Such tutorial dreams.

I already had cheese and eggs so bringing on drills. Just kidding. I whispered into my phone:

I already had chaste and sobering dreams.

One dream was about a woman who lived like a maid even though she said she was a wife. She ran a household and took care of her sick husband, but something about her situation was setting it up so that when her husband died she was going to be impoverished. She wouldn't talk to anyone about this. She just accepted her situation as good enough. The combination of the illusion of security and wealth with the reality of what was actually happening was truly sad to behold.

Another dream was about two people getting into a fight then making up, but unfortunately the fight was the part that got in the public eye and then the man started to get threats from strangers in his e-mails. I feel very chastened by this sobering little dream. I guess fame and money are stern teachers sometimes.
