I'll be honest, I'm not a fan of coffee. I could easily leave it, I have a few jars in my cupboard but it's not a drink that is frequently consumed in this house. We prefer the quintessentially English cup of tea, thanks. Apart from very few exceptions, I don't really have any friends who drink it regularly either. My friend Dean had this to say:
"It's not cool to drink coffee and get stoned off the fumes or whatever they do. I don't understand the principles of it personally, I think it's a waste of time."
But I have a great coffee last night. I even said it, there and then: "That was the best coffee I've ever had". Except it was a dream.
Now, dreams are a very normal occurrence to me, but the dreams themselves are quite the opposite of normal. I find myself on dreammoods.com every few nights trying to decipher them. I'll admit I think sometimes you do dream about nonsense and it means nothing, but I believe a lot of what we dream about is related and connected to something in our lives when we are awake.
The other part of this dream consisted of me moving house, from an already nice house, into this one. It was in one of those very US-style suburban areas... Like 'Wisteria Lane' but with less trees. Maybe I've been watching too much TV. My stuff was packed into nice neat cardboard boxes and then easily just carried over to the new house, and getting the place carpeted and furnished wasn't a problem. It was really nice. But an inexplicable 'nice' where I found myself telling someone about it right after waking up, despite it not being the most exciting or weird dream. Maybe I have some weird thing for organised moving. Maybe I should get into the moving industry.
But is weird is I still want that Coffee. Sure, you're thinking "Why don't you get one then you freak, you said you had a few jars."
I can't, I don't want that. It needs to be in one of those cups, like you get in Costa or something. Just like the dream.
I can't even explain what it was really like, but I WILL FIND THE DREAM COFFEE.
Any suggestions?
