More Weird Dreams

I dreamt last night that I was with a friend who was having a medical crisis (which was tied-in to a thought I had in real life about expanding the system of home testing beyond blood sugar to other measurements -- I think I'm onto something!), and he had to call his doctor while I went to go get something (I don't remember what) which involved me running up to the roof of the building (but again, like in the dream where I was looking for apartments, everything was really out of proportion and exaggerated...like the "roof" was really many MANY huge apartment buildings long, in terraces, so there were many levels and buildings). When I got to the roof (the whole time really frantic about him calling me back after talking to the doctor) I saw that the whole thing was covered with satellite dishes and there was an audible hum of energy in the air -- which some of you may know is a total phobia of mine (I had to mess with my dish a couple times one night in Cairo and it was SUCH a test of will I was so freaked out to be standing in front of it, since even though there's no electrical current coming out I still totally feel things emanating from it! lol). Because of all the dishes my phone signal was disturbed and my phone was making a weird noise and displaying a weird satellite symbol I'd never seen before. I was really concerned that my friend's call wouldn't come through and I had to make it through and past the dishes in order to get a clear signal (like move behind them so they were facing away), which I was able to do.

It turned out that he was ok and we didn't need to rush to the doctor, but the dream didn't decrease in weirdness at all. In that complex of buildings (it was like an entire cite at the rooftop level) Swissy was working with some new associates (a couple older straight guys -- like old geezers lol) and they had some kind of asset management consulting company. There was all this drama because a lot of the new business they were bringing in was from Israel, and one of their "clients" had totally misrepresented himself and was now forcing them to fulfill the contract even though he lied about his assets. It was weird, because Swissy and I kept shifting in and out of that reality, like sometimes we'd be on a plane just sort of cuddling in our seats and then we'd be back in the office talking about the engagement contract for this client. It was funny, because his colleagues knew I was in law school and were asking me my legal opinion, and I just remember that even though I didn't like the aesthetic of the office at all (it was kind of dirty, people were drinking tea from little glasses like in Egypt, and one of the guys was smoking!) I felt really comfortable and even had my feet up on a cardboard box lol. It was (in total contrast to real life) really nice because Swissy was totally out to them and they kind of accepted me around as sort of the respected life partner of one of their colleagues...like they all liked me and liked getting my opinion on things when I was there with him. At one point he was really stressed out and was sort of leaning forward and I put my hand on his back and just sort of rubbed his back a little, and he was talking about how soon things will be easier because he won't always have to be flying back and forth from Zurich anymore (and he doesn't even live there in real life). In a way that is 50% typical of him but 50% a total exaggeration of him in my mind (which is really funny, because this is totally how I perceive him sometimes) he was talking about how he just KNEW, inside, that he'd go to New York and the sun would be shining and a ray of healthfulness would just emanate from him like a beam shooting out of his forehead lol In real life he's a little new-agey (and way too "the universe does what it does" for my taste), so this was SUCH a caricature of him, but it's funny now that I think about it.

The end :)
