Paris

The dream began at the beach. I was in the ocean on a boogie board with my dad and my sister. We were out pretty far, and it was sunset. The sunset was gorgeous. I was taking a picture with my phone when my friend sent me a video. She had gotten the sunset from her boat and did the “August Trend” by Taylor Swift by racing the boat with the sunset in the background. It was really good, she was in Italy and the background was gorgeous. I want to show my sister the video when I notice something odd. As I look out at the ocean, I see multiple suns rising above the ocean’s line, even though the sun had just set. The suns get smaller, and more appear. Suddenly, a bunch of school buses are riding on the water towards us. We have to swim to shore in a panic because the buses are in a line like a wave. Apparently, someone is filming a commercial. Once we reach shore, my dad flips on the commercial’s manager about safety. The shore is bustling with people by a pier. Next thing I know, it’s morning and I’m walking my family to my apartment. But, my apartment is GORGEOUS. Holy shit. Not only is it by the beach, but it’s by a clean lake surrounded by gardens and parks. People walk around happily. The apartment building has a vintage vibe to it but it light green with white trim. It’s adorable. Vendors are selling cute clothes around it, and I almost buy a denim jacket it but it doesn’t have the fleece lining I want. Then, we are at a nearby animal shelter looking for a cat. We choose a very upbeat orange kitten, and show the man selling him that we all have nice homes to keep the cat in, but the person giving us the cat doesn’t like that my apartment is by the water. He insists we take the cat to swimming lessons. I am then in Paris! I’m with Michelle from Gilmore Girls and some friends, including Jake, Sophie, and others. We are at the place with the art on the ceiling. It’s much smaller than I thought it would be, and we sit at a lecture on its history as we plan the day. I really want a group photo, but then this group of American girls, seemingly in middle school, run by and knock over a pillar with glass on it. I’m mortified for Americans, but the historian doesn’t seem very upset. We walk around a park, and I think Paris doesn’t look that different from home. The drama changes, and suddenly I’m visiting my university. It’s Halloween, and colorful leaves are on the ground. Everything looks beautiful and fall like. The school is abuzz with fall activities, and suddenly I REALLY miss college. Everyone seems so happy and excited for fall. I sneak into my old townhouse to find some of my friends living there (AJ and CB). They almost think I’m an intruder and throw something at me, but we reconnect and they give me some Halloween things for fun. I’m with DP as I head outside to walk around more, but I don’t have much time. I end up running into my ex, who is also visiting, but he doesn’t seem to care that I’m there at all. The dream changes, and I’m suddenly traveling again. I’m a mess, though. Everything is a mess. I’m with my sister, and I have suite cases that won’t fit everything, I can hardly find my tickets, and I just don’t know where everything is.
