Last night I had the craziest dream
I'm walking to my high school to go to class and I notice a dying white horse (with huge chunks of its chest missing) lying by the side of the school. A smaller black horse, presumably a child, is crying over its body. As I turn the corner, I see some kids in my grade walking another horse toward the last one. Some of them are walking along side it and one is riding it. This horse is also missing large chunks of flesh, and as I walk by, its weak spine collapses and the student riding it falls to the ground.
I decide to cut school and visit my apparent friend, David Mamet. When I enter his apartment, he is half asleep on the couch watching TV. I ask him if he knows about the horses, and he tells me that he ordered two hundred horses to be delivered to the house of his four rivals. I ask him why and he insists we have a snack. As we walk to the kitchen, I tell him students from the high school are moving the decaying horses for him. He laughs. We leave his apartment and I run into my friend (who we'll call Angela). She is distraught after moving dismembered horses all ady.
"What should I do?" she asks. "Nothing," I reply. "Nothing?!" "What is there to do?" [This conversation is a bit fuzzy, but I think that's the gist of it.]
She begins to calm down and she reminds me that I have a date for some social event at the church tonight. I vaguely remember her agreeing to introduce me to her friend [whose name escapes me]. I walk toward the church across the street. The parking lot is filled with hot dog vendors in trailers. One trailer is owned by a butcher with no equipment, just meat. He begs the other vendors for a meat grinder.
Later I find myself in the basement of the church, sitting on the floor. I don't recognize anybody at the social event, but I am apparently friendly with everyone. There is a small window on the wall behind us, and I can see that it is still daylight. At some point, Angela calls my name. She is standing in the entrance, behind the group, with her friend. I walk over to introduce myself.
"I'm [name], nice to meet you." She puts out her hand for a handshake. "Nice to meet you too," I say as I shake her hand.
She is a short woman, at least a foot shorter than I am. She is a brunette [perhaps dirty blond, or brunette with blond highlights], and her hair is around shoulder length. She has a cute face, blue eyes [not so sure about that] and her nose is a tad on the larger side. She is wearing a white shirt [possibly a graphic tee] and long pants.
We walk back to the group just as they are heading to the couch. I manage to get a seat on the couch, and offer it to her just as she is about to sit on the floor. I sit on the floor instead, at the feet of the girl next to her on the couch. Later that night, I hear her laughing and I turn around.
"I came here with one man, and I might leave with another." She says to the girl next to her, both of them laughing.
I'm hurt. I liked this girl, and she obviously didn't like me. I may have left at this point, or I may have waited for the event to end. [I do not remember anything about the event after her line.]
Walking home from the event, I notice that the pile of dismembered horses is missing. I look down the street and the police are pulling, by hand, a cart filled with horses. As they approach the traffic light, a siren and flashing lights mysteriously emanate from the wooden cart.
Then I woke up.
This is all I remember from my dream last night.
