In A Winter With No Slush


Everyone has been asking me whether my shoe dreams will appear now that "the pressure is on" to have them. I've said, "bah," I am not worried. If they do, they do. If they don't, they don't. I'm not too attached to them anyhow. But, gladly, I remembered I dreamt a pair last night.

K-- has a predilection for shiny red, pointy heeled shoes in reality. It is no wonder I dreamt of her buying this pair of knee-high cherry boots with a nice scalloped edge...but for winter!? They are pointy like icicles, it's true, but I highly doubt these beauties are waterproof.

But why waterproof shoes for dreams? In dreams, everything is perfect--or not perfect, but ideal. Even the sordid or violent is ideal. Hermetic, and without other possibility.

Another detail of the dream is that K--'s boyfriend bought her these boots, and they ONLY cost one thousand dollars!
