BLACK AND BLUE (December 10, 2012)

I dreamt that I was staying in a hotel and that I wanted to go to a toilet next to a hotel café. The door was not locked, but the body of a young woman barred my entry. I immediately closed the door, but I saw that she had only her bra on. It was loose, too. There was a huge black and blue mark on her shoulder and back. She did not pay any attention to me, though. “Look what happened to me,” she said in a whining voice to somebody who was in the toilet with her. “Look,” she moaned. The bruise looked horrific, but the person who was with her was silent. She must have either fallen, or something large and heavy must have fallen on her. But I was not sympathetic with the young woman in my dream. “Stupid bitch,” I remember growling as I walked away, “lock the door next time!” And that is all I remember of the dream. When I woke up in the middle of the night, I did my best to go back to sleep as soon as possible. Quite angry about the silly dream, I hoped for something more to my liking.
