Embarrassing Feet

I dreamed I was in my parents' neighbors' kitchen with a family I teach. The 7 year old boy had grown to be as tall as me, which was confusing. I looked down at our feet to see if I was wearing shoes that made me shorter or he was wearing shoes that made him taller. It turned out that I was wearing brown knock-off Birkenstocks with black socks. The mom in the family lifted up my foot to take a closer look. "These are really nice," she said. "Yes, they're knock-off Birkenstocks. I love them," I replied, but I was lying through my teeth. I was mortified to be wearing them. Especially with black socks.

Moon Museum, Tattoos, Red Sox, Michael Jackson

I was with my family and we went to an AWESOME museum exhibit on moons. Everyone got a free action figure and a little boy asked if he could trade with me. I said yes. Also there was a large photo on the wall - a collage of various people hanging out with the "red sox coach" and it included a picture of me eating pancakes with him. I bragged a bit about that, and a girl got annoyed. I was with Reem and we skipped most of the museum and talked about boys and she cried because a boy was not getting her published like he said he would. We were talking with my family and my mouth was full of pins and coffee grinds, so I excused myself to take care of that.

Then I was in a classroom situation, and we had a special guest - Michael Jackson! He sat down next to me. He was really nice. I was so flustered - MICHAEL JACKSON is sitting next to me! A girl was like, "What's your problem?" since I was all blush-y and I was like, "Michael Jackson!!!" and she looked at me like I was stupid. I quickly updated my facebook status to let people know I was sitting next to Michael Jackson in class. A few people wrote things like, "Not funny" and I realized that MJ has been dead. This was not the actual Michael Jackson, but a guy who kind of looked like him and sounded like him. And everyone else was smart enough to get that but me.

Then I was in a tattoo shop where my girlfriend worked. There was drama - the boss announced new pay rates and they sucked. My gf and her colleague told me about a big screw-up they had. They were doing a piece on a "cheerleader who was a Green Bay Packers fan who had lots of metal work in her mouth". The piece was a "bowl of chili" and it looked like it was sliding off of her. I asked if the girl paid for it and they laughed and were like, "Yeah right." (this last part is from watching LA Ink).

Castle Lobby

I dreamed I was trying to get dressed and get ready to go somewhere. I was putting on several outfits at once and was being incredibly indecisive about what to wear. It was really hot and I was all sweaty, so I decided to wear a skirt and tank top. I also remembered that I'd be going on a field trip to a movie theater, so maybe I should wear a sweater. At the same time, I worried about getting a sunburn on this field trip.

Once I thought I was ready to go, I looked down and realized I hadn't shaved my legs in a really long time. This was pointed out by some guy, and my mom tried to take a picture with an old fashioned camera with a giant flashbulb. I tried to hide my legs.

Then, as I was trying to pull on my tights, I was in the "lobby" of a castle. I think it was Buckingham Palace. There was a busy woman, who I assumed was the castle receptionist, on the phone answering questions faster than shooting bullets. It sounded like this:

April 19th. No. There aren't any. No. No more.

I was very impressed with how quickly she was able to answer the questions. At some point, somebody was saying how the princes were catching up in age to their father, so there was probably going to be some sort of competition to see who would rule all the land. I assumed they were talking about Prince Charles, then Prince William and Prince Harry, and that there would be a duel of some sort.

Then I got distracted by cases of jewelry - everything was really fancy, made of different jewels and fancy beads and silver. I assumed they'd each cost hundreds of dollars, but one pair of earring said $74 and one said $69. I found my favorite, black and silver with colors here and there, and my phone rang and I woke up. It was the prettiest part of the dream...
