last night, i was in the middle of an intense conversation with a friend, in a dream. the weirdest part? she rang me at exactly 1am. just to say hi. it made my heart warm. it made me feel okay. i needed that.
it was a crazy, loud and noisy dream. we were out together (we have not done that in so many years now, and she lives overseas) and dancing, abusing the dj for songs we wanted, and laughing our heads off at our lives. we were talking so much, and it was good.
this intense conversation, i can only remember pieces of it from my dream so i thought i’d put them here.
1. i wish for you the stars
/i know you do/
2. i’m not here to talk about shoes. i’m here to talk about you.
/yep. but, let’s start with the shoes. truth is, she did say this to me once/
3. you know, you’d think with all the arseholes around, God would start making babies be born with a bogroll in their hand.
/the weirdest part about that one, is that it is something she would say/
4. i’m so happy things turned out the way they were meant to be.
/i have no idea what she was referring to now/
5. stripey socks make up for bland days.
/that can only be a reference to my stripey black and white knee-highs. a common favourite, since loaned to an alleged friend, and never returned/
6. it’s funny that we’re mothers. people would never have guessed.
/it’s even funnier that it’s impossible for us to have had this conversation ever in the same room. online, perhaps, but never in person/
7. jealousy is merely a really ugly way of saying “i wish i were like you”.
/she’s right, you know. she usually is/
8. so much anger, cath…what are you going to do with it?
/i really, really don’t know/
9. we leave at seven. i don’t if there’s breakfast involved.
/that’s just random/
10. look, i found my purse and in it was the tickets from that festival, with a packet of nuts.
/the first day i met her was at a festival, and she was eating nuts. true story. it was at this moment in my dream that i woke up to my phone ringing and it was her/
