I had an odd dream last night. I was in the back seat of a convertible and we pulled up to my old school, St.Pet's. Cyndy was sitting shotgun and Rich was driving. I was spinning a basketball on my finger when we pulled over. Rich asked if I was going to get Dan. "He's still in school?" I asked. He told me it was a monastary. Noticing that we had stopped alongside the rectory I jumped out with the basketball and asked if either of them would come in with me, that I could show them around. They just sat there without responding. I went through the double doors. I remember the dense red carpet that just slightly shifted under each step. I climbed the winding staircase and went to Dan's tiny cell. He was dressed in a thick cloak and wore a russian cossack. He was kneeling beside the narrow bed praying with beads in his hands. I stood at the foot of the bed and asked him if he wanted to play basketball. He didn't reply so I started bouncing the ball and implored him to join us. He finally looked away from the beads and I stopped dribbling. He asked me how I expected to play without any socks to cover my feet. I looked down and was shocked to find my bare feet. Telling me that he had socks that I could wear, he reached under the pillow and handed them to me. The socks were stiff, made out of some polyester vail-like material with some intricate embroidered pattern that looked familiar but I couldn't place where I had seen it. I sat on the edge of the bed and pulled them over my feet to find them incredibly too big. I started to twist them hem and as they wound tighter they resembled ordinary socks. Finally finishing I was eager to go play basketball and Dan even rose to his feet as though he planned to leave with me to the courts. We were about to leave when two very tall priests entered the room and told me to leave because Dan needed to pray. I told them that we were about to go play basketball. They looked at him disapprovingly then turned to me saying that he was not the one to make plans and that he had to stick to the "schedule". Dan went to the side of the bed and knealt back down to pray. The priests grabbed me by the arms and dragged me out of the rectory. They left me at the sidewalk. It was raining and there was no sign of Rich and Cyndy. That's when I awoke.
