Dreaming

I put my hand into a tray of crystals. I pull out a green jewel-like one, but stuck to it, like a magnet, is a yellow one, and I hear someone say, “Yellow Citrine.”

I am talking to a man; he tells me he really likes Susie, but can’t have a relationship with her unless she is quieter. I want Susie to meet this man, as I feel that they may be soulmates, so Susie, Alison, and I walk around the shops, searching in various shops for the man.

The shops are very extravagant. There is a whole street of lingerie shops and another street of shops with costume jewellery and accessories. I am in awe of it all; there are many lovely colours everywhere, especially gold and pink. I am aware that the time is 5.30 pm, and although the shops are open, there is no one around.

We go into the foyer of Starbucks, Susie and Alison order a very expensive, luxurious coffee, and I joke with the owner that I won’t have to pay the expensive prices as I dislike coffee. He laughs and says I can have a fruit juice instead – freshly made. There is a choice of two juices and one other drink. I choose a drink, and the owner goes to make it. It takes ages; he brings it to me, and I pay him £3, but I dislike it.

Susie and Alison are still waiting for their drinks; they are also still sitting in the foyer, but I am sitting inside where it is very exclusive. I know the man we are searching for is inside too, but I don’t know where, and I can’t see him.
