good dream advice

Some dreams seem to be very significant.I record them and look for meaning. Which does not mean that I understand them...
It's the middle of the night: I'm very cold. Not sure why, the night is not very cold. But I'm cold. So I turn on the electric blanket, set it to maximum heat. I also move closer to Deb, who always glows with maximum heat. As I warm up I fall asleep. And dream: 
We are chatting with a Chinese family. (I have no idea who they could be. But I know we are all good friends.) I am chatting with the adult children. discussing the menu in their restaurant (Am I hungry? I don't think so)
The family matriarch and patriarch talk to me. They are my age, therefore old enough to give advice. They say, Is it true that you and Deb have not had sex for a while? I admit it, with a vague and embarrassed  explanation. You should have sex now, they tell me.
I walk to Deb, jump on top of her and start sex. We did not mean here and now, is a comment from the couple giving advice.
The adult children show me samples of printing their menu on fancy paper.
I wake up warm with an erection and a smile.
As I wake up I think, The electric blanket certainly is effective at warming the bed. Then I find out that it is switched off. Turning it on was part of the dream. My dreaming mind certainly knows how to warm me up :-)

imagine Sids Rapids

This morning We spend about an hour and a quarter jogging round Walyunga. Beautiful weather, beautiful location, good company:-)
In the carpark is a walking group, "Is this our car?" we hear. Just the two of us is company enough. (And I'm glad to say I do recognise our car.) Though I do have to go a bit faster when following Deb. The penalty of running with a younger woman.
Deb considers following an allTrails track but no... there is no signal. So we just go.
Near Sids Rapids a smaller river rushes in to join the Avon. Would make a beaut photo, I think. Then I think: the camera is on the phone, the phone is in a water(and sweat)proof bag. Can't be bothered getting it out. So we run on.
Coming back, we try again but... the rapids must be further away than we remember.
So: imagine [here] a photo of a stream rushing and bubbling over stones. Very pretty. If you imagine correctly.

a bon mot

It really cheers me up to get in just the right response. A straight question which leads into my own bon mot...

We're at the shops. Deb goes into the chemist, I wait outside.
I'm tackled by a woman from a pop-up stand.
She mentions athritis, I listen politely, I think she's collecting.
Turns out she's selling. A blanket (I think) which uses magic (or some such) to cure aches and pains.
Do I have athritis? she asks, No. Do I have aches and pains? No, What is my most pressing medical issue? she asks, desperate for a sales opening. Terminal cancer, I reply. Ha! end of conversation :-)
Hours later, I'm still pleased.

two types

There are two types of people in the world: those who see two types of people and those who don't. lol
To me, there are: people that I want to talk with, to find out more about, to listen to, to understand... Then there are people who provide little interest, I talk briefly, listen quickly, find out very little, have no interest in finding out more.
I'm thinking of this because today my eyes are checked and the eye doc is one of those people with whom I fail to communicate.
I ask, are my eyes much worse? I get no answer.
I turn to Deb, ask her, wtf is going on? Deb is able to find out that my eyes are a little bit worse after three years. Okay.
I have a similar problem with the cancer doc. she fails to communicate, I fail to ask for more detail. I have little interest in more talk. Just as well Deb goes with me.
It may be obvious that Deb (and her sister, btw:-) are in the category of, I'd like to talk more).
