dreaming of blueberry pancakes but why not bacon?

i had a dream last night of having brunch with my mom and sister in italy. we decided on eggs and ham. then, i noticed the restaurant also served blueberry pancakes. my sister agreed to share a short stack of them with me. i know it makes no sense since it's really american breakfast fare, and i would NEVER eat american food abroad, especially in italy, just because i think that ruins the experience of going abroad. globalization really means americanization, and what's the point of traveling abroad only to eat american food? anyway, in the dream, it made sense, in the dream-sense.

later this morning, r and i went out for breakfast. i saw blueberry pancakes on the menu and had to go for it. i got eggs as well but bacon instead of ham. i know i would've chosen bacon had it been on the dream menu. mmm...bacon... maybe i think about it enough in real life that it avoids my dreams.
