12:20:2003 Entry: "Ann : DREAM - War and Eye Shadow"

DREAM - War and Eye Shadow

I was in an old house which was either my own or my grandmother's. I don't know why, but I remember the colors black, grey and white, and markings with Xs and 0s like a game plan on a chalkboard, except it was a warplan diagram. Supposedly, there were people coming into our neighborhood and taking it over. Who were these people? I don't know. But I was supposed to take up arms and fight them. My mom was with me and telling me that I had to fight when they started attacking. I asked her why I couldn't just surrender, and she told me that would not be a viable option, and that I had at least try to fight them first. Later, I was in a Walgreens and looking at the makeup section. There was this deluxe package of eye shadow that came in every possible shade imaginable in different formats (some powder, some liquid). For some reason (unbeknownst to the rational and conscious me) I wanted to get it, even though it cost $58.99. I told my mom that I wanted it but that she would have to spot me the money because I didn't have it (can you imagine? my mom's attitude would be buy your own goddamned eye shadow! but in politer terms) so she put it on her credit card. Um...who's mom did I have in my dream anyway? And admittedly the eye shadow package was rather nifty from an artistic color-lover's standpoint, why the hell would I pay $58.99 for EYE SHADOW? Again, another ridiculous dream intended for some girly girl, not me.
