THE RUSTY COUPLE (June 16, 2014)

I dreamt that I was on my terrace when a man and a woman walked their bicycles into my garden. The man’s bike had a television dish on top of a tall rod on its back. Both bikes and the dish were quite rusty. I remember thinking that they must have a rusty television set with them, as well. I had no idea how the couple got to my garden, but I was annoyed by their intrusion. I told them they could stay only a short while, but that they should take care of the three fig trees planted there. I also told them that they could not stay there overnight. Assuming that they were not from Croatia, I spoke in English. They just nodded at my commands. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I remembered the deer that I saw in the garden. My attitude was rather different, too. I was sorry to see them hurry away at the sight of me. The rusty couple was something entirely different. I wanted them out as soon as possible. Actually, they made me quite angry. It took me a while to fall asleep again.
