And the dream I had in that last ninety minutes: Met someone I liked and we hit it off and the person was flirtatious as was I. Something about she'd been ill but was okay - she was also smoking and I said, "You don't want to hear it from me, but you should stop. We want you alive." Then I'm at the Royalton Hotel in NY, where I guess this is taking place and a friend (don't know who) was taking me to my room, which was the same room I was in last time I was there (in real life, I've never been to such a hotel). Still there were some old newspapers I'd bought and hadn't been able to fit in my luggage. Nice. The flirtatious person came to the room, I showed her the papers, one of which was from 1984 and one of which was from whatever year the movie Hand in Hand was playing. Then suddenly I'm in the streets of NY with this friend who showed me to the room. He's with other friends and the flirtatious person is there, too. I say I just happen to be there. She asks if someone will walk her to her hotel, which she can't find. She says it's on State Street and everyone is telling her there IS no State Street. I tell her there is because it's in the song Everything's a Boulevard in Old New York - I sing her the line. I start walking her to State Street (I've never been there) and we're on what looks like the old 42nd Street and I say, "Great neighborhood" maybe we should take a cab. Then suddenly accompanied by a beautiful dolly shot, I'm arriving at her hotel, called The Epit, which seems to be run by Asians. I go to the lobby bar and see the flirtatious person sitting. The person sees me and I say "Can we have a conversation, you're not going to believe this." We go off privately and I tell her that I had a dream where she asked me to walk her to her hotel. I said the dream was so real that I found the hotel without ever having been there or her telling me she was staying there. Then in the next bit, I'm a cop or an actor playing a cop in what looks like something out of The Choirboys and we're having a meeting where I'm being introduced as the new guy. Alarm goes off.
The flirtatious person part I understand, because I met someone at the Robby Awards and Jason Graae jokingly said the person was being flirtatious - that was two weeks ago, but I did think about the person before falling asleep for the first time last night because the person is in Billy Elliot which is playing three performances this weekend at the Alex (after finishing its run at La Mirada) - the person's name, who I've only met that once is Marsha Waterbury and she was in Smile on Broadway. I do not understand one other thing in this dream or why this stuff was in my subconscious.
