Bubbly Bubbles

Bizarre dreams are nothing new and the fact that they are theatrical and intricate is rather delightful. Last night's was no exception. It started with a winter scene of me standing at the train station awaiting the train that would presumably whisk me off to work. But instead of being the typical SEPTA train it was one of those "olde time"-y numbers with curtains in the windows and velvet seats (not a bad way to commute...). Anyway, at some point I end up with some of my extended family at some restaurant/bar/club and we are offered a glass of their speciality drink. Of course we all accept.

This drink was odd. If you are familiar with bubble tea you'll have a better idea of what I'm about to describe: in the bottom of a champagne flute, rested about 6 spheres of different colors. We were told that they added an "extra kick" to the rose champagne that was then poured on top of the spheres. At first the bubbles were small, as is expected with champagne or sparkling wine. Then the spheres started adding their own bubbles. These bubbles were crazy colors and foamed to the top of the glass over and over again. The effects of this drink were a bit like throwing back shots of whiskey for an hour straight.

After having my extra bubbly bubbly I returned back to the house my family was apparently sharing and fell asleep. I woke up to find I was sharing the room with a couple of my cousins and this guy, Brian, with whom I work (note: I'm not particularly fond of Brian). I stand up and look in the mirror. I have on electric, sparkly blue eyeliner topped off with deep blue mascara. I'm stark naked and looking good. I go into the bathroom and climb into my shower that has a curtain of white lace.

And that's that. One thing that stuck with me was this drink. I think it sounds wonderful. I wonder if I could find someone to make it for me...The other thing that stuck with me was the opulence that surrounded me throughout the dream. All the curtains and rich fabrics. The bright colors and lush rooms. It's times like this that I wish I could draw....
