At my new date’s home for a family lunch

Date: 7/8/2023

Sweetest dream I’ve had in a long time!!! It left me with a sense of peace. I’m at this new guy’s place, a very modern, spacious apartment in Rome. It belongs to a happy and loving family. Parents are my dad’s age and children mine. First it’s like I’m FaceTiming with their son, a very handsome brown-eyed man who’s pottying non chalantly while he talks to me. Weirdly, that feels so natural! When he goes to the living room, his mom shows up and she speaks Italian! She’s lovely and very warm to me, I tell her she’s a beautiful woman! Then I am actually there with them all. The young man’s name is Ibrahim or Ezechiel, possibly the second one because I have it saved on my phone under “Exki”. I’m invited to take part at their family lunch. There are a brother and a sister (maybe), an uncle, grandparents… it feels like such a loving family!! Everyone has a fancy napkin to the the right of their plate, they’re embroidered with words from the Bible and the family plays this game which is in reality more of a prayer where everyone reads theirs out loud. I love it!! His father is an explorer or something, has a lot of science books and geographic magazines. He tells me and everyone else that he’s the one who found me for his son because his son had been single for quite a long time now. He wears glasses and has a friendly face and is light-skinned, while his son is a little darker. After lunch him and I retreat to his room, which is more like an attached apartment and it gets soooooo sweet! He is such a gentleman and so good at communicating his feelings!! He puts on the movie of his childhood on a huge tv screen while he sits/lie down on the floor, making a fortune bed with very fancy pillows and a blanket. The movie is indeed a child growing up in the Middle East. I don’t pay much attention to that. I tell him “if I lie down with you I’ll fall asleep immediately” because I sincerely feel too tired for anything else. He listens to me, lies down and closes his eyes as to tell me it’s alright if I do! His touch is comforting and loving and I feel like I’m at the right place. When I get up to leave, because I think it’s a social obligation, he tells me in his charming way “another ten minutes, don’t go so soon, stay with me a little longer, we were just getting there!”. His body is beautiful, broad, fit, he’s wearing nothing but boxer briefs. He’s standing by the doorframe and tells me he knows how it feels when you think you’ve wasted your time in previous relationships, but that’s ok, I’m not late, he reassures me. I end up going and he walks me to the entrance. I make sure I ask his little niece (or who was she?) to give me back the gift I gave her: it’s the blue key to my grandparents’ gate and I promise I’m just making a copy for her, so that I can keep the original. Then I go downstairs to the garage/parking space and get my bicycle. I ride back home (Paris?) anticipating the moment I arrive and text him all went well and let him know how much I loved spending time at his place! During the ride home at night I follow a bike lane and end up passing by hoards of transgender prostitutes deep in a conversation according to which first men to change sex were the Albanians. ______________ Last part of the dream: I’m with my grandma G, kind of “inside a movie”, going down a laboratory designed like a mine. On a lower level she spots grandpa L out. He plays the role of an old sick man tired of working! I ask her if she wants to go see him or say hi. She cries and says no!! She wants out because Grandpa has never been nice to her like she wanted! He never “talked” to her!
