Baby It's Cold Outside
Dec. 31st, 2005 09:44 amThe dream didn't make much sense, but then again neither do reality television shows. I was picked from a handful of people, and asked to go along with an old girlfriend on a few dates that she was having for this reality show. I was there to chat with either of them if things seemed to be going slowly, save the girl if the guy seemed to be a jerk, and just generally be in the background otherwise. There were going to be two dates, I was told, and for both of those dates I was to fade into the background completely if they both decided to retire to the hot tub.
I'm not sure that on the second date the "bathe with the alligators" mud pit counted, especially since she kept trying to get out and he kept pushing her back in. I saved her, of course, because it was my dream. She continued the date with the guy due to contractual obligations, but he really seemed to be a whack-job.
All I remember about the first guy is wanting to punch him in the jaw for the things he was saying. It's strange that I can't put a face on him, because I think I knew him quite well in real life, but you know how dreams are. I'm pretty sure that both the girl and I had known this person, and neither of us were extremely pleased with the choice, but at least I was there to keep conversation going and funny, even if it did earn dark looks and promises of pain from the guy.
The strangest part of this dream is that in the end, after the second guy had left, I laughed, and she laughed too. We sat in companionable silence for a bit, and then she looked at me with an impish grin, "So, wanna go hot-tubbing?"
