Pool side

For some reason someone whom I was attempting to avoid appeared in this dream. Well, this particular person, N, lived in another state. From time to time, she comes to the city, and we go out on dates. But, as time went by and I really got to know this woman, she began to turn me off. It made me really understand the meaning of “what glitters may not be gold.” The way she acts just annoys the hell out of me.

In the dream, N contacts me and came up to the city and we ended up going to this place which can be described as a “country club” which a featured pool.

I really didn’t want to interact with her and while we were there with other people, I didn’t spend much time with her. I just mingled with the crowd and occasionally spoke with her.

Another figure appeared, which I recognized as one of N’s friends, they were talking and when I came to interact with them, they asked if they could go up to the pool. When the thought of the pool came to mind, the whole scenery shifted, and a big pool appeared.  

While looking at the pool, some of the other figures that appeared faceless were in the pool swimming and some were soaking their feet in the pool’s water. N and her friend wanted to go swimming. I particularly didn’t want to swim, so I told them get into the pool if they wanted too.

I decided to just soak my feet in the water. When I went and sat at the pools side to soak my feet. I found that my legs were too short to reach the water. I had to sit real close to the edge before my feet were able to reach the water.

I found that when I was sitting on the pool side’s edge, I was not stable enough and I was falling into the pool. As I was falling into the pool, I stuck out my left hand and a metal pole appeared, and I grabbed ahold of the pole which broke the fall.

Now, while I was holding onto the pole, I was at the very edge of the pool side, I found my feet was able to reach the water. The water felt cold, I felt dismayed because I thought the pool’s water was heated.

I decided that I didn’t want to soak my feet in cold water, so I was pulling myself from the edge of the pool side. But, as I exerted pressure on the pole to pull myself up, the pole started to bend. I found myself slipping into the pool as the pole bent.

Lucky for me, before I slipped into the water, N and her friend grabbed my arm and pulled me back onto the pool side.

N and her friend were talking about buying some sort of shoes. Then images of a shoe design with some sort of symbol appeared. The design looked unique, I was thinking where we can buy the shoe. The idea that we can get the shoe on the second floor in the Brooklyn Museum came into my head.

We left the country club and went to the museum. But ironically, I never saw the Brooklyn Museum building, instead I saw a scene of a cocktail event taking place in a museum lobby.

When I walked further in the lobby, the extension looked like a field that resembled the Camp Smith parade field. I could smell the aroma of the cut grass and trees. I was looking for the bathroom, but the bathroom looked like the one I see in the bivouac area in Fort Dix and as usually it was closed.

I looked around and saw a porta John on a hill, so I went to see if it was open. Indeed, it was open, and I went in it and saw that the commode was not present, but there was a hole that you could use if you wanted to piss in it.

While I was getting ready to use it, a grounds keeper ran up to me and yelled that the porta John was only a display and not meant to be used. But it was too late to stop the obvious.

A thought did occur to me, I heard that if you see a toilet in this case a porta John in your dreams, do not use it. Otherwise, you may have an accident in bed, if you know what I mean.

I guess that premise was debunked because it was used, no accident happened. But, on a side note, when I finally got up, I did have the urge to go to use the toilet.
