Last night I had a very vivid dream, which I attribute to having begun taking ferrous sulfate the day before, and also eating two lean sirloin patties, the first beef in five years. I\u2019d also seen Anthony Bourdain<\/a> on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon<\/a> the night before. Here\u2019s the dream.\u00a0 I find myself away from home without a car and Izzy has followed me. I go up to a house that ends up being like a hospital where my galpal Trish is in room 7 or 8 but I can\u2019t find my way back to it. I find a room with my former bff Suzie Miller and others in it, kind of like a sorority place she is the boss of. We say hi as if we never had a falling out years ago. I continue wandering through halls looking for Trish\u2019s room and can\u2019t find it.\u00a0 Then I am somewhere else. Izzy the cat has wandered away and I follow to find him. I come to a big office building where a music festival had gone on in the lot next door the night before. It\u2019s all empty now with equipment and stuff all over. I ask the woman behind the desk for a phone to call a cab. She said they thought I was coming in to borrow. I have money I just need a ride back to Palm Bay.\u00a0\u00a0 <\/p>\n

\u201cWhat kind of business is this?\u201d A receptionist type says it\u2019s not a business, we have a lot of fun here.\u201d\u00a0 It turns out it is Anthony Bourdain\u2019s house. I wander around to ask someone about a phone or phone book to look up a cab \u2013 I think I am just in Cocoa Beach and figure it will be an $80 cab ride and I have a$100 bill.<\/p>\n

I see a fave ex boyfriend Mondale near the kitchen and ask him how to get back home. \u201cI can hook you right up,\u201d he says and I follow him to a lobby and we wait. Then we walk around the corner to another lobby and Bourdain is waiting for us there. He gives Mondale a look like, you goofed up again.<\/p>\n

Anthony and I leave and then are in a small boat going through a harbor with a statue in the middle of it, a historic site with a fence around it and a monument. I can\u2019t read the writing on it, although it\u2019s big enough. The water is choppy and I\u2019m afraid. I turned around in the boat so I can\u2019t see where we\u2019re headed and I\u2019ll just look at Bourdain, who has been talking to me. I can barely hear over the roar of the motor and I miss much of what he\u2019s saying.<\/p>\n

When I turn around, he\u2019s gone and the boat is motoring up a small lightly wooded path in the midst of some light woods. I\u2019m afraid and want to get out but realize he may have done this on purpose \u2013 putting the boat on autopilot for me. I see him swimming like a dolphin in a bay below me. I let the boat take me for a ways, it\u2019s going slowly, then I get out.<\/p>\n

Anthony later asked if his advice helped me. I didn\u2019t tell him that I couldn\u2019t hear most of it.\u00a0 I don\u2019t recall the rest of the dream but I awoke before reaching my location.<\/p>\n

So what gave me the dream?\u00a0 The ferrous sulfate?\u00a0 The beef?\u00a0 My thoughts about the beef?\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait for tonight\u2019s dream!<\/p>\n
