I find myself walking around an upmarket department store in the town I lived in about ten years ago. I have a shopping trolley and appear to be looking for items in order to prepare a meal or rather contribute some items towards a picnic I’ll be attending a little later on.The main item on my shopping list is a cook book and it’s very important I find one I feel adamant that I won’t be leaving the shop until I’ve located one.
Fortunately I find a big chunky country cook book that is just what I was looking for I add it to my basket and then head over to the chilled section to pick up some snacks for the picnic. I start to select and pick up pre-prepared snacks like potato crisps, mini sausages on sticks etc, this seems to go against the grain of buying a cookery book but it also seems like a quick solution and besides it’s a picnic I’m going to and not as if I were going to be cooking a fancy meal.
As I walk around the supermarket I start to look at the legs of some of the female shoppers who are wearing skirts, I seem to do this simply because I find their legs so attractive although I think there is also a symbolic element here too as I seem to be dreaming of women’s legs a lot just lately?
Later on I find myself at a very beautiful green park in fact it is more like a playing field or meadow, I am here with all of the people who invited me along all of whom are French. Everyone is having a wonderful time playing games and relaxing the atmosphere is one of carefree childishness.
As I open up the packets of snack I bought and lay them about on the picnic blanket I take a moment to watch the French play their games. One couple play a game with some blue and white toy guns that look sort of like ice cream cones and which fire ping pong balls, the idea being that you fire the ball into the air and your friend catches the ball in the cone of his gun ready to fire again a bit like tennis (this was actually a real toy I remember from the 1970’s, I was very surprised that my subconscious dredged this one up from this far back! I guess it is probably relevant otherwise why would I recall such an obscure old symbol?).
I see that quite a few of the females have brought huge drum kits with them along on the picnic these aren’t little drums but are full kits that a proper band would use. The women are having great fun playing the drums and appear to be loving it in fact they actually play extremely well all at the same time making a kind of music together smiling at one another cheerily.
I reflect and think that their drums must be extremely important to them as they must have gone to a great deal of trouble to bring the bulky instruments all the way to the picnic area although their efforts seem to have paid off as playing outdoors in the open air like this seems to be ideal and perfect for them.
