Sep. 5th, 2005 03:10 pmSuch a vivid dream last night--I was on a desolate and havoc-strewn street, undoubtedly in New Orleans but that wasn't really clear in my dream. I was rushing to stop some people that were going to kill a kitten for some ritual, but when I got there it was too late. I sat on the curb wondering what to do next when I heard a little noise and a sad skinny little pit bull puppy slunk from the shadows to cuddle up next to me, shivering and afraid. His coat was a satiny silver and his jaws were massive. I was a little apprehensive about him but he seemed so scared and lonely that I resolved to take him away with me.
mistresshellena and
spitcurl arrived in mistresshellena's convertible station wagon to pick me up; we were on our way to some big event at the Burlington Mall (perhaps it was a fashion show). I brought the puppy into the back seat with me and didn't tell them about it. As we drove along, mistresshellena and spitcurl decided to jump out of the car to pick up some lunch. The car sped along on autopilot down the straight highway and I wasn't worried until I saw a curve in the road coming up. I managed to scramble into the front seats (that old station wagon sort of long single seat) and wrench the car back onto the highway just in time. I couldn't slow down the car so I barrelled into the parking lot of the Burlington Mall. Magically, the car halted when I reached a parking spot. The puppy was okay, and I could see mistresshellena and spitcurl walking over, so all seemed to be okay. I got out of the car and turned back to comfort the puppy, telling it to be good and wait in the car, but as I bent over it, I scared it and it bit my hand. It bit quite deeply but there wasn't any blood. I apologized to the puppy for scaring it and continued on my way, but I was even more troubled about whether to tell the others about the puppy or not, now that I knew that it would bite in fear.
I woke up wondering how I was going to integrate the puppy with the ferrets. This dream was a pretty spectacular accumulation of real events and books I've read over the last week.
Planning to go to Ceremony tonight. All in white, no less.
