vivilee's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ottawa Merry Christmas. Had a dream last night, been a long time since I remembered a dream. In it, I was travelling within Ottawa. I actually lived in the suburbs of Ottawa and I was visiting the city for some reason and trying to get back to the suburbs via a subway type of train that was above ground. It was sunny. After finding my way to the right train, I realized at the last minute just before boarding that I had lost my wallet. I had no i.d. on me at all. No money, no drivers license etc. I kind of went into a semi-panic but then I just sort of sat down and waited. I remember thinking that would be okay but that I had a lot to do. Key symbols: Ottawa - surprisingly nice city, lots of water, clean, friendly, low key, a little more relaxed than Toronto Subway above ground - nicer than travelling underground, going up, moving up, better scenery Stairs going up - always good sign, moving up in world, going to a higher level, I did it relatively easy in my dream No i.d. - no identity in the world, no way to prove who I really am, no way of getting anything like more money out of the atm machine, in an unfamiliar place really hard to manage Lost wallet - no money, no identification, yet I didn't go into a severe panic, no way to go back to the suburbs, no money for even a telephone call Perhaps a need for change. A new identity. A new start? A new city. New scenery. Everything. I know it's going to be scary -- like losing all your i.d. but, it's something I've been thinking of doing for awhile. I remember Ivan and I tried to think of a city better than Toronto and we couldn't come up with anything. But, we didn't discuss Ottawa. We went to Ottawa just this summer. I remember thinking it was a nice city. 10:45 a.m. - 2002-12-25 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
