In my dreams...
Feb. 26th, 2012 10:24 amI just woke up from the most vivid, realistic dream I've had in a long time. WWII was happening only it was now (current day). We still had a lot of technology we have now, but some parts hadn't advanced yet, like aviation. I was a fighter pilot flying a P-38. We'd just launched this HUGE counter-offensive against Japan. I had hit the point of return on fuel and circled back to refuel and reload.
When I landed I was greeted by Seanan, who was a nurse. She checked me to make sure I was all in one piece. She held me tightly and kissed me hard. Then, without a word, she looked at me and she went to check on the other returning pilots. The look in her eyes had told me everything she didn't say. She didn't want me to go back because I was going to get hurt but she knew it was my duty so she wasn't going to say anything.
Since it was going to be a while before they could refuel, reload and inspect my plane, I thought I'd go and grab something to eat. Seemed since I was still in the middle of the mission, I needed an escort to leave. I was assigned Torrey. We drove around the city a bit looking for somewhere appropriate to eat. She was dressed like a mannequin with a bit of make-up to seal the effect. Every time we drove by a store with a mannequin with an unusual pose, she would strike that same pose briefly before moving on. She asked me how much I was getting paid for being a pilot. I said I wasn't sure, but it was my duty. She nodded knowingly.
On my way back to the base, I lost my ID somewhere. When I got back to the base, I was greeted by Sue and Mojo. She was in charge of allowing entry back into the base (which, of course you needed ID for). She was also puppy sitting for me and had my scruffy little boy there with her. I asked her what I needed to do to get replacement ID. She said she'd check on that for me and let me know.
There were other people around the gate in support of our efforts in the war and giving encouragement to the pilots and soldiers heading into the base. While I was waiting I mingled with the crowd. I showed off my new tattoo (my caffeine molecule). There were many more friends there, amongst them was Mia, Amy, Satyr, Sandi, Chris, Sunnie and Deb. Hugs and kisses and encouraging sentiments were all passed around.
Sue came back out and let me know I'd have my ID really soon. I hugged her and gave scritches to Mojo. I wondered where Maggie was and just about that time I was jolted awake by a cat jumping onto my butt.
"Oh, hi Maggie. I love you." And there were more scritches.
