THESE AWFUL DREAMS

HER NAME WAS NICOLE
SHE WAS FROM fRANCE WHO HAS LIVED IN aMERICA FOR SOME TIME
AND THEN GONE BACK
nOW VISITING AGAIN
wITH AN OLDER MAN/BOYFRIEND
i SUPPOSE
WHO IS PUSHING HER TO MOVE BACK TO THE sTATES
AND SHE IS AGGRAVATED WITH THE SUGGESTION
AND TRYING TO CONVINCE HIM THAT SHE DOESN'T THINK
ITS THE RIGHT IDEA AT TIS TIME….

There was another scenario going on at the same time
There was a Edward Norton look alike person/actor?
Trying to investigate in a building behind Nicole and all of us
If there was drug smuggling/gambling/or murder of some
Sort was going on

He was peeping through a curtain into the window of the building
I was thinking of both scenarios which would end in disaster
One quite soon with Ed Norton involved and the other with
Nicole being pushed into a decision not her own

I knew or thought that the man/boyfriend of Nicole was only
Interested in a green card
The visa to be a permanent resident here
I thought  or knew that he was hustling Nicole and
She should not do anything she doesn't want to do

And I myself felt the pressure of men
How they can force you into choices you don't want
To make….

And then the scenario shifted
A young woman whom I know and love in life
Who has a difficult life

Gets offered a beautiful room
A big room
Like someone's master bed room
All decorated in French design
With French covers on the bed
Very tasteful and elegant curtains and flowers
And the whole scenario of a dream come true

She was telling me in the dream that an Iranian
Man, must be so very rich from the times of Shah of Iran
Who lived here in NYC, (They brought the oil money with them from Iran)
During the revolution and some of them actually stayed in Plaza hotel
When they came here, (I read that somewhere)
I read a lot, all garbage and maybe some of my awful dreams are
Result of all that mumbo Jumbo….

But this particular dream didn't seem awful and I wanted it to continue
And it did…..

She told me that this Iraninan man owns a town house and he gave her the furnished
Huge bedroom with three beds in it and all the rest of the comforts provided
No strings attached…..

I told her that she was in the best neighborhood
I thought she was on Gay street in the West Village
and there was a cafe next to her door called,  "Anyway" cafe and the
Washington square park was also right outside her window

But still in my dream I thought I was wrong because
If you are on Gay street you won't be able to see Washington park from the window
But perhaps she was on the corner of west 4th street from
where she could see the park
But then I knew there was no cafe called, "Anyway" cafe near 4th street
That cafe is on Gay street

But still my debate and confusion about the cafe and
The street didn't matter much
BECAUSE THE DREAM WAS NOT AWFUL
IT WAS ACTUALLY A PRETTY NICE DREAM
AND I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END

But it went some where else
Some drowning or choking or killing or Jihad or some thing
And I didn't want to sleep any more
And I couldn't wake up either
So I was struggling to not sleep any longer in case it takes me somewhere
in an awful zone as usual
but at the same time struggling to sleep more to know what happened to this nice young woman with a room i a nice street in the West Village…….
But then the dog barked
And barked
And barked
Was that another awful dream beginning?
Or what?

It was the neighbors awful dog
Awful dog
Awful dog

I am afraid of that dog while I am awake
AI am afraid of that dog while I am asleep…………...
