King of Queens
I watch “King of Queens” on rare occasions, so I’m not quite sure where this dream came from.
I was traveling with Doug Heffernan (the IPS delivery guy in “King of Queens”) in a mid-sized sedan around town. There was a road that circled the entire city, and it was that road that we were on. As we moved around, this floating map in front of the car tracked our movements as a little red dot on a city map. It wasn’t quite the same as having a GPS mounted on the dashboard because this map seemed to be a holographic projection that hovered just above the hood of the car.
The reason that we were traveling around town was that his friend, and co-worker, Deacon was looking for his son that was kidnapped. It was our job to search the city for the kidnapper and the child. We seemed to aimlessly wander the city in the blue sedan without much luck until Doug’s cell phone rang. Actually, it was the annoying chirp-CHIRP of the Nextel walkie-talkie service. It was Deacon on the other end. They had found the kidnapper, and the kidnapper wanted peaches in exchange for the child’s safe release.
Doug and I had passed a farmer’s market that was selling peaches out of the cube-shaped milk jug holders. (You know the ones. You made book shelves out of them during college.) We didn’t know how many peaches to get, so we bought every single one of them and started loading them up in the sedan. The farmer was nice enough to help us out with the loading. There was a huge pile of the peaches, and we weren’t sure we could fit them all in the car, but as we loaded up the car, there always seemed to be enough room for more.
Damn. The alarm went off before I could find out what happened with Deacon’s child, the peaches, or why I was hanging out with a TV show character that annoys me. Oh well. Maybe I’ll get to finish a dream tonight.
