No Place to be Alone

I dreamed that I moved into a new condo. I was coming home to the new condo after a very long tiring day and as I walked up the stairs to my new place i kept seeing signs on walls. The signs identified each cluster of condos by a theme. For example there was a group of ritzy condos.

My group was artistic and we had white flower petals scattered on the carpeted stairs leading up to the shared kitchen. In this condo you had a bedroom and then all the rest of the space, including showers, kitchen, dining rooms, were shared spaces.

I walked into the kitchen and it was crowded. There were many people I didn't know and they all seemed to want to talk to me, but I just wanted to be alone. I walked through and went towards my room. There was a woman coming out of the door. It was Anna and she was being stealthy and turning the key.

I confronted her, "Anna you can not go into my room unless invited." She was really rude about that and acted as if that was my problem then she huffed off.

I went in and then my sister came in after me. I told her to stop leaving the key in the lock since it allowed people to come in when we are gone. She ignored me, as usual. And then some of her friends came and they started to chat and move around.

I got into my bed and pulled the covers over my head. But couldn't sleep with all the people talking so I got up. I wanted to wash my hands but when I went to the sink in the room it was clogged with ground beef and water. I thought, "Yuck!" I started cleaning it out and began to get a little mad.

I noticed that our room's front wall was folded back and open. I wandered out and saw people sitting at little cafe tables all over the place. One person at each eating their dinner. I went back into my room and found a large round table setup in there with 5 children seated waiting for their supper.

I'm outraged, "what are you doing in my room! Get out! Get out!" The waiter came and helped the children move and told me that if I didn't want people to dine in my room I had to press the button at the front of the room that lights up a red light reading something like no vacancy.

I'm crying now and I say, "I don't think I can live with all this, it's not what I thought." And the waiter broke my heart by saying, "yes, it's better you realize you don't fit in at once so you can leave."

Two Dreams and a Baby

Image
The dream was that there was a woman with six children and a man with six children. The woman's children and the man's children were all paired up, in each family the children had formed firm friendships with one other child. Then the two families combined and it was chaos. The children's bonds were broken and they began forming bonds with just anybody, even outsiders.   The family was completely torn asunder when three of the girls left the family and joined a college. From the college they graduated, but they didn't want to see their families at all. They were marching in a procession down a sidewalk and up a hill. When their family came close they broke and fled like crows scattering across the hillside, in flight.

Walking on a Cloudy Day Dream

Image
In my dream, I went out walking one morning. I wasn't really fully prepared, I had on rubber flip flops, but my real shoes were in my purse. I had the newspaper because I had been reading it and there were a few very interesting events going on in the big city.   One was a tiny sword show which included a silver cutlass.

And one was train ride to under the mountain, though that seemed a little dodgy since you know what lives under the mountain. I have nearly gone on that very ride but stepped off at the last minute.

Cracked Ipad, 280Z, and Brewery Parties

Image
I n my dream we moved back into a party house that I used to go to in Riverside many years ago (though not really). The house was like 4 stories tall  and very old and partially dilapidated. I remembered from the past (dreams and life) that the upper stories were rooms and rooms of dusty lives left right up to the moment they were abandoned. You could walk through them like a museum spying on other peoples lives. But the floors and stairs were old and unstable, it was very dangerous to walk those hallways but so interesting that you had to walk them. The ground floor was the one we lived on the most. The front half was a huge living room/dining room. It was kind of like a furniture store with couches, tables, and chairs scattered everywhere. There were dining tables and chairs lined up so that at least 50 people could all eat at once. We were very excited to be back there and having a chance to live where so many wonderful times were had. The plot was that I fell a...
