“Dream Momma, I’ve been thinking about New Year’s Eve and what I’m going to do. I live in the Hyde Park area of Tampa. It seems dead around here. Last night I dreamed I was at a restaurant with the lights out. When I entered the lights go on and a maitre de sits me at a preferred, elevated table. I eat alone yet am joined occasionally by business associates who sit with me but don’t stay. Other people come and go. I am the first one in and the first one out of the restaurant. Know from reading you that there may be a connection between my thinking and the dream. Can you help a guy out?” (sic)
I certainly can. You are a rich (sitting at preferred, elevated table) workaholic (business associates sit but don’t stay) and painfully lonely (people come and go around you but no one besides business people sit with you). The fact that you are in a restaurant that lights up when you enter tells me you’re a rainmaker.
