The Japanese Dream
I had a strange dream last night. I abandoned my life here and flew with Gabeen and Scoop to Japan. We went to a store where the items were in little bins very close to the ground like how pet stores keep their turtles and such. The prices and labels were in English which upset me because I wanted to practice my Japanese. (I don't speak it IRL at all.)
The entire store, though, was very Zen. In the bins were artfully arranged mosses and rocks upon which the goods were displayed. One bin was home to a midsize rat that had no problem living in the store. It was very friendly and didn't mind if someone bent down and scritched under its chin. It also loved for you to turn on the faucet so it could shower.
Suddenly I stood straight up and realized that I had managed to get into the country without a passport. How could I get a job? What if someone stopped and asked me for my papers? How was I going to get home?
Of course, at that moment the authorities realized I had no passport and started pursuing me. Details are jumbled here, but I do recall being on a cliff near the ocean and I had to roll down the backside of it (away from the water) to escape, just like in The Princess Bride. All in all, very bizarre.
