CL and I were on a quadruple date with: Ann & Alex, Mr. & Mrs. P, and Andrew and some very thin, buck-toothed white guy. I think they were lovers.

We were at an outdoor music festival-type thing, in a big open space with white stretchy tent structures randomly placed in the field (they looked like the Denver airport). We looked up and someone said, "That's a nasty sky there. Looks like it's gonna storm."

In another part of this scene, I was suddenly looking down on an Italian piazza from a third or fourth floor balcony. Circus animals had been released from the auditorium in which they'd been performing, because Fox Mulder was on the loose, and "They" wanted to scare him, but not kill him. The animals went wild, eating people, clawing them to death, but from my distance they were the most beautiful beings I'd ever seen. They were shiny, slick, saturated with their animal-ness. I saw a jaguar whose sleek black fur was covered with rich red blood, and I thought, "How amazing."

Then there was a montage of Mulder's past four years -- his identity had been stolen, then erased, and then he found his documents again. I was on a busy street, and suddenly I was in Scully's role. As soon as I realized this, I felt a rush of love, and closeness -- I knew he was nearby. Then he passed by and handed me a brown folder with the words "you're my holder" on it. In my dream I understood it to mean that I was his witness, I was the one carrying his information for him while he was being chased.

The Mulder part of the dream comes from me falling even further in love with "Walking After You" after listening to it last night on the way home. What a lovely song.

i still love that song - it's so sad that my x-files soundtrack was stolen with the rest of my cds so many years ago, cause i heard that song a couple of weeks ago, and i realized i need another copy of it...

also (probably because i've been listening to the "american wedding" soundtrack so much), i've been hearing songs recently, thinking about their fitness as a "first dance" song at a wedding, and even though i don't even know all the words to "walking after you," with the beautiful tune, it seems like a great candidate...

That's funny -- I've not really ever thought of songs in that way before. The tune and feeling of "Walking after you" would work, but I just looked at the words, and, Eh, it's not quite as romantic. Kind of like the Footloose soundtrack. ;)

"Tonight I'm tangled in my
Blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you
Matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

If you'd accept surrender
I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored?
I cannot be without you
Matter of fact
I'm on your back

If you walk out on me
I'm walking after you

Another heart is cracked
In two
I'm on your back "
