elephant drawing

As I was looking for my Skunk Girl adventures of last summer in my volumes of notes on yellow, legal paper (you will have to wait for Skunk Girl - I probably have ADD, and I got sidetracked), I came across this unconscious doodle of 5-26-03, which was still next to my phone, when I had the following dream on 5-29-03. I saved it. A premonition? Probably not, just a little unconscious preoccupation.

I am staying in a hotel in Boulder. I go to visit a friend in the apartment upstairs, but I hear noises, get scared, and leave. I go back to my own room and decide to wash my hair. I think about going back upstairs, but I'm still scared.

Scene changes to wandering around the streets of Boulder with wet hair, wearing a long Tshirt. I head back to the hotel, walking past a number of boutiques. I am standing on top of a hill overlooking the hotel. Something is going on in the front courtyard. There are three or four (you guessed it , folks) elephants -actually they are people in blown-up balloon, elephant costumes - playfully bouncing around in a shallow pit, like a sandbox.

When I arrive at the courtyard, a woman hands me a small rectangular plastic bag, and tells me to fill it up from a larger garbage bag, full of shredded vegetables and cooked pasta. She says something about taking my bag into the pit to play with the elephants. I am not sure that I want to get my sneakers dirty. The end.

Now look at me, playing with the elephants.
