A rather strange but very real dream last night. I dreamt that I was in California and staying in this very old and very majestic hotel. The decor was of the old orient. Pre-Mao Shanghai with the old-school glitz and glamour. Very beautiful and very expensive it seemed. I was staying with with a girl that while I don’t know in real life, I was apparently dating. We were sharing the same hotel room. The strange thing is that I don’t remember what she looked like in my dream. All I remember is that she was pretty and smelled of roses.
I was also older than I am now. Not too much older, maybe 27? 26? I would say that the weirdest thing was that I looked at myself in the mirror and while I looked thinner and a bit older, it was the way I carried myself that surprised me the most. It was a confidence or self-awareness that I was really impressed with.
And no, while I was not Dr. Jones, that was the only good picture that I could find when I googled Shanghai 1935 and besides, Dr. Jones is a good looking guy…enjoy ladies.
