last night's dream

[mellowgolden]

I was in this grassy hillish place with a lot of other people, friends I think. An ex-boyfriend of mine passed by, looked straight at me and said very forcefully "I don't care about you at all." I laughed in his face. There was a big huge structure that was very open and let lots of light through. It seemed like an old barn but much bigger. At first it was late afternoon or dusk, and later it was night but there were some electric lights. During this portion of the dream the grassy area was flooded and the other people and I were slowly wading through the water. It was sometimes knee-high and sometimes chest-high, and there was mud on the bottom which was very thick and slimy. The feeling of my feet in the mud was kind of icky/scary, but I found that I enjoyed it if I didn't think about it. I think I was walking/wading with Mark and holding his hand at this point which also helped me enjoy the mud. Later it was light out again, and I think the water was gone, and we were sitting on a high part of the grass, everyone sort of heaped together, laughing. I liked the grassy place and barn structure thing, the darkness and the lights. It all felt good except the slight danger of the mud.

I know there were a lot of other things in the dream, too, but I can't remember them. My dreams don't usually follow any logic or narrative- they're just random collections of images and sensations and emotions. The main thing that stood out last night was the feeling of the water and mud. It was so vivid and felt very real. I wanted to write it up so I'd remember it.
