In this dream I meet a woman walking in
circles around the cul-de-sac street outside my house. I
inviter her inside to wait with me (for what I’m not
sure) in the kitchen. On the kitchen counter is a large
head of green iceberg lettuce about the size of a bowling
ball. The woman scolds me and insists I put the lettuce
into a Tupperware box and wash it with water and liquid
soap. Instead of placing the lettuce in a Tupperware container
I hold it under the kitchen faucet and run cold water over
it. All this time the woman is telling me that I should
see a face in the lettuce soon. I continue to wash and turn
the lettuce head; my hands begin to ache from the cold water.
The woman begins to pressure me to continue to look for
the face in the lettuce. Soon I begin to see the outline
of a man’s features in the lettuce folds, but as to
whom the features belong I cannot tell. The woman begins
to yell and insist that I see a face in the lettuce, yet
I am unable to and upon telling her this I awake.
In this dream I am standing on the beach at night. I’m
wearing a scarf and a green velvet dress. When I look down
at my feet I see that I have no shoes on. In the nearby
water I can see hundreds of plain white letter envelopes
floating adrift in the waves. Immediately I feel compelled
to collect the envelopes, so I run into the water without
taking off my clothing and frantically grab at as many envelopes
as I can. In the distance I notice the outline of a large
dark fish swimming towards me. Without hesitation I get
out of the water before it gets too close. Unfortunately
I have to leave most of the envelopes behind. Sitting down
on the sand I scatter the envelopes around my naked feel
and take off my scarf and tie it around my head. My hair
wet from swimming in the water begins to curl to a thickness
like cooked noodles. This fact does not seem to bother me
at all; instead I am intent upon discovering the contents
of the envelopes. Using a nearby broken seashell I tear
the tops from each of the envelopes to reveal that they
are all empty. This fact saddens me greatly and I dig my
feet into the sand.
