War games

[boccaderlupo]

I dreamed I went to go fight in a war. It was unclear if it was the real thing or just play acting. I went with a few of the fellows from my old band. We were somewhere in the mountains of Italy, some pass facing north. There were long rows of bright red lockers, stacked up maybe 12 feet high, out of which you would be equipped. They gave us some hokey Class As and no weapons, and we were expected to march. Mine had a large button that said "Deputy Captain" in giant block letters, and I was supposed to wear it on my lapel like you were at some kind of convention. I milled around for awhile while the other guys got ready, breath shimmering, and then we proceeded past the lockers, creeping slowly along frost-covered ground.

I dreamed my daughter had finally finished up a season in her pro wrestling club. The parents were all celebrating, and a guy who ran the club, who looked like an oversized version of my cousin in Sabina, gave each other a celebratory headbutt. We were setting up a picnic of some kind in front of a gas station near city hall in my old hometown. My daughter, hyper, did a series of cartwheels, and we all sat down to eat.
