Last night, I had a very vivid dream about a family whose websites I know pretty well, but whom I have never actually met.
Tulipgirl & Discoshaman and their kids came over to visit. I looked out the window to see them walking around out in the field and garden in front of the house (Note: the house in this dream was nothing like my real house). I'm looking forward to meeting them. I have a big family gathering going on at the house, but I go out and meet them anyway. They suggest that we go out to lunch, and I agree, hoping that I can get back in time for dinner at my house.
We go to a very nice restaurant in a very nice hotel. Our table is near the edge of a big room with a high ceiling and there are many other big round tables in the room, all with people at them having elegant dinners. We are also having a nice dinner and a nice conversation. All the time we have been talking, I have been trying to catch their real names when they happen to use them in conversation, but whenever they do use their real names, they mumble them so that I can't really make it out. Some time during this dinner conversation, it occurs to me to turn around to see what is behind me: a very elegant parlor type room that is brightly lit and completely open to the grand dining room. Sometime during dinner, Tulipgirl gets up and says she has to leave. Then it's time for dessert. Dessert is deep-fried whole almonds, each wrapped in locks differently-colored hair -- there are blond ones, brunette ones, and red-haired ones. I carefully take the almonds out of the locks of hair to eat them.
After dessert, Discoshaman tells the kids its time to go. I ask him if I can catch a ride back to house, and he says, sure. We go out to the parking lot and he uses a remote control on his keys to start the engine of a huge, clean, very-modern-looking dump truck. I get to ride in the back. After I've climbed in, my cell phone goes off for just a second or two, and then stops. I read the text on the screen which states that I am out of range to receive a signal, but all I have to do is go 6 blocks north to get a signal. I try to call to Disco in the cabin to tell him this...
...and then I wake up. That was a weird dream, but it was pretty cool.
