Fur Coat Dream

Okay, I was going to stop with just the one post for today, but after contemplation I just couldn't let this dream go un-written about. Last night I dreamt that I was shopping downtown at a mall called the Fox Center or something like that, and as I walked through one of the department stores I was handed a free fur coat. Now I was impressed that the coat was a freebie, but mortified at the fact that as soon as I recieved it I put it on and LOVED it! It was all white, and to make matters worse it was made out of the skin of those poor baby animals, I can't remember which, that are yanked from their mother's wombs before they are born so that their fetal skin can be used for some really soft kind of leather. Now that's for real. That really does happen, but in my dream the coat was furry, not leather.

For those that don't know this about me I DO NOT WEAR FUR, AND FEEL THAT ALL CLOTHING, ACCESSORIES, ETC. MADE OUT OF THE FUR OF ANIMALS SHOULD BE BANNED.

But damn I loved this white coat. I wore it on the el on the way home from Fox Center, and wore it to meet my friend, Jenny, who works at Tree House. It kept me warm and made me feel special. I was particularly ashamed that Jenny was to see me in this coat, as she feels the same way about fur as I do, but surprisingly Jenny told me that I should keep the coat as it looked beautiful on me. I even tried to give it to her so that she could splash red paint on it like PETA does, but she refused.

Then Jenny and I went shopping at another mall. I didn't have any money, but Jenny wanted to buy some stuff so I tagged along, wearing my coat all the while. I ran into some C4 people at the store who commented on my coat, asking how much it cost, where I got it, and who designed it. I told them it was free, and they looked at the label "Henri Bendel" it said, and told me that the coat was way out of their league. It turns out that it was multiple thousands of dollars. Isn't Bendel a real designer?

Toward the end of our shopping trip I ended up in an elevator with some store lady telling me she would have to call security on me. I didn't do anything wrong so I assumed that she thought that I stole the coat. I had to stay in the elevator until security was called. In the elevator with me were about five REALLY TALL WOMEN in their mid forties or fifties. They were all mocking me and I was really angry at them and we yelled at each other the whole time. They were rich, snotty women, who didn't like the fact that I had this coat. Anyway, I was cleared by security and allowed to leave.

Next I went to Tree House where Jenny was starting her shift. However, Tree House wasn't Tree House but a shoe store with really beautiful sandals. The women in the store kept encouraging me to try the shoes on, saying flattering things about the way they looked on me. I enjoyed this part of my dream very much, and found some great shoes.

While all this was happening a large building in Chicago, The Fed Ex Building, was being bombed out, and there was mass chaos in the city.

Now interpret that folks.
