Three Tickets

Saturday, December 30th, 2006

I just finished my one-year co-op work term at Business Objects and that same night, I had one of the most vivid dreams I had in a long time.

Dream start

I was in a store buying either bus or train tickets.  The ticket seller was a young East Indian guy who I think is currently in co-op in Business Objects.  He gave me three tickets: two green ones and a purple one.  I asked him, "You gave me two green tickets.  Don’t I need an orange one?".  He replied, "Oh yeah.  Hmm, it seems I sold two green ones and a purple one throughout the day."  I was peering at his ticket dispenser and indeed the dispenser for the two green ones have been used.  He gave me the purple ticket and I spread them out on the counter.  I saw single words were written on the tickets:

Purple - ??? (I forgot what word)

Green - Desktop

Orange - Connection

I paid the guy and promptly went out the store.  Outside, it was night time and I was at the parking lot.  I was walking along when I saw a middle-aged woman driving a small car…

Dream end

…And then my sister woke me up to drive her to work.
