tales from an ordinary world

2002-02-03

Dream: I'm with a friend (although I'm not exactly sure which friend), and we seem to be in Singapore. We're going to her flat (I don't know why, I think we were on our way somewhere else), and just across the street from it, she points out her favourite TV station, "but my TV doesn't get it." "I thought you had cable ?"

While my friend showers, I wander around her lounge (although I think the bedroom is part of the same room as the lounge...and there's a bunk bed...) and wait. Upon finishing, she asks me if I wanted to take a shower, so I wander inside, shut the door, strip down to my boxer shorts and notice that I don't know where the shower is. I don't appear to be in the bathroom, it's almost like a study (I can vaguely remember a desk, and possibly a bookshelf). There's nobody else around, plus there's other rooms going off from here. I thought I was in an ordinary, student-housing-style one or two-roomed flat. It seems important that I have my shower, so I go looking for it.

At one point in my wanderings, I see 2 Japanese guys (I seemed sure they were Japanese, for some reason) outside, along with a girl who has waist-length hair. They all seem to be showering under a waterfall. It doesn't seem like a real waterfall, more just a gimmicky one that's sorta "shower"-height, complete with stone and moss and everything. It almost looks like some kind of invented scene rather than something "real". Perhaps they were posing for an advertisement, although this didn't occur to me during the dream.

A bit later, I see out (another ?) window a canal with deep blue water. The sky's blue and I get the impression that it's a rather hot day...and then I'm somewhere near the sea...there's a pier, and people playing on it and in the water.

I don't think I ever got to have my shower.
