sweet dreams
this morning i woke up with the memory of the last sentence i had uttered in my dream, and it was:
“Can someone give me a hand here? I’m having cake management issues.”
i think i actually woke up because that was so amusing that i could not continue further with the story.
what’s potentially funnier is that the dream actually made a lot more sense than most of my dreams lately, by which i mean that it is actually possible to summarize the plot in waking language without sounding like i’m trying to mimic james joyce – in this dream, i was living in a crowded apartment with lots of people and we had a lot of cakes. i think people had been giving them to us. i think we had just moved in, so they were like housewarming cakes. i was shuffling stuff around in a cabinet and one of the cakes was falling and so i asked for help.
perfectly reasonable.
still funny.

While you were in snooze-land, I was baking an ACTUALLY REAL cake. Its carrot, with coconut frosting. The moral of the story? Cake is delicious!

it must be a metaphorical housewarming cake for me!!
to go with those metaphorical cookies i saved for you.
next post-CHI oregonian reunion theme, esoteric academic paper title version: The Impact of Ajax as a Component of Cleanup and Garbage Collection in the Transformation of Dessert Metaphor to Dessert Reality Via the Use of a Self-Contained High-Temperature Baking Apparatus.
in other words – dessert party!
because now i got measuring cups.
and bourbon.

If this was my dream, I’d be thinking about the embarrassment of riches in my life. What am I trying to store away in a cabinet for later that perhaps would best be eaten and enjoyed right now?
Also, I’d have to think about the famous UU religious education curriculum “Cakes for Queen of Heaven” which is about reclaiming, reconnecting with, and being empowered by an experience of the divine feminine!
