Dreams 12/6/12

Janet Kuypers
12/6/12

I was in my house,
and I heard a bunch of men
come in through the front door.
I recognized the voices,
and I was near the bathroom
at the end of the hall,
so I walked into the bathroom.
I pretty much closed the door
when I heard my blond friend
(which I haven’t seen in forever)
start talking loudly to another guy
(I want to say that guy was short,
and fatter, and he had black hair,
and I don’t even know the guy,
but that’s probably all irrelevant),
well, he was saying something like,
“Come over here so I can
kiss you and slobber all over you—”

And this really surprised me,
he’s not gay, and he’s not extroverted,
so this really confused me
as I tried to keep the bathroom door
closed as I listened to him
while I stood in the dark.

But I didn’t realize that he just
walked right to the bathroom
I was hiding in and use the facilities,
so he opened the door and saw me there.
So, I said I was just coming in,
and I reached over to turn on the light,
and the light did not come on.
So then I tried the next switch,
then the next switch,
and none of the lights were working.
So I left, apparently to get a bulb,
but first I walked to the bedroom
and saw you, and I apparently
forgot about the light bulbs
and told you what I heard the blonde say.
And your response was very
nonchalant, and you said that this
was normal, that men experiment
with being gay every once in a while.
And really,
that was the most ludicrous thing
you could have ever said,
and it woke me up.
