I was in an antique store and was looking at teacups. It was a very upscale place and I felt I didn't belong there. As I looked into a case, the sales clerk asked if he could show me a teacup or take something out for me. I asked for one teacup and saucer. He told me I could go to the table near the window and wait. I took a seat and waited. There was a pot of tea on the table. When he brought the teacup and saucer he set it in front of me and left. I wasn't sure if I was supposed to test drive the teacup by pouring myself a cup of tea. I decided not to. I looked at the bottom of the teacup and it was expensive. The saucer had to be bought separately and it was expensive too. Well, I thought, I can afford the teacup but not the saucer. So, I bought the teacup. The sales clerk looked disappointed or disgusted with me. Guess I didn't buy 'enough' for his liking or commission.

I left the shop and took the subway home, which in real life, I don't do and don't even live in a city. On the subway, I met my grandmother - my dead grandmother. I told her and showed her what I bought. She tsked me and said, go back and buy the saucer. What's a teacup without a saucer. The dream ended.

In real life, that weekend I drove to my mother's house and just happened to go into the garage to get my mom something. In the garage were these beautiful teacups or coffee cups and saucers. I asked my Mom why they were in the garage and she said, they were my GRANDMOTHER'S and she didn't know what to do with them. I asked, Can I have them? So, I got the teacups AND saucers because my grandmother would not have been happy had I only taken the cups!
