Dream-o-Meter: False Perception
B and I were travelling somewhere and in the airport there were free tickets to Greece because someone cancelled a flight. Anyway, we were on the plan and we had some stop-over in London and in the airport we saw the news and it was about trouble in Jerusalem and they showed Jaffa Gate and the street where the Christian Quarter switches to the Armenian Quarter.
Then, for some reason, we were there and I remember worrying that we didn't fill out visas or anything and hoping that our papers were in order. Anyway, the streets were pretty deserted because all of the "trouble" but I pointed out R's store. We started to walk towards it and I saw my dad walking towards me. He looked exactly like the last time we had been there. It startled me because he was exactly right and I never remember him so clearly. So, I almost believed it was him and I opened my mouth to say something and then he disappeared. I was glad I didn't embarrass myself in front of my friend.
At this point, the friend was no longer B, but I don't remember who it was. I think it was a girl.
We went inside the store and there were a bunch of men there. I said hi to him and introduced my friend (GoldenFinch?) to R, only the men started laughing and said "that's not R! That other guy is!" I looked at the one I said hi to and suddenly he didn't look like R. I looked at the guy they pointed to, but it was a weird looking guy in a baseball cap and i knew it wasn't him and I felt like they were making fun of me. I was really embarrassed.
Anyway, then R came in, but with LilSis, Aunt N and I think Jail and Jol. They sat down at a bog table to eat, that I hadn't noticed there before. My friend changed again, though now I think it was OperaGuy. Anyway, they were all shocked to see me and I explained how we ended up there because of the free tickets to Greece.
"Who would have known," I said, "that we'd all end up in Jerusalem for lunch today."
LilSis had on diamond and gold jewelry (a ring that was solid gold with many small pave diamonds and matching earrings.). Then my mom came in. She asked LilSis where she got such beautiful jewelry. LilSis said that Aunt B had given it to her for her birthday.
"I can't believe that Aunt B gave that to you for your birthday! How much did it cost???" etc. Aunt N exclaimed, flipping out.
Then, LilSis said that Nanny gave her ab rand new pink Cadillac.
"That's a lot more than the standard $100," I said.
"Oh, no... It only cost $1100 and she was doing me a favor. LilSis needs the car," my mom said.
Then it was time to go and I couldn't find OperaGuy.
"Where's OperaGuy?" I kept asking.
Then the fire drill woke me up.
