My lazy bastardness had been reaching new highs but I finally had a dream again worthy of writing down.

I had started my way up a series of broad flat gravel steps with wood planks set to seperat the levels. I was pushing up an empty wheel barrow with me. As I ran up the steps the higher I got the warmer I was becoming and I was passing a couple other men walking back down the stairs with towels strung around their necks. I knew I was walking up on my way to a roman bath and was on my way to the outter heat chamber. When I got to the top of the stairs I just pushed the wheel barrow off to the side and went through the arched doorway leading into the bath. The outter chamber was just a small 5 X 5 area with very little decoration and I just took a quick glance at the chamber as I passed through into the main bath. By the time I stepped into the main bath chamber I was naked, although I never paused on the way in to undress. The bath chamber itself was a true full sized roman bath. A huge vaulted ceiling peaked nearly 40 or 50 feet above me, and the bath was approx 15 X 40 area that stretched out to the left and right of me as I went in. Across from me was another vaulted opening to another bathing area or two beyond. The floors were all marble and had slightly raised areas where you could rest and hang your feet in the waters. The walls and ceilings were all covered in mosaics and murals in greens and pale whites. A pair of life sized marble figures adorned the far wall, each one mid way in the wall from where the entrance to the next bath area was. The pool itself was about 4 feet deep and still lined with mosaic tiles. The water was quite warm and you could still see slight wisps of steam rising from the water here and there. There was only one other person in the water, who happened to be Adam Corolla who bemoaned me at first site of complaining that he had just gotten the place to himself and promptly started to swim away to the next room over as I walked down the steps into the water. The bath complex employed a couple 'entertainment' girls who were there for decoration and the comforts of the guests present. One of the girls was off on the right hand side of the area resting nude on the marble bench with her legs tucked up under her looking completely bored while she leafed through some kind of large journal of hers. I swam over and pulled myself up near her, keeping myself in the water mostly at first. She had light blonde hair and was average height and average weight. She had a set of tattoos that ran down her right arm that were a pale brown, kinda like interlocking mosaic tiles and so I asked her about it and she gave me a warm smile and started to tell me about her plans to have it run back and cover most of her back and some of her chest, and she twisted around to show me her back and pulled her hair forward over her shoulder and I could see more of what she's already had done. Coming from her left arm there was a kinda jagged incomplete light gray puzzle pieces/mosaic tiles that crossed over to connect to her light brown ones near the top of her spine. Across her back it was in the pattern of 2 jagged lightning bolts connecting together part way through. Here and there through the mosaic were other items that had mosaic tiles surrounding them, like the items were in the middle of a little one round spiderweb. It felt very organic and looked really good. I pulled myself up the rest of the way out of the warm water and took a place next to her on the bench and we spent the next several minutes having a very warm conversation. At one point she popped up and trotted over and wanted to go get another one of her journals she wanted to show me something from. By then someone else had come into the bath as well. I hadnt noticed him till he had one of the other girls with him and they were in the pool about 5 feet in front of me and he was starting to force himself on her. I remember yelling at him to grab his attention and both girls were just trying to keep their eyes down and endure the situation. After he didnt let up I hopped in the water and since both his hands were busy with the girl, while he was trying to tell me to go fuck off I got a free shot in with an overhand right elbow to his face which knocked his head back and he wound up letting the girl go. By the time I had turned around and was back outta the water waiting for my girl to come back the jerk and the other girl had faded away. After that my girl and I had started to gather up our things and walked out of the bath into a beautiful summer day outside. We were leaving through a landscaped area that had a small clear stream that was covered by a plain wood bridge. As we were crossing the bridge 4 WWII nazi-ish soldiers appeared to block our path. One of them grabbed her like they were going to be taking her away. Although I know they were talking and goading me none of what they exactly said was clear. With that I started swinging and knocked the first one square in the face and pushed him outta the way, and he pulled my girl with him into the water and with that the other 3 charged. They started swinging for me and just evaded each of the swings till I saw and opening and either punched or elbowed the remaining troops till they were scattered and grabbing my girl I tried to pull her across the bridge with me.
From there though I snapped into the modern world in front of a little shop made out of an old house, late at night on a main city street, alone. I heard a narators voice explaining to me that the world I had been in didnt run on time the same way the real world does and days and weeks could pass in her world in a few minutes of time here. I was filled with a great sadness that I wouldnt be able to return to see her and visit the baths again and I just turned down the street and resolutely walked away on my return trip home.

The dream was amazing, not just for the clarity of it and how much I became attached to my girl, but because it had such a clear begining, middle, and end. When I woke up I felt a real loss for the world I was in.
