Dream, October 13, 2018.
This dream started off in a health food store. I was browsing the soup aisle, looking at those small soups that come in little boxes. The trouble was, I couldn't understand what types of soup they were. Instead of Tomato Soup, one would be called Tom Toe's soup. Rice and Chicken was called Spice of Lichen,, you get the picture. Right at that moment a beautiful young girl in her early twenties appeared to offer me assistance. She explained all of the varieties of soup and their ingredients to me.
"Fine, I'll take that one in the green box up there, yeah, the one called Herb's Herbal Delight.." I said.
"No, she said. "You wouldn't like that one. That is an herbal soup and it's quite bitter."
"Well," I told her. "I had planned on getting something for lunch, you see? But it looks like I'll have to eat out."
I had a hard time keeping my eyes off the girl and her long, blonde hair. She reached over and touched the sleeve of my coat. Then she pointed at a symbol that had been embroidered onto the upper left, front of the coat.
"What does that half moon mean?" She asked.
"Oh, that?" I said. "That is the official symbol for the country of Turkey."
That did it. I was completely under her spell.
"So you're going to eat out, huh?" She asked.
"Yes," I answered. "Would you like to join me for lunch?"
Much to my surprise, the beautiful young thing said, "Sure."
So we went and had some lunch somewhere and the next thing I knew, we were at my apartment. It didn't take long before we were hugging and kissing. The emotion of love spread through us like a fever. And yet, wouldn't you know it, I was hit with a feeling of guilt. I told her that I knew that I was dreaming and all, but that I couldn't go through with it, because I would be cheating on someone. She looked at me with a sweet smile and said that she was dreaming too and that she would be cheating on her young husband. Well, I remember thinking, since things were nicely balanced out, there was really no reason why we couldn't continue on with our lovemaking. But by then it was too late. I woke up.
