Pub
At a pub, but not really, more like big room with large round table. Drinking weird blue cocktail, people ask what it is, but i don't know. Gate crashed by townies. My sister, Chris, her fiance, Maria, Richard (YSC) and Dan (YSC). End up sat next to Dan, want to move.
There is a weird McDonalds freebie in centre of table. Cuboid with a square base of side length six inches, and a height of about one foot. Weird pastel coloured translucent tiles moving around in a fountain pattern form its surfaces, no visible moving parts.
Apart from dream analysis i can also supply some basic information on cocktails -- comes free with the package:
the blue drink was curacao. Try mixing it with some OJ (orange juice) in your next dream, makes a very nice spectrum of colours up your glass (dark blue at the bottom, lightening to green, then orange, then yellowish at the top).
Definitely better than the 'salt' you 'scrapped' above.
ANYWAY, your confusion regarding the McDonald's freebie is more than justified--the fewest people CAN actually make sense out of the Happy Meal Toys. The fact that it's bigger and has >pastel translucent< tiles moving around screams out what many of us have often thought to ourselves:
why can't these weird plastic things be a smidge more stylish (it's your feminine side showing face again).
Mentally connect: stylishness of toy, stylishness of cocktail for instance (you coulda ordered a beer...but you didn't...)
