My parents were in town (here) to visit, and were coming over to see me. They were also visiting other friends in the area. (I'm presuming these friends were Marshall and Theresa, who actually moved away from here a few years back; Marshall died a few weeks ago. My parents don't know anyone else here, besides my friends.) So, for some reason, we couldn't seem to get together. Somehow, I got kinda bored waiting for them, and wandered (walked, I think, 'cause it wasn't far in my dream) to AbbaDabba's. It was the one in Little Five, but it was in a different place, and, in addition to shoes and a few quirky accessories, it also had a lot of bright flowy clothing, which I adored. I was actually looking for something specific, although I don't know what it was. I know I wanted it to wear while my parents were here, though. There was this alcove-like area, and it led into what was either a bedroom-like room, or suite of rooms, all decorated in that flowy-flimsy style. Lots of pillows, canopy silk, that sort of thing. Kinda harem-like. (I'm not 100% sure this is where this happened... my memory of the chronology of the dream is shaky. I just remember there was a first time, and a second time, so I'm guessing the first time was here.) Anyway,
dai_syn somehow ended up in this little alcove with me, and we were lying on the bed, talking. He had that look on his face like he always does, sort of a bemused, teasing look, although in the dream, I took it to be more flirty, suggestive. We talked about all sortsa stuff, although I can't remember what it was. Somehow, though, we ended up kissing. Not deep passionate kissing, but kissing more like his expression - teasing. Like, he had said something about it, in a teasing way, but still with that note of authority he has. Kinda like, since he knew I'd always wanted to do that, he was humoring me, but made it clear he was still in control of the situation. He seemed more amused by it, like it was a pleasant experiment, and he liked watching my reactions to it. I was left feeling a bit flushed, excited, teased, and bemused, myself.
Anyway, I left there alone, and headed home. I was still in Atlanta, but was also somehow in the house I'd grown up in in Indiana. I was there for a while, puttering around, and
spy_isis,
toguspyder, and
dai_syn drove up. My parents still weren't around, but I was supposed to leave to meet them soon. We chatted for a while, and somehow,
dai_syn and I ended up upstairs in the bedroom again. We were talking again, and he was saying something about medical stuff, showing me what to do if something happened to him. He had a little (subQ) syringe, and was talking about injections of whatever medicine (I think it was heart-related) to use in the circumstances we were talking about. Somehow, in the middle of the conversation, he just kinda reached over and gave me a shot with the syringe. He gave me the shot just to the side of my sternum, kinda in the side of my breast. I was sorta lying down, and he was sitting above me. I must have been topless for this to occur, but I don't recall being topless in the dream, or else I was, and it was no big deal, so much so that neither of us noticed. I felt almost nothing with the injection, and commented that he gave good shots.
"So do you," he replied with more much seriousness that one would have thought that statement needed. "Completely painless." He seemed lost in thought for a while after this, and I remember being somewhat flattered about it, but also a bit confused. (In the dream, I had apparently given him shots before. In real life, I never have. The only friends I've given shots to were Dawn and Frog.)
Anyway, we went downstairs to hang out with everyone else again, and I finally left to see my parents. I was meeting them in a mall, like Phipps or Lenox. Huge contrast between their upscale world and my hippie world (AbbaDabbas). I remember wondering if they were gonna be upset, since I rarely saw them, and had run late because of hanging out with friends, and knowing I wouldn't have blamed them if they had been, since I hated giving up time to spend with them when I was visiting there. I saw them coming towards me in the mall. I think they were with friends. I think I vaguely remember greeting them before I woke up.
