I had to dust my bedroom (the dust on the furniture was horribly thick), and I had to do it in my underwear, and I was only allowed one dust cloth along with a can of Pledge. :laugh:

Two nights ago I dreamed I was seated with my mother at the dining room table in the house where I was raised. My mother was trying to tell me something about someone, but I guess she was trying to be discreet because she wasn't saying what it was or who it was about. ??? That's all I remember.

In many dreams you've told us about, your mother is trying to tell you something. Once, you said you thought she was telling you to take care of your dad. But now I'm starting to think she (actually you, yourself) is trying to tell you something else. The reason, IMO, why "she" doesn't come right out and say it, is because it's something you don't want to hear. You're blocking "her". Maybe you trust one of your other divas to give you the message. Or, you seem to be ready for some waking visioning exercises to uncover the conundrum. Or, hypnosis.

That's plausible. My immediate assumption upon awakening was that my mother, to whom I had not come out before she died, "knew" or "knows," but in the circumspect and Victorian way of my people didn't want to come right out and say it. I can see that such a dream might be provoked by a guilty conscience, but why I should have such a dream at this time escapes me. It crossed my mind that she might have been trying to tell me to come out to my father, but my response to that would be, "Mother, what possible good is there in asking an 87-year-old man to deal with that?"
Trust me to know my dad. He's a simple man. If it were possible that I might marry--or even have a permanent steady "boyfriend"--within what remains of his lifetime, there would be a very good reason for telling him, but since neither event seems likely, I see no reason to tell him. I would feel kind of selfish making him deal with something that I'm sure he'd rather not deal with when there is no purpose.

I see no reason either, unless perhaps he might be secretly fretting about your being single, wondering if you're lonely, or--here's a thought--maybe he wants to tell you that he knows and it's all right, but he doesn't know how to tell you so. But, on the other hand, most parents when they get to that age are so absorbed with their own problems that they barely notice that their children are human beings. Your mom could shed some light on this. . .let's hope she opens up and spills the beans soon!

that could be. I remember thinking I was spilling a big secret, and mom told me she knew I was gay by the time I was 8. :laugh:
