Dream: Heart of Jade

I had this terrible, terrible, terrible dream last night. I only remember bits and pieces of it, almost like skipping forward several scenes in a film. I remember being in a house, a large, expensive, luxurious home. For some reason or another, I was there with my foster family (who had long since given me up). Then I got into an argument with my current roommate and retreated, crying, to the arms of my boyfriend as my foster family continued their debate over what name brand designer was truly most fashionable.

The dream then shifts to me going to the mall with my boyfriend. I then run into an old high school friend who I had also scheduled to meet at the mall... same time, same place. He was upset, said he'd go to another store and then left (that was the last I saw of him). I then went into a shoe store and saw these bizarre pairs of flats that were very bjork-esque... they were of swans and flamingos. As I was admiring these unique soles, my boyfriend drew my attention to this jewelry display box. In this clear box were several pieces of jewelry: earrings, necklaces, (charm) bracelet, and something else. Each piece had deep green jade set in it. The earrings were square pieces of jade. The necklace was a heart-shaped piece of jade (with a black keyhole painted on it), and the bracelet had a jade house charm hanging from it. "Pick one," he told me. I looked at him over my shoulder, "really?" To this, he nodded. I focused on each piece of metallic and stone beauty. "I can't." I said. "What, why not?" I looked at all this beauty trapped in a plastic, locked prison. "You pick." I told him. He seemed confused, so I explained further "Whatever piece you pick to give me... I will love it. But not as much as you." He smiled and then asked an employee if they had a chain for the heart of jade.

And then I woke up.
