Last night, I dreamt that i was trying to navigate the city where my sister lived (not a real place - a conglomeration of Fredericton, Sheffield, and Toronto). I was trying to get to school, I think (again not a real place, but a conglomeration of elements from various schools I've attended or visited). I was used to taking the transit system, but for some reason I was biking, and I couldn't find the landmarks that I thought I knew. The geography of the place was very real to me, but now I can only remember one street name- short street. I can visualize some of the intersections quite clearly as well. It was at night, although dream-me seems to have forgotten that she hates biking at night. Or at least it was very dark. Somewhat true to form, I hadn't quite reached the point where I was willing to stop and ask for directions, so i was sort of blundering around. I remember going up a very steep hill, at one point, and also a bunch of older students getting out of somewhere - calss, or maybe a pub, and thinking I should just follow them.
As I started to wake up more, my brain remembered that really, the front brakes on my bike are actually broken, and this became the case in my dream as well. I remember suddenly wondering why I had even taken it out, and how I had managed to get that far... And rethinking the whole 'down a steep hill' option.
Yeah, so my brakes on my bike are broken and I'm not 100% sure a: how to fix them and b: when I'll even have time, bah! Also, weird dreams persist.
ETA!
Oh right! also, there was a really weird bird along the path this morning. Some kind of waterbird, with mottled brown feathers and a really long skinny neck, small head, and a long pointy bill. It was pretty big - maybe some kind of juvenile crane or heron sort of deal? It was staring up at the sky/into a tree, and when we (Jola and I) came closer, it flew rather awkwardly over one of the fences into someone's yard. Hopefully not the yard with a dog, but I couldn't tell -_-
A little further along the path, someone had deposited their beer bottles by leaving them directly in the center of that path, on the yellow dash line. Two empty bottles of Shiner, about 100 feet apart.
On top of this, it was very foggy this AM (still is, really). A surreal sort of morning, all in all.
