Sweet Danes

I need to go the local Embassy of Denmark. It’s located exactly where my town’s courthouse is, in fact it’s the same building, but in the dream it’s surrounded by green, lush plants. A Danish couple lives inside, husband and wife, both around sixty years old. I’m greeted by the husband, he’s wearing glasses and has big gray hair, a beard and mustache. The place from inside looks more like a beautiful greenhouse, sunny and filled with potted palm plants.

The man asks why I’m there; I explain my Gran has run over his wife with a car, but she wants to come clean and apologize. He’s very happy to hear that, wants to know how old Gran is. I say she’s 78*.


The wife comes over, she also has a gray bob and round glasses, looks quite friendly and lovely. She explains she broke her leg in the car crash but’s she’s all better now, and really relieved to learn it was an old sweet lady’s fault. She couldn’t have forgiven anyone else, especially a drunken youth who’d hit and run.


*note: IRL my grandma is 86 and cannot drive.
