Dreams

Night before last I dreamed there was a building with a big sign: "Stop Abortion Now!!!"
Some girls I knew from highschool stopped their minivan and the youth leader asked if I was going. They were all wearing wedding dresses. I pulled away and ended up at a party in a giant pumpkin on a stick. That's right. It was halloween and the coolest thing was that the woodburning stove in the pumpkin made its carved face glow. The party was surprisingly quiet and cozy.
And the day after halloween, there was another party. A few people drove into the woods and parked there. Some girl, wearing a black dress, veil pulled over her face came up to me nervously. "Wow, you're brave. I wish I had the courage to do what you do."
"It's alright", I said. "You've just got to slowly ease yourself into it."

And tonight.
I'd driven all the way to a conference on songwriting, but I got there only to find out it was one day long and more like a sleepover than anything else. I'd wasted all those resources getting there and it wouldn't lead to anything. Just like my time at the university and my last job. The girl I was sharing my hotel room with was sympathetic. She wanted to be helpful, but couldn't help.
So I started home and on the way there, there was a parking lot. There were two parade-float sized cakes on wheels. A white one and a pink ruffled one. I was supposed to get the white one ready, but I wasn't happy because it looked boring and I've never liked cakes. Then it started rolling away, so I chased it and then it would roll away again. I spent the rest of my dream having fun chasing a cake around a parking lot.
