Enchanted Cottage of My Dreams

mallorys_cameraDREAMED I was at Kim and Marybeth’s house – only it wasn’t really their house, it was the most amazing, multi-roomed cottage by the sea and each room was filled with treasures. Only Kim was there. He and Marybeth were moving out and he said I could have the house, and I was thrilled – I had always wanted it. But the man I was living with – Ben? In the dream he was faceless – said it was impractical, that we couldn’t live there. There were cats too, with complex personalities, playing, interacting.
Then suddenly I was in a train. There was some problem with the car – if I drove it to where I wanted to go, I had no way of getting the car back so I had to take the train. I was waiting for Kim to join me, but Kim was late, the train was about to leave. A mutual friend (no one I recognize) was standing on the platform talking to me: Kim was just leaving the house now; he had a horrible, deep, six-inch gash in his upper thigh; he could barely walk. That would necessitate a change in plans. The door to the train was closed so I asked the friend to climb in through the window. He was standing by the window poised to jump into the train car when I awoke.
For a moment after I woke up I was disoriented. I wanted desperately to be back in the dream space.

Beautiful day yesterday but around noon Ben – who has a morbid preoccupation with weather, a trait I incorporated to good effect into the you-almost-got-that-fellowship-suckah story -- texted me to tell me excitedly that a Nor’easter had just formed off the coast of Virginia. Supposed to snow six inches tonight and tomorrow. FUCK.
I’m way behind on work. Sigh.
