i just had a most vivid dream with interesting details. i was in some other european city with my mom and sister, going out for dinner joined by a girl who stayed 2 years in my country (PI). she was pretty, but i don't remember the face and what caught my attention was her brown skin. we walked to the place (which was like along the pier, now it reminds me of the docks in lisbon), talked and soon i discovered she speaks my language (with a legitimate accent from the far north because her tutor was from there), she's witty too, the humor of this discovery and the realization that she was an intelligent conversationalist, got me infatuated. it was a vivid feeling. then another couple joined us, which forced us to be paired up. my mom and sister were fine talking to each other about their shopping day. in the dream she was bringing us out to town; she's the friend of a guy who cannot bring us out, and her boyfriend was this guy's friend from the states who worked in that european city where i am staying for more than 10 years and do not speak the language. she's japanese, which was weird. her ilocano accent and my language impairment fed the humor in our conversation, which was about something else that i don't remember, i just know it was supposed to be witty (on her side).

along the way, there are plenty of weird details i saw, e.g., there was this transportation mechanism above us, which brought people to places (it looked like the thing that brings you uphill during skiing). were we in a futuristic environment? wow, scifi dream.

when i woke up, the feeling was there, which was gone in 5 minutes. oh, yeah, i ate a lot and slept when was i was full. and i am at home with a flu.

normally, my fun dream that i look forward to having is a nightmare where i am chased by zombies, while i escape through a labyrinth inside the walls of a mansion and i wake up because my legs feel so heavy as i try to run really fast but move only an inch at a time. here i wake up feeling excited because the zombies can't find me except in that last bit when they start gaining on me…

with this dream girl, i woke up, just when i was going to tell, my secret conversation topic, that i promised everyone i would reveal at dinner. i was supposed to make her fall for me. so, i guess, this is also officially a nightmare.

so, dream interpreters, was this indigestion? or was infatuation with the intelligent faceless beauty an expression of my deep subconscious?
