Nap Dream of Squirrels and Guns and Roses
So, I laid down for a nap, and was instantly transported into a dream:
I am in my apartment waking up from a nap. My son is there and I keep asking him whether the squirrel managed to get in. That's because I was distinctly remembering just before taking the nap, a squirrel was trying to get into the apartment through the patio door. He checks all around and tells me that the door had been closed all along, so no, the animal did not get in.
At that moment, someone knocks on the door and he goes to answer it. I'm still slowly getting my bearings and sitting on the couch, but get up quickly as Juliana Ellement comes in with a beautiful little girl - classic blue eyes and curly blond hair under a woolen hat. She's wearing a red winter coat. Somehow there's a feeling of very old-world charm about her, as though she just stepped out of a 1945 movie. The little girl is carrying a home made birthday card for me, and says, "Hello, Grandma, see what I made for you?"
We fall to talking and she also shows me a child's toy from that era - a plastic six-shooter and a pair of handcuffs. Somehow that too triggers a memory in me of a dream (within a dream) - just an image of a single red rose laid against a silver gun.
"I just dreamed about that", I say to my son and Julie, "But it was more a 'gun and rose' type of scenario. Yeah, guns and roses! And we all laugh, because that was one of my son's favourite bands way back when...
