I dreamt that I, in the guise of Danisha (FSM #14's alter
ego), decided to pay Claude a surprise visit to medieval
Paris. I dressed up in my new purple wool pantsuit, brand
new boots, and that black mink cloak Claude gave me that
first Christmas.
Somehow, when I pressed that pager button, I landed on the
opposite end of Paris. It was winter; it was windy, cold,
and snowing very heavily. I was scared because I'd never
been in this part of Paris before.
It was also well after dark; obviously, nearly everyone was
inside. No way would people be out on a night like
this.
I ducked inside an old abandoned house (I don't remember
how I got in!). I got out my flashlight and then lit
a cigarette (!) Please remember that
Nisha has recently quit smoking and she still fights
'nicotine fits' every now and then.
Anyway, I
called up Claude on the pager and told him I was lost. He
responded and told me to stay put; he'll be on his way.
I couldn't wait any longer so I started walking. It got
really windy and it snowed even harder. I slipped on the
ice and fell a couple of times - I think I tore my new
pantsuit.
Anyway, I reached Notre Dame and sat down on
the steps. I hadn't the energy to bang on the door. I was
tired and extremely cold.
Claude appeared before me. He was astride Snowball, and was dressed in that same outfit he wore in the beginning of the film. He was very patient and loving when he took me to the P of J. He said he knew I wouldn't stay put, and he knew I would eventually find my way to the Place de Notre-Dame.
Now here's the strange part. Once we're back at the Palais, Claude orders a hot bath for me. But one of the new servants objects to waiting on a Black person and Claude really lays into this person. I couldn't remember what was said; all I can recall is this person not wanting to touch me because I'm Black. Then Claude really chews this person out.
Anyway, the last details I recall are these:I know...I have weird dreams!
