commitment

we hang out every single day; he took care of me while i was sick this whole week. "i'm taking care of you today," he said. yesterday he bought me this cute toy pug !!! he mentions marriage sometimes, often while drunk, and gradually while sober... i feel such split feelings over marriage in general. but i woke up early at 5AM one morning last week. it dawned on me that i could totally marry him, that i totally felt he was my soul mate. but i always waver. i guess that's normal. it needs to stand the test of time.
his cousin gerald, who i knew as my neighbor a few years ago, "re-met" me as dave's girl and he called dave to say that we looked really good together! that i seem really comfortable with dave. that i looked beautiful. he called just to say that. dave thought that was so sweet. so did i.

(dave's only symbolically in this dream)
we were promoting the new world trade center, which was to be two sky-high building connected by a bridge. the women and men were to get people to this party. it felt very icoc but i kept getting reassured that it had nothing to do with it. steve johnson was there, though.
the women decided to start by making a list of all the girls they knew whose name started with an "M." the guys started with the guys they knew from "A" to somewhere in the middle of the alphabet. they had a lot more people, and they gathered on some flat plot of ground near the construction site at the corner of "D" street. i was still confused about the purpose of all this. was it for a party to set off the opening, or what? the guys started what looked like a devo on the D street spot. (nowhere in nyc is there a D street, only in washington...)
then there were some arguments b/w architects over the structure of the building, because it's original plans were altered.
