Dream I Had

fiat_knoxI was at a convention of some sort. There was this beautiful, brunette, mature woman leading a team of actual, honest to God diplomats - they were staying at the hotel. She had a problem with her computer and printer, but I actually corrected the problem in double quick time, my fingers simply flying over the keyboard to do so, and she received her printouts in time to accomplish her goal in whatever the mission was.
I'm already under the Official Secrets Act from 1992, and these guys already knew this, so they know I can keep a secret.
Afterwards, I was chatting with this brunette lady. She turned to me, thanking me, and asking me what she could give me as a gift of gratitude.
I said "Brunch tomorrow." Her face crashed. I could see that I'd somehow asked for too much, so I smiled and said the following to her:-
"I release you from all obligation to me, and from all perception of obligation." My way of saying "De nada, senora."
In the next part of the dream, it was 23:30, and I was preparing for bed in the hotel room wherein I was staying. There was a knock on the door. It was her.
"I can't do brunch tomorrow, because I have an appointment," she said. "However, I can do breakfast."
At that point, I woke up.

Date: 2008-07-18 07:46 pm (UTC)Important work ahead for you that will be helping others out of a bind. This will put you in line to meet some interesting people and possible bedfellows.
Your automatic assumption that you'd asked for too much is your mind's way of saying you've gotten too used to disappointment in others' (particularly women) reactions to you. So much so that when you hear something that sounds or seems like rejection, you assume that it is before hearing the person out. When, in fact, you might have someone who just needs something at a different time or place but your reaction to them like there's rejection doesn't give them a chance to tell you otherwise. But that there will come a point when one will have the intention to override your disappointment and assumptions and will surprise you.
