Birds

April 6, 2020 | Washington | 20-29 years

I was in New York City (a place I have not been). It was the end of college (which is also true for me IRL). My friends were a mixed-aged group of people—some of whom I knew well, some of whom I did not. In the dream, they all loved birds. Sometimes they did makeup that made them look like birds. I knew they were my friends but I didn’t like them very much. I felt a lot of pressure to decide where to move now that college was over. I went to the basement apartment where my partner (we are quarantined separately) lived, but he had moved away. I called him on the phone and talked to him about where we were going to move. It felt very important to make the decision right there, over the phone.
