I had a really strange dream last night. I am going to see how much of it I can remember:
It starts out with a visit to the doctor's office. Only it's not really a doctor's office, it's the office I work in, desks and computers everywhere. Nothing about it looks like I'm seeing the doctor, no front desk, no nurses, nothing. I'm talking to the doctor out in the hallway, just standing in the middle of the hall. Apparently I have one leg that is shorter than the other , a few of inches. That's why I'm there. The doctor moves into an office a few feet away and I follow them. I don't know if the doctor is a man or a woman. This doesn't really have any importance other than a lot of people are genderless in my dreams. Well, not really genderless, I guess, but it's not something I notice or need to know. Anyway, I follow the doctor over to the computer and watch them while they order some fancy new shoes online. They tell me that I'll have them soon or whatever. These shoes are suppose to help make walking more comfortable for me. Before I leave the office I'm given a blue handicap sticker for my car. Ok, thanks... on to scene two.
I'm pulling into a shopping center parking lot, a Target kind of place. There is a handicap space open and then a space 8 or 9 down. I choose the non-handicap space. I'm thinking that it's ridiculous to take the space, I've been just fine without it for years. Someone else will need it more. I get out of the car to go inside and even though I've had this shorter leg my entire life (or at least that's how it seems), the pain is so amazing and feels like nothing I've ever experienced. It's a really terrible pressure on my longer leg's knee, having to bend too much to get my other foot to the ground. It's weird.
I'm in a friends car. I am opening a box with my new shoes in it that just came in the mail. One pair are knee high hooker boots, the other shorty, stupid 80s looking boots. The 80s boots are leather, so I have to send them back. The taller boots are Vegan safe. They are made out of some material I don't know in the real world, but in the dream, they are good for Vegans. I put on the boots. My friends and I are about the walk somewhere. When I take my first step it is so awesome. It feels like I'm floating or something. No pain, no bent knee, it's just this wonderfully smooth walk that I have never had the pleasure of taking. It's something as simple as the inside of one being higher off the ground than the other, but it's nice. Then I realize I'm only wearing my panties and a shirt. We are about to walk somewhere! I'm thinking that I can't walk around in my panties if I'm going to where these hooker boots! That would be extra hooker-y, so I have to make a quick skirt out of a flannel shirt in the back seat...
