Dreams 02-20-04 two



I woke up at 5:30 with this dream,

I apparently was working

in downtown Chicago again,

and it was night time

and I got to the building I worked in

with a coworker.

I don’t know what I did

at my job,

and I don’t know what

this big black woman did

that was at the building

at the same time as me.

Well anyway, we were standing there,

because the building was locked,

but you know we could get in

because we worked there,

we must have had keys or something,

and the lady said,

“There’s a fire

on the fourteenth floor.

We can’t go in.”

And there was no fire that I could see,

and I didn’t know how

this lady could know there was a fire.

But no one was there,

and I wondered of we should go in,

but she left,

and I walked away with her.



We were walking through downtown

so we could get to our train stations,

and I knew my train was an hour long

for me to get home,

and I think I wanted someone I knew

to join me

so I wouldn’t have to deal with

being alone for the entire ride home.



Then I went back to sleep

for another hour

and there was more to my dream

when I woke up at 6:30.



I seemed to have picked up

on where I left off in my dream.

I was walking through downtown at night

with this lady, and I started talking about

things in Chicago I remembered.

I mentioned that

there was a building on Wacker Drive,

north of Randolph or Lake,

in that east-west curve

before it goes north again,

and the building had huge windows,

a few stories tall,

and they had huge statues in their lobby.

I remembered this because at Christmas time

the people from the building would put

big Santa caps on the statues

for everyone to see through the windows.

And then for some reason I talked about

meeting Charlie Trotter at my old job,

he spoke at our trade show,

and I was reading an Ayn Rand book,

‘Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal,’

and he started talking to me about Ayn Rand.

And then I said that he was

a really well-known chef,

because Emeril Lagasse was there too,

but this was before he had his own show,

and Charlie Trotter was as well known

as Emeril Lagasse was.

Well, anyway, I then remembered

that while I was at one of our trade shows

we had dinner at Nola’s,

and Nola was Emeril Lagasse’s wife’s name.

That was when I woke up.
