At the Mall with Molly

January 30th, 2006

I am going to start changing people’s names to things so I can actually keep track of who is who.

I find myself at the mall with nelson, scratch, and a few other people. I am not sure if this is a mall that I have dreamt about before, but I do know that it is enormous and that I was visiting places I have never been or dreamt about before.

Nelson was on some sort of shopping frenzy. She was traveling around wildly in search of shoes. I think she was really drunk. While we are in one of the stores I am introduced to Molly. Her first question is if I am part of the tri-college community. I tell her I am. She then asks pointedly if both of my parents are smart. I do not respond. She seems to think that means that they are not intelligent. She seems disappointed.

Nelson continues to wonder through the mall. She wants to find a particular store, but her sense of direction is terrible. We end up taking an escalator that is extremely fast. After traveling four floors in a matter of seconds we finally reach the store Scratch was looking for. The place is packed. People are milling about outside the store. Molly says there is no way she is going in there. She tells us that the store is weird and has some sort of matchmaking service. I am confused. We walk past the store towards the elevator. Scratch tells me to watch out for Molly, because she is the worst person ever.

I ask Molly why she asked me if my parents were smart. She told me that she did not really know. She asked me if two red chickens have a baby chicken it is going to be red. I asked her what would happen if a red and a blue chicken had a baby chicken. I asked her if it also could be red. I asked this question very awkwardly and poorly. I am not sure if she understood. She said she did not know. I then exclaimed that I was a red chicken. I do not think I was sober in this dream either.

Then I noticed that Nelson was nowhere to be found. This is bad because she is probably drunk. I tell everyone and start for the store she wanted to go to. As I reach the store security grabs me and tells me that the store is full and the que is long and to come back later. As I try to tell him that I am looking for my friend, we both fall to the floor. He does listen to me and tells me to calm down. When We get back up I fall down again. I have a very hard time maintaining my balance. I go back to my group of friends and tell Scratch to go look for Nelson. He heads off toward the store. I hope he found her, because thats all I remember.
