Dreams

Today is Sunday and although I'm working at the facility where I am the administrator, I didn't have to go in until 8:30 a.m. so when I woke up at 5:30 a.m. I happily rolled over and went back to sleep.  The result was one of those dreams that is so-o-o frustrating because nothing is ever resolved and it feels impossible to dig ones way out of it. 

I dreamed that I was visiting a family with whom I had spent two summers when I was a jr. and sr. in highschool.  The house was different and huge and my frustration occurred when I couldn't figure out which room was mine.  I went into each room, tried to get dressed only to find each time that the clothes weren't mine and as I was dressing I realized that there was someone else sleeping in the room and I had to get out before they awakened.  One of my granddaughters was even in one of the rooms and she opened her mouth to reveal a whole mouthful of cold cream that I then tried to get out without any success.  When I finally woke up later than I should have, I was exhausted!

Most of the time I don't remember what I dream.  It's the middle of the afternoon now and the feelings of this dream are still very clear.  Aren't our brains interesting!  Part of the family I visited those two summers in highschool is making a visit here in October to visit my mother.  I suppose that knowledge has triggered my subconscience and hence the mixed up dream.

Dreams are fascinating, aren't they? Thanks for sharing that one. Every so often I have a vivid one like that, too, that I remember throughout the day . Amazing how various bits and pieces from our lives get combined in such "creative" ways, in which we can sort of see the logic and connections. Jan in Dkr
