In the dream, I stood outside a small brick building, an old library. I was after one specific book. I entered the library and walked to where I expected to find the book, wondering if I would be allowed to check out a reference book. The interior of the library consisted of one small room with only a few low shelves clustered in the middle. There were only a few books and magazines scattered on the largely empty shelves. I decided to ask for help.<\/p>\n
I walked over to a group of people, men and women, some seated at desks, some standing around chatting. They ignored me. I tried to make eye contact. Eventually, I said to one, \u201cCan you help me find a book?\u201d \u201cYou\u2019ll have to talk to Michele,\u201d she replied, referring to the woman standing next to her. Michele came around from behind a desk and walked with me towards the sparse shelves. \u201cWhich book do you want?\u201d \u201cStrunk & White.\u201d She laughed, \u201cWe haven\u2019t had that in a hundred years, I bet.\u201d \u201cI know you had it \u2013 I used it! Nevermind.,\u201d I said, turning away.<\/p>\n
I stood next to a door marked Emergency Only. Next to that door were two other doors. I could not figure out which of these doors was an exit. Although they were obviously doors, I didn\u2019t see handles or hinges. Between the two doors was a square opening. I decided to go that way.<\/p>\n
I was descending, but this wasn\u2019t a tunnel or a stairway. Instead, the passage consisted of a series of restaurant booths, each a little lower than the previous. I climbed over the vinyl benches, descending. The last booth was occupied by a young couple. \u201cI\u2019m not sure how I\u2019m supposed to dismount here,\u201d I said as I picked my way around them.<\/p>\n
Next to the last booth was a serving station. A waitress appeared and said something. \u201cExcuse me?\u201d, I responded. \u201cI said, \u2018You look like you\u2019ve put on some weight.\u2019,\u201d she said, smiling. I said to her, \u201cI wish I needed a girlfriend \u2013 you\u2019d be good one.\u201d I woke up.<\/p>\n
peace,
mjh<\/p>\n
PS: Many people doggedly follow Strunk & White. I do not.<\/p>\n
