Ex

Last night I dreamt I was in a hotel room with my oldest daughter (who was a small child in this dream) and my ex-husband.  I knew he was going to beat me and I was doing my best to not upset him while I was secretly dialing 9-1-1.  He finally left the room and I got the attention of some police officers to come help.  They came into the room and didn't see anything amiss, but they, too, felt the undercurrent of impending violence.  Through the window I could see the sun shining and the wide open parking lot lined with leafy deciduous trees.  Ex-husband returned to the room and was attempting to charm the police into believing that all was as it should be and that there was nothing wrong, all the while looking at me with murderous intent.  I knew if I didn't take my daughter and leave with the police that he would kill us both, but I wasn't sure he'd let us out of the room.
When we finally did manage to escape, I was covered in cuts and bruises ... but I was free.

Naked in the window

Last night I dreamt that I was in my master bedroom in the basement of our old house.  I was naked.  I noticed that the blinds on the window were open and wondered if anybody would see me.  I walked to the window and stood there watching as a former friend left the house across the street.  She got into a little red wagon and sat there very regally with her nose high in the air as her two small daughters pulled her down the street.  Nobody saw that I was standing naked in front of the window.  I turned around to mention this to my husband.  He was asleep in the bed behind me and didn't notice what was happening.  I went to wake him, but there were two of him in the bed and I didn't know which one to wake.  When I put my coat on over my naked body, I noticed they weren't really him at all, but my oldest daughter.

Terry Jones

Last night I dreamt I was doing a play with Terry Jones (of Monty Python), only his name was Terry Porritt in the dream.  Two consecutive nights, I left the stage halfway through the play.  The second night, I was sitting in the audience and Terry, who was sitting right in front of me as well as performing on stage, turned around and took my hand in his and said, "It's fine that you've had your little breakdown, but after leaving the stage two nights in a row, don't ever expect to work in this theater again."  I smiled and explained that I had no intention of ever returning to theater so it was okay.  He smiled, patted my hand, and said, "Very well then."  Then I watched as a very large, very hairy, very bad actor resumed the role I was supposed to be playing.  After the show, we went to the cast party.  Everybody was presented with a poster hand drawn on butcher paper and signed by the cast.  Terry had signed mine with just his name but the rest of the cast had written angry, hateful curses to me.  I took the poster, said goodbye and left without looking back.

Flesh Eating Zombies

Last night I dreamt of flesh eating zombies invading my city.  My sister was the main zombie and was spearheading a zombie attack aimed at devouring my oldest.

Bori

Last night I dreamt I was a bori (daugher-in-law) in a Romani family and everybody had gone away, leaving me with all the responsibilities and chores.  I went upstairs in the house to listen to music and looked out the window to see a large empty valley.  I stood watching the valley and folding the laundry for a very long time as I realized there was no help coming and that I must do all this on my own.

Rajeev and the doors

Last night I dreamt I was at a reunion of some sort at a mountain resort with a swimming pool.  I was late arriving.  I met the brother of an old high school friend there.  I explained to him that I had been trying to make a door.  He took me inside the building where he kept a large frame that he used for making doors, then showed me how to use it.  His dad made doors, he explained.  We sat down on what was either a bunch of floor pillows or a large platform bed, with our backs against the wall behind us and our legs stretched out in front.  There we talked about Buddhism and Hinduism.  After chatting for quite awhile, we got up and walked over to the door frame to check on the progress of my door, and talked about television shows we had seen about Buddhism and Hinduism.  Before saying goodbye, he presented me with a gift for my son - a hose attachment that you filled with dish soap that became a power sprayer for washing the car.

Acorns

Last night I dreamt of walking through a mountain forest.  As I walked along, I noticed the path I was on was covered with acorns.  I gathered as many of these acorns as I could into my arms, stuffing them into my pockets and purse, as well, before continuing on my way.
