I had a really strange dream last night.
My parents and I were at the funeral of somebody who was connected to my Aunt (I don't know who the girl was, but she was young – in her 20's).
Anyway, we arrived at the funeral home – it was an inconspicuous looking building. But, when we went inside, we found that it actually had a large auditorium extending underground. And at the bottom of it was a small ice rink. And I was thinking "What's going on here?!"
Anyway, we sat down. Then some guy walked past and I thought "Is that...?! Oh my goodness, it is!!!" Unfortunately, I don't actually remember who he was, except that he was a Canadian skater. Next thing I know, I spot Elladj Baldé walking down the stairs, and I go and have a chat with him.
After he leaves, it suddenly hits me that I just missed an opportunity to an autograph off him. But, for once, I didn't have a pen or paper with me. Then I realised that he could have signed the
CaroLiza_fan T-shirt I had made on holidays last year, which (just by chance) I was wearing underneath. But that would have required a permanent marker, and who carries one of those around with them all the time?! (Not me, anyway!)
Then I remembered that there was a shop at the top of the auditorium. So I went up there, and I was a bit hesitant about going in, because the shopkeeper and the guy he was talking to looked really dodgy! But, eventually I did, and when I saw the prices I near died myself! The shopkeeper was definitely taking advantage of having a captive audience! But, I found a stand with pens, and got a permanent marker.
When I came out of the shop, I could see down into the auditorium, and I saw the first skater that had walked past us, Elladj and another skater (who was also Canadian) standing alongside the ice.
So, I hurried off to the toilets to get the T-shirt off. And when I got back, I found that Elladj was just finishing his routine.
I had missed the whole show!
Then the funeral procession arrived, and I woke up.
I know why the dream featured my Aunt – I had been showing my Mum something on her Facebook page not long before I went to bed. But as to why Elladj and another 2 Canadian skaters were in it, I haven’t a clue! Unless it has something to do with the fact that my Aunt’s husband has relatives that live in Canada.
So, that is the first dream I have had about skaters that I have been able to tell you about. I hope you enjoyed it.
