Dream Interpretation

I haven't had much time to write about dreams lately, so I have only a fragment here. I clearly saw my mother in the dream, but I don't think she had any message for me. In the dream we were visiting my aunt and uncle, who lived in an old farmhouse out in the country. (For the record, my aunt and uncle do not live in an old farmhouse out in the country, nor have they ever lived in such a dwelling.) There was a barn on the property, and my uncle, my dad, and I went into the barn, and there we discovered a strange man and woman in a bathtub together. In the barn! 

That, unfortunately, is all I remember.

Hmmm, this may seem like a random question, but have you witnessed any baptisms lately?

No, seems like a pertinent question, but the answer is no.

Here's a funny snippet of one from last night: I was shopping at an outdoor sidewalk sale, looking for a new Rubbermaid dish drainer mat! 

I think I know where that one came from. A few days ago I was talking with a friend about the Target that's supposed to open next month just a short walk from my place. Last Saturday, when I was on my way back from farmers' market, I noticed they already had the logo on the new building. I remember saying to my friend that while it's been a long time since I've been in a Target, I was hoping this one might make up for the loss of our Center City K-Mart, because since the K-Mart closed, there has been no place in Center City to shop for things that one might shop for at a K-Mart--like Rubbermaid kitchen things!  I think that conversation was still in my memory.

My friend R. was just telling me yesterday about the word hypnopompic. It means nonsense thoughts upon waking. There's also a word for nonsense thoughts upon going to sleep. I thought it was just me!!

I seem to have a dream that repeats from time to time.  I'm back in college, but at my current age.

I keep getting my class schedule, and notice that the classes  have already been underway for a month or so. 

I have no intentions on going back to school, so I have no idea why this dream recurs.

I used to have a similar dream quite often where I was late to or unprepared for my classes. I feel sorry for freshmen at this time of year. It's so confusing and expensive and you hardly ever get to take the classes you want. It can cause a lifelong trauma, as you illustrate, Chuck!

I always wake up from these dreams, and have to remind myself that I'm NOT  a student anymore.  lol
