Kate sighed.
"Truth."
"Chicken."
"Abbs, last time I picked dare I nearly got arrested."
"You wouldn't have been arrested. You exaggerate."
"I pick truth."
"Bawk, Bawk!"
"Abby!"
"OK, OK let me think!"
Abby got up off the couch and started pacing back and forth across her living room. This made Kate very nervous. I'm going to kill DiNozzo.
"OK Kate I want to hear about your last dream. Every single detail," she settled herself in front of Kate on the floor.
"Why would you want to know that?"
"All dreams mean something. I've become quite good at analyzing them. This way you're telling me more things than you think you're telling me." Abby smiled and shrugged.
"Not all dreams mean something Abby. Most dreams are just stupid."
"You'll have no problem telling me all about the last dream you had then, will you?"
Kate held her hands up in surrender.
"OK, OK I'll tell you, but it's really strange and means nothing – just like all my other dreams."
"I'm listening."
Kate took a deep breath and proceeded to tell Abby all about the dream she'd had the night before.
"First I was at some sort of an amusement park. I can't remember who I was with, but I was having fun. I played that game where you throw the balls into the buckets and I won a prize. I was eating ice-cream and laughing and all the other normal stuff you do at a fair. The next thing I know though I'm down in autopsy, sitting on a chair and listening to the rain outside," Kate stopped looking at her lap and looked at Abby. "Then I woke up," she shrugged and waited for her friend's response.
Abby didn't say anything. She didn't even change the expression on her face.
"Well? Aren't you going to analyze it and tell me my deep dark secrets not even I know about?"
"You don't believe in it."
"No, but you do. Tell me what you think it means."
"Nah," Abby grinned. "I will say this much though. Go Kate!" Abby laughed as Kate narrowed her eyes.
"C'mon Abby just tell me what it means."
"You really want to know?"
"Yes, I really want to know."
"Alright. The amusement park means you want to start enjoying life more. You want to have fun and take more risks. Add more amusement to your life."
"OK… and the rest?"
"To win prizes at the fair indicates a true love that will make you happy for the rest of your life," Abby winked and Kate rolled her eyes. "But wait – there's more! You said you were eating ice-cream which symbolizes good luck in matters of the heart. Listening to rain means being blessed with true love. It all points to the same thing Kate!"
Kate looked skeptical.
"You haven't heard the best part yet."
"The best part?"
"Do you know what an autopsy symbolizes in a dream?"
"Enlighten me."
"New and interesting sexual experiences," Abby laughed.
"How can an autopsy possibly symbolize that?"
Abby shrugged. "It just does."
"Well I still don't believe any of it… but I have to say I hope you're right."
OK another chapter over. I don't know when the next will be posted but stay with me. It could be tomorrow or it could be in a few days time. Will definitely be less than a week. Just so you know… the dream symbols are actually true – I didn't make them up – so if you're having dreams with any similarity to Kate… go you! Woo! Hehe goodnight!
