More dreams this past week. 2 days in particular really stood out. This is what I copied in my journal from a few days ago:
- Houses — was with my sister and kept returning to “my house” for some reason. Lots of houses around. Measurements being made by real estate agents. Houses had popped up everywhere. Zelda got out one time while I was walking around to look at houses with my sister. She dutifully followed me back home when I called to her.
- Mom and Dad were over. Dad had just gotten back from a trip? They were on the phone. Talking with each other but at the same house. Dad became annoyed and told Mom to hang up.I had an answering machine. It had picked up 4 SPAM messages. I wondered why I even kept the home number. Clearly I didn’t need it. Or was it connected to my cell?
- Dad was trying to show me that authors borrow stuff from other stories, that Dr. Seuss had taken his book from someone else’s ideas, which explained why the cover made references to parts of the book that weren’t even there anymore. I felt like the world had opened up to me.
And then my memory of last night’s dreams:
I was at the dining table of my parents’ house, I’m pretty sure, and I was sitting around the table with some friends to celebrate something (birthday?), and I had brought a card, but I had brought the wrong card accidentally. It was a Valentine to me from a woman I knew. The Valentine seemed odd to me, and I was embarrassed and couldn’t believe that I had brought it to this gathering and almost given it to the birthday girl.
I was looking for a new house, and the one we were considering looked rather small. A small but adequate sized kitchen and dining room, but that was about it. But then I looked more closely and saw that there was another room behind the kitchen, half-obstructed and hidden from view level. So, we ducked down and continued on to a bedroom (a master bedroom). The house seemed a little more appealing with the bedroom, and then I noticed another room hidden behind that room. We continued on and found a guest bedroom (better and better!) Beyond that we found a living room. At some point I remember commenting to my dad (who was suddenly in the picture) that one of the beds had a large built-in urinal to the side of it, which could be convenient for needing to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Overall, the house seemed a little more complete and doable, though a bit cramped and oddly constructed.
I was contemplating returning to my old job. The position had opened, and I was debating whether to apply for it.
