Gathering Greens
I was still resting my body from the effort of hosting a Musica Donavania event, so I went back to bed in the early afternoon, and slept soundly.
There was a very long sequence before what is remembered. At the start of memory, a woman was making pasta sauce. There was apparently something unusual about this sauce, perhaps it had magical intent. She lamented she had no greens to add to the sauce. I asked if she wanted met to bring some, and she answered "Yes".
I took a shallow stainless steel bowl about 12 inches across and went out into the garden. First I picked some edible leaves from a tree, but I don't remember what kind. Then I picked leaves from grape vines. I picked only a few, because they were just starting to leaf out and needed the leaves.
I was concerned that the leaves available to me would be too coarse for the sauce, but they were all I had.
I then set my bowl down while looking for mallows and lamb's quarters, which grow as weeds in the garden. I was having trouble finding any. When I returned to pick up my bowl, there was a very young woman standing nearby. She was expensively dressed and obviously from a wealthy family. I picked up the bowl and she asked me what I was doing. I just told her I was gathering leaves.
I took my bowl and moved on. The young woman was following me, which I did not like, but there seemed to be nothing I could do about it.
At this moment my phone rang with what I was sure was a spam call and
ignored it. The ring was not loud, but my phone rings many times, so I was
unable to continue with the dream.
