haetan? this is the name of the boy that was in my dream who to my knowledge doesnt exist. he told me in the dream it was pronounced "Hi, Eton". he is tall with medium length hair which is brown but bleached blond in some places. hes dressed in an indie style and wears a cord jacket.
anyway.
i arrive at a cinema by myself. a bouncer man on the door stops me, haetan then gets up from a red plastic bench with three seats which was facing away from me and says hey. i know that haetan and i arent a couple but we act like it. this is our "first date" but i get the feeling ive known him for a while.
when haetan stands up and walks over to me the bouncer lets us through, we go through a light blue hallway, kissing in a romantic way and smiling to each other. the bouncer calls us "young love" and tuts. haetan buys the tickets so i dont know what we are going to see until we enter the theatre. the seats are arranged strangly, some in rows of four at the back, mostly in the normal way but nearer the front there is a dining table that fills the length of the room that people sit along.
haetan and i sit on one of the sets of four seats but there are too many people as some people from my old school appear to already be sitting there. as they check haetan out i notice that his ears are very large...but he turns face on and i notice only one of them is large. he takes the ear off and theres a normal sized one underneath. i think "oh it was only his steering wheel"??? but he uses it like a mobile phone.
he says his friends are by the dining table so we go sit with them on high chairs. i secretly want to sit in the back so i can pull haetan easily but i dont tell him. the film comes on and its some strange black and white french film which looks like an abstract art piece. i wonder why we didnt just go see men in black 2.
i say im going to the toilet which is found through a black passage at the front of the room. when i get to the other end of the passage i see loads of people watching the film standing up behind bars. i wonder if should tell them there are still seats left but i dont.
for some reason i then end up in my bedroom, which is a door away from the movie theatre. i find it very hard to stay awake and sleep in my bed, i then get up and try to leave but i cant find my shoes and feeling like something is holding me back (see fragments).
when i eventually get into the movie theatre haetan has gone and the film is over. i see a crocodile in an aisle and walk past it, then start running. the crocodile is alot faster than i expected it to be and it jumps on me and tries to bite my neck but i push it away with my hand and it gets eaten. this doesnt seem to matter when i leave the theatre and its grown back.
i walk past a milkshake greasy diner type place decorated in yellow and red stripes. i see a friend outside a bank and ask to use her phone to call haetan, but i realise i dont have his number. i walk back to the movie theatre and hes there outside.
i tell him i am really sorry over and over again, and hes much more understanding than i thought he would have been.
we go to the milkshake diner and call it "our first date". he says the other one doesnt count and it doesnt matter.
