Dream Journal
B and I woke up early and decided we would go on a motorcycle ride before we had to leave for school. It was my first time driving the bike myself, and I was excited. We were both dressed in our leathers, boots, and helmets, when the phone rang.
He answered the phone and talked with a guy from his work. I kept an eye on the clock; it was getting closer and closer to 7:30 am, the time we had to leave for school; Melissa had already left.
B talked and talked and talked, giving his advice to some mechanical problem. By the time he hung up, the white clock pointed to 7:35 am: we were late.
I sat down on the floor beside the couch and took off my shoes to put on my sandals. I told him angrily that it was too late, and we couldn’t go on a ride. When we got to the car, I told him that I was angry he talked on the phone so long that not only were we late for school, but we were unable to go on the bike ride, something he had promised me.
I was then lying in bed, on what would be his side, as he undressed on the other side of the bed. Another couple was cuddled up on my side of the bed, cooing and laughing and kissing each other. They were in their 50s and acted like newlyweds.
I was still angry with B about him making us forego the motorcycle ride that morning. The other man in bed moved his elbow and poked it into my back. I pushed it back over to their side, but he was so enraptured with his wife that he hardly noticed.
I was trying to decide whether to be mad with B when he got into bed next to me.
