..::Previous entry: "Route 66."::.. ..::Main Index::.. ..::Next entry: "Feral Thanksgivings"::.. 12:05:2005 Entry: "Ann : DREAM: Parking and Stairways"DREAM: Parking and StairwaysTwo parts of the dream that I can remember, but I don't know which sequence came first. In one sequence I was travelling somewhere with someone who I think was Stan, but they seemed different, like the wrong gender and really defective. Since the identity/gender of this person is unclear, I'll call them Stanette. The part I remember clearly is Stanette, me, and possibly a 3rd person are in our red van, except it seemed higher--maybe it was a pickup. We were parked in a parking lot. It was cold and rainy. Stanette tried backing out of the parking spot, first turning to the right, but then turning to the left, wedging us back in the spot. I got very frustrated and ordered Stanette to get out, and I was taking over driving because Stanette needed sleep. I was actually hoping my threat to drive would make Stanette shape up, because it was dark and I was wearing glasses, I probably wouldn't be any better of a driver myself. I think I take off and head south down a road which was like Shields or Taft Hill in my dream version of Fort Collins from somewhere around Elizabeth. I also had another sequence that I was with Stan and two other people. I'm not sure who the two other people were, but we all were in a large building, like either an administrative office type building or a museum. There were open stairways that labyrinthed around the center part of this vast building, stairways that were very mid-century, with flat aluminum handrails, and possibly made of concrete but covered with a veneer of tan or fleshy-colored faux stone composite, with no-skid strips near the edges of each step. I'm sure I've been on staircases like this, but I'm not sure what the material is they're made out of. The other two people (females, I think) are walking way ahead of us. We're trying to catch up to them, but it looks as if they're trying to lose us on purpose. The stairways just keep going on forever, and they're interconnected, and as you'll take one staircase and it ends up a dead end, so you have to backtrack.
5 Comments It's been so long since I've heard Taft called Taft Hill that I thought maybe the "Hill" part had been dropped, at some point. So I looked it up in the phone book map, and sure enuf, it's still "Taft Hill." Maybe I'm just not paying attention. Or maybe I'm confusing it with Taft in Loveland, where the street is named after the president. The bottom line: someone who lives in Wisconsin, who hasn't lived in FC for many years, is more acurate on street names than me. Doesn't say much for me! Posted by greenthumb @ 11:23:2005:08:51 AM CST Actually, I think it's the same syndrome where non-native English speakers I've encountered on the internet are actually better at English spelling and grammar than many native English speakers. I think when we're familiar with something we're as less likely to be too careful with it, whereas a foreigner might be more inclined to pay attention to detail to be understood. I have a tendency to refer to "Jenny Street" when I mean "Jennifer Street" or "Willy Street" meaning "Williamson Street" but all native Madisonians do the same thing. Posted by Ann @ 11:23:2005:10:09 AM CST See, you're practically a native. I've known several people from Africa over the years, and they speak ENGLISH - not Amerian - with a British accent. Very proper. I'm sure this is a result of colonialism, plus deliberately learning the language in school. Posted by greenthumb @ 11:23:2005:11:12 AM CST Yeah, I'm technically native, after all, I was born in this state. But I guess I'll feel a little alien wherever I go. I love a British accent...especially on a man. Posted by Ann @ 11:23:2005:11:21 AM CST Stan, are you listening? :) Posted by greenthumb @ 11:23:2005:11:47 AM CST By Ann @ 08:45 AM CST:12:05:05 ..::Link::.. |
