dreamslinging: more than you ever wanted to know

i remember two dreams from last night.

in the most recent dream, dan and i chose one of many buses that were to be transporting a huge crowd to a rally. democratic virginia gubernatorial candidate tim kaine was on our bus. so were a bunch of raggedy looking hippies. the bus was actually going to the taj mahal. there was only one other woman on the bus. someone was passing around a fat joint. the tibetan sitting next to me smoked most of it. dan decided to swallow the remainder. suddenly the bus was full of nasty water. i jumped off and wandered to a nearby stream where there were a bunch of clay vessels. i used one to scoop out the nasty water on the bus. then i saw ann arbor friend katy shay and told her i was taking a bus to the taj mahal. she was happy for me.

in my other dream it was christmas morning. there were no gifts under the tree because we were too broke. i was in a panic to change that before tashi awoke. i remembered that i had some gifts i chose earlier in the year hidden away in the closet. i was madly wrapping them. and then i was searching for the sari wearing indian barbie i picked up in dharamsala and have had hidden away since. it was time to give tashi the barbie. i wondered if she would remember some old puzzels she had played with as a toddler. i dug them out of the basement and figured i'd wrap them up as if new. my brother arrived and i asked him to go in tashi's room and stall her so i could finish getting the gifts ready. there was a small pile of gifts from him now under the tree so things were looking up.
