dreams (cont'd)

in my last blog, i described what, to me, is a hilarious, nonsensical dream about a psycho father going berserk because of an overdue blockbuster vhs. the second dream i had, i shall call: La Destination

La Destination started off with me driving on the 95 to get to Frenchglen, Harney County, Oregon. i was going to see Dallen, of course. then, my cell phone rang. it was my best friend, Bree. she was asking where i was because apparently, i was going to meet her in Oregon (even though in real life, we live about 3 miles from each other). "where are you?" she asked. i looked out my left window to find a sign, anything to help me navigate my way, when suddenly i saw this ginormous tornado. this tornado was massive. it was bigger than anything i've ever seen in a cartoon, in an action movie, anything. "i'm by that giant tornado," i say indifferently. 

"oh, okay then, i'll see you in a couple hours," she replies. a couple hours later (chronodreaming) i arrive at dallen's ranch. i park next to all the trucks lined up in the driveway. i walk into the house, and Bree is reclined on a lazy boy, watching tv. "where's dallen?" i ask. she gets up, "i have something to show you before you see him."

so we walk back out. over the front porch. we pass the pond in front of the house. we pass the garage, where dallen's little brother is fixing the motorcycles. we pass the Roaring Springs sign at the entrance of the ranch. that's when she hands me a backpack, and presses a button. the backpack suddenly shoots out a giant hot air balloon. it looks like an open parachute. "strap this on," she says. i do. slowly....thrillingly.... the hot air balloon i am strapped to starts to lift me off the ground. 

i am floating over the entire ranch, and suddenly seeing tulips. tulips EVERYWHERE. i didn't see these tulips when i was walking around on the ground. i could only see them when i was up in the air. there were tulips covering every inch of the ranch. the house was completely engulfed in tulips. and suddenly, i spot dallen. standing on the ground, " do you like it?" he asks. i am ecstatic and can't wait to get down to hug him.


finally, i descend. "it was scary up there! but it was beautiful. thank you."

and then i woke up! all i could think was.... well...he would.
