I was in my same neighborhood, but I knew everyone. It had the feel of that movie Chocolat. I had made some kind of dish for a dinner or party and I called the host. She said I should just come over. I was suddenly very nervous, like I was trying to impress people in the party. I was hoping to see someone, someone I was nervous to see. As I walked up to the house on the other side of the neighborhood I could see strung up lights in a screened room. It looked beautiful. There were plants everywhere inside and chinese lanterns on the ceiling. The tables had a warm glow to each of them from a candle dish and there were little balloons everywhere. She called from the inside of the kitchen that I should just set it down and come help her with the little ones, when suddenly a burst of small children cam careening out and threw themselves at me. I was instantly better feeling and they handed me my hoolahoop. They kept telling me I was to hoop and tugging my hands outside. I hooped for a bit and once they were all yelling and happy I tried something new. Three hoop and me. It didn't work and they all kept laughing and dancing around me. Suddenly someone was walking up the street towards me and my heart crashed into the bottom of the cage that is my ribs and I stopped. The hoop clattering to the floor. The children picked it up and ran off to do something and I just stood there. And right as the person was about to reach me and say something, the phone rang and it was work asking me if I could come in early. I said yes of course and forgot about the dream.
