Dream of: 16 December 2013 "The Fortune Teller"
I'm on the large business lot which my father owns in New Boston, Ohio. Recalling that my father has rented out the brick office building on the lot to a fortune teller, I decide to have my fortune told. I've never even met the fortune teller before, but I have the feeling that her name is Rosita. I walk into the building and I meet her. She's a black-haired gypsy-type (probably in her mid 30s) with bright red lipstick. She's attractive but I'm not attracted to her. We face each other and she scrutinizes my face. I don't really believe in fortune-telling to begin with, but I think this might be interesting. I decide to show no expression because I don't want to give her any facial cues. I slightly smile once, but I quickly stop because I don't want to betray any hints about what I'm thinking. As she stares at me, her face puckers up and her eyes cross so they're both looking straight at her nose. She is perplexed, almost catatonic, as she tries to figure me out. She finally stops and walks outside.
*I look around the room. Until now, I hadn't paid any attention to the interior. Three plush maroon armchairs are sitting in one corner. A couple attractive antique wooden bureaus are sitting against one wall.
I look outside and notice that quite a few people are gathered out there in front of the building and on both sides. I start thinking that this might not be a good time to have my fortune told since so many people are outside and the fortune teller could be making money by telling their fortunes.
I walk outside and see a slightly chubby woman (about 30 years old) who had come here with me. She's dressed in off-white. I had forgotten about her (she indistinctly resembles Fuzzyant, a woman whose dreams I first started reading on the Dream Journal web site in 2009). I tell her that I'm going to go ahead and leave.
The fortune teller and I then walk back inside the building and I tell her I think I'll wait and come back another time because she could make some money from the other people. I also say "You owe me," because I paid her $20 to tell my fortune, and she still hasn't done anything. I reflect that she makes her appointments by phone, but I don't want to simply call her later and tell her that I'm coming to see her. I tell her I'll wait until one day when I see only one car here. Then I'll stop and wait until she's finished with that one person. She agrees with me and she walks back outside.
I'm sitting on the side of a bed and I'm ready to stand up, when a tall slender fellow walks in from outside. Around 30 years old, he's wearing a white tee-shirt and looks like a redneck. He's carrying a rifle which he points at the wall behind me, and fires. He then turns the rifle toward the west wall and fires again. For a moment, it doesn't even fully register with me what he's done, but when I finally realize that he's shooting holes in the white stucco walls, I order, "Get out, buddy".
He takes offense and he fires the rifle again. I'm surprised the rifle is able to be fired so many times. As he starts to walk out a door in the rear of the building, he turns back around and points the rifle right at me. I blurt, "You crazy bastard." He turns and walks out of the building. I just sit here, feeling numb, leaning over on the bed.
