Lots of dreams today!
It begins with me having to park my bike somewhere else because I need to leave the parking spot for our guests. So I take my bike and exit the garage (or car hole if you prefer). It’s dark, and it’s raining. I go uphill and find a place where to park my bike. It’s now morning, it isn’t raining, and I meet a former work colleague and his wife, but I don’t want to greet them, so I head back home. I know there’s a shortcut, so I enter a space between two buildings and begin going back downhill on stairs and paths thinking they will take the longer paved route, but I hear him say “oh, there’s a shortcut here” and I hear them going downhill behind me. I reach the bottom and I’d just have to walk a bit and enter my building - which is now a hotel with revolving doors - but I don’t want to risk meeting them at the reception or the elevator so I have a genius idea: take another shortcut, which goes uphill again on another path. This time, they don’t follow me, I see them heading to the hotel from above. I reach the top again, and I think “well, that was idiotic, I’m back to my bike and I have to go down again”, but I find an entrance to the hotel also on a higher floor.
I enter, and I notice it’s actually a cruise ship. The corridors are narrow, the ceiling is low, there’s red carpet everywhere. I find my wife, she tells me to follow the signs to our room, and that everything has been set up by M & R, two friend of ours that will be joining the cruise in a couple of days as soon as the ship reaches their port. There’s paper tape on the floor, creating “lanes” in the corridor. One lane brings to the bathroom, another one to our room, and the third one on M&R’s room. I enter our room, I open a drawer and it’s overloaded with plastic teaspoons. All other drawers seem to have just party appliances - straws, toothpicks, flags on sticks, balloons - and there’s a kettle and a coffee machine. I don’t find it strange, on the contrary I’m pleased that they provided all that stuff.
That’s when my daughter woke us up telling us she had a nightmare. She dreamed that Romeo’s robot (from the show PJ Masks) was chasing her.
From now on, I only have pieces of dreams I can’t reorder. The big and elegant staircase of the ship, that made me think “this is a ship we’ve never been in” (my wife and I used to go quite often on cruises with Costa and took track of which ships we visited). The bar which morphed into a disco by lowering the dance floor. Another former colleague of mine who was trying to speak Italian, telling me he had a great-great-grandfather from Italy. Said colleague and I parachuting out of a helicopter trying to land on the ship.
Then my daughter woke me up again, telling me she had another nightmer. She dreamed Luna Girl’s (from the show PJ Masks) brain. It wanted to turn my daughter into a robot.
