Dream Come True

Last night I dreamed that in the mail came two passports, one for myself and one for my wife, wrapped in shiny gold foil. Also in the mail came two gold bars slightly larger in size than a checkbook box each.

When I got home from work and opened the door, there in front of me were two red, white and blue priority mail envelopes containing our passports. They were not wrapped in gold foil, but the site of them still excited me. Unfortunately the two gold bars were also absent. This didn't surprise me since sending gold bars through the mail would be all too great of a target for a 'lost package' opportunity.

Now at first to dream about receiving passports and that very day receiving them might seem uncanny, miraculous even. The only miracle here was that government did something quickly and efficiently. Probably because we were in no hurry. It would have been more miraculous had we not applied for our passports on January 2nd. So yes, while I had not thought about them for at least a week, passports were on my mind recently. As such, having a dream about them (the first since we applied) is not at all unusual. Given the waiting period, there was perhaps a 1 in 93 chance for the passports to arrive on a given day. So nobody get any ideas about denouncing me as a witch with second sight and tying me to a stake for a good old fashioned burning. Besides, I drink so much I'd go up all too quickly and be no fun at all. Might even explode and take a few of you with me. And it would be your own damn fault. Let that weigh heavy on your conscience.

And I was wrong about the gold bars, damn it! Perhaps the gold bars elude to the crock of gold in Irish myth. Fucking symbolic references.

Addendum:

In further synchronicities, that night I went to the strip club to see my favorite dancer perform (the one who has had actual dance training and is fucking amazing to watch move). Her first song of the evening was the same one that was playing in the truck as I parked; Jesus and Mary Chain/Just Like Honey. With these two synchronicities yesterday I am a little concerned this morning after waking up from a dream where both of my parents suddenly died. My first thought both in the dream and immediately upon waking, "Take care of the herd."
