1996/8/6 COCO Rooftop Honey



(dream) My apartment building or school or office, it's unclear; a white, concrete building somewhere. I go up and down from the top floor to the roof and back time and again. I am fooling around with friends, bluffing each other. (There are lots of details between.) I try going up to the roof with another woman. To get there we must pass several unused floors. The stairwell walls are plastered with spray foam, (the stuff used at parties,) and I am twirling it around a long stick I picked up like cotton candy, as I ascend the stairs. I open an unfrequented, dirt-covered door and I am outside! There are bugs and spiders' webs, and I glance ahead and see < !--a href="rnrn_21e.htm"-->two white mice. I get out of there in a flash. "The place is filthy enough to breed mice, eh." I go back to climbing stairs, and at long last reach the roof, which has a ceiling, making the sky visible from only about half of it. There are bees being raised and people up there trying to extract honey. I eye the wad of foam on the stick I am still holding and it is covered in dirt, the foam is matted and filthy. (The end.)

I have no idea what was going on in that dream, but it was somehow interesting.
