I'm sure i was sending lots of "get well soon" vibes.
Anyway - for some reason i had to leave at the very end of this dream, and i open my arms again and give Anna a big goodbye hug.
That put a smile on my face.
And i wake up, feeling very sickly (maybe i caught Anna's plague when i hugged her! :p)
