Dream
I was in China and while I was myself (not Chinese), I was dressed like a Chinese person and “walking like one,” which apparently meant walking slowly and with my back slightly arched. I was wearing a pink professional skirt and my hair was in a low bun. I was walking around a convenience store and making eye contact with different patrons and employees over the shelves. I could only see their eyes and not their lower faces. They noticed I wasn’t Chinese but didn’t stare too much or do anything. I remember practicing my Chinese in my head (I speak Mandarin), and saying different random things, trying to get the grammar right. I made particular eye contact with a young woman who had an early 2000s scene style, long swoopy bangs and low rise grey jeans and a purple shirt vest. I walked past her to exit the store. I walked down the street and tried to get the grammar right to say “it looks like it’s going to rain,” to a passersby, but I’m not sure I got it. I said something like 会下雨了吗？which is kind of like “is it going to rain?” I was headed to a hotel and was going to get a room once I arrived. I realized I had left my wallet in the store, so I hurried back, hopeful no one would steal it. Before or after I retrieved it, I noticed a homeless man on the steps of the store with a brand new soft leather lavender backpack. When I came out of the store I saw that he was looking at an American 5 dollar bill plus some Chinese yuan, and I gave him the 5 euros I have in my wallet, and maybe some of my American bills. As I left I hoped he had enough to get a hotel room for one night and wouldn’t have to sleep out in the snow/the elements. When I got to my hotel room I watched Chinese TV and did my best to understand it, trusting that in the next few days my Chinese would come back stronger and I’d even improve in the process. I was comfortable in the hotel room.
Next I dreamed of my sister Marley in a blue athletic high school uniform and she was inside a walled campus area playing ball. My sister Ruby was outside the wall waiting to talk to her. I was far away from both, watching. Ruby looked much younger and not quite like herself. Marley looked like her teenage self, but taller and more athletic. Marley scaled the wall easily in order to catch a ball out of bounds, and threw it back easily. She kept up the game easily, throwing the ball super far and playing even as Ruby talked to her.
Next I saw a woman in a white pirate shirt attempting to move such that her shirt covered her breasts, but through her top I saw her very full breasts and nipples. She was being coy about her breasts but was a very confident butch lesbian with shoulder length red hair. I thought it was so attractive that I could see those parts of her even though she was butch and not a part of her own body that she emphasized. I had gone to bed the night before admiring a butch lesbian comedian and imagining breasts, hips, and waist under her masculine clothes, and how sexy I think butch women are. Like, there’s a woman under there!
Next I saw part of a Beyoncé video where she danced to a song about Texas (perhaps part of one of her real songs). Her toned stomach and navel were prominent as she danced largely on the floor with other women. I also dreamed of a map with directions from my location to Austin, and that being 16 hours. A significant portion of the directions, maybe 1/6 of the route, was on foot. When I woke up, I checked the map and the directions to drive all the way to Austin and it was about 14 hours 45 minutes, but getting to Houston from my current location was exactly 16 hours and 16 minutes. Interesting!
