Dream Journal: Kickflip Lessons
Last night I dreamed that I was riding my skateboard home with an empty glass of milk. As I approached my house, I passed a couple of skater kids trying to do tricks on the street a couple of houses away from my house. They started heckling me as I rode past, calling me "old man" and whatnot and taunting me to prove I really could skate. As I approached my house, I did a kickflip, which apparently they had never seen before. They were amazed! They asked me to show them how to do it, but I told them they would have to wait a minute while I went inside and put my empty glass away. I went inside, almost tripped over something in the dark house, noticed my Dad asleep in the living room on a blow-up air mattress, set my glass down in the kitchen, then went back outside. I then sat down on the curb near my house and began explaining to one of the kids how to do a kickflip. I covered the pre-trick foot positions, the need for some speed going into the trick to keep yourself stable, foot positions in the air, the difference between an inside and outside kickflip, which revealed to them that I am goofy-foot which they had also never heard of and I had to explain to them that I'm just old, and then how to land the kickflip. As I went through this very long and elaborately detailed explanation, other kids and teens and young adults had begun to gather and by the time I was done it was like a block party around my house. Toward the end of the explanation this smoking hot girl I know in real life but apparently didn't know in the dream, we'll call her R, came over with another smoking hot girl and attempted to introduce herself to me. She said, "Hey, I hear your name is Dustin, what's your name?" I just kinda quickly looked at her, said "Dustin.", then immediately went back to my explanation. Her friend kinda giggled and they walked away to sit on the porch steps in front of a house across the street from mine. After concluding my explanation with "then you land the kickflip, get rich and famous, and everyone loves you!", I walked over to the ladies who had interrupted me and began talking to them, who then invited me into the house they were in front of. I followed them inside, and the remainder of this dream is inappropriate for general consumption (:
