23/24 June 09 - a mere slither of Tuesday Night's Matariki Dream

...Vampires...

...the girl with no name* (G)...

...SHdj (Sad House) delivering me a note...

...directing someone to the place where I had been before...

pointing in the direction of a pub

I think it is that one,

but it looks all wrong

too traditional mock? old pub-like

old wooden beams

and, like JJs, a series of wooden alcoves

but I am sure that was the right name

I don't recall the name now

but I read it then

on the sign...

but I was there before

and it wasn't this place

we walk further down the winding street

the street has a slightly Parisian feel

along the next bend

yes

the sign says

in swirling design

"the Hat- something ...cafe?, restaurant? tea house?"...

Hat-Whisp?...

(It isn't a name I recall in my dream

I thought it was the other name

the name of the pub... hmm...)

but this is the place

filled with folk - much more than when I went here and negotiated earlier

(negotiated about what?...

that dreamfrost is lost to the light of day pulling long shadows on the hills)

the place is not particularly ostentatious

and has large glass front but an old

1920s practical look inside

slightly scruffy

tan walls

a counter running along the far wall

the entrance goes in from the front

(daylight embellishment?... not sure...)

so there are two

distinct glass 'alcoves' jutting out

closer to the street

these contain old wooden tables

and people sitting around them

looking out (possibly)

whereas the rest of the space is standing

jostling people drinking (beer?)

but there is the large woman

the main negotiator

for whomever this band of ... thieves? workers?

whomever they might be

drinking with a bunch of large bulky men

at one of the tables

the Hat-something is packed

full of people

the large glass windows misting up

(surely this is daylight embellishment?)

this is the place

do I point her out

or does he just know?...

I leave SHdj to go in.

the dream drifts away...

Later

a vampire party?...

underground...

crypt arches?...

is this all daylight invention?...

visually I think we can say there were a lot of chic? semi-goths

and in dreamland

these are Vampires

and within the party is G

I think it was SHdj who went with a note to G - the Girl

got me to write it.

and comes back with a reply...

I have a feeling this is the 2nd note back

in blue biro - the post-it sized note is now smattered with writing

below a previous note

it says

meet you / see you / or words to that effect

meet you NEXT TUESDAY

and

I WAKE.

*=yep, the vanishing waitress - G

There was much much more to this dream - this is the moment before the penultimate part and then the end - but it is all I recall at the moment...
