A Dream

Sunday, August 23, 2009

I had this dream the other night that involved going on a Chi Tau Chi retreat. It was cool, except everyone had made their own separate plans during the day. So, Robert and I decided to drive around the Texas hill country, looking for a barbecue restaurant. This went well until we ran into hordes of pedestrians in the road. Then I woke up. This dream told me three important things:

(1) I really want to eat barbecue. Seriously.

(2) I am fed up with the hordes of pedestrians who are here for the festival that clog the sidewalks and make it impossible to get anywhere.

(3) I still know how to drive on the right side of the road. This is crucial. I have been riding my bike on the left side of the road for the last several months and it has become like second nature to me. I have worried that I would be confused when I first got into a car in the States, since I haven't driven in a year. But, in my dream, I was driving on the correct side of the road and the driver's seat was on the correct side of the car. This is good news for me and for other Texas drivers, methinks.
