dream: blue leaves

dreamed june 15.

the first part i remember of this rambling dream is that i am at work in an office. i have an intern, a young woman with sweet energy. we go outside in a very clean urban downtown to go to a drugstore to get something (not drugs).

the scene shifts. it's fairly early on a saturday morning. i'm with hannah/lela/little girl. i have a car, and she's going to get in. where the passenger puts her feet, blue leaves are piled up. i gaze at them intently. they are multi-pointed, like japanese maple or red oak leaves, only blue, and curled up, drying, but not crunchy dry. beautiful and unusual.

i scoop the leaves out of the car so the little girl will have a place for her feet. under the leaves are the little girl's dirty clothes and other odds and ends, including a car battery.

now i am on a bicycle. i realize i really need to find a boyfriend, so i'm going to take the little girl (now clearly hannah) home to her mom, lela. we will stop by the sonic on the way home and get some food to take to lela.

i start pedalling my bike north to the intersection of congress and riverside. the city is very clean and orderly. i stop and wait for hannah, who's running to catch up with me.

i believe i will find a boyfriend that day, and i know just where to look--the mountain out by lake travis that has two campgrounds. i've been to the lower one in past dreams. i know about the upper one but have yet to visit it.

blue leaves can be an adjective and noun or noun and verb. typical dream pun!

my extinct miata is sitting in my driveway with a car battery in the passenger footwell.

on eNLP weekends, we've stopped by the sonic so glenda could get something.

if only finding a boyfriend were that quick!
