A Dream
3.23.06

I am in college and rooming with Karen Ward and the young scientist from the television show, “Bones.” We have a huge loft with a big enclosed porch. The porch is filled with tons of left-behind furniture – a set of huge metal filing cabinets from some office, a futon, a sofa, red Christmas lights, a sewing machine, and crystal cut-glass candy dish which are small and fussy.

A bunch of foreign exchange students come to our door. They are doing mandatory volunteer work and have come to our place to move most of the stuff out. We didn’t know they were coming and we’re caught off-guard, rushing around to put sticky notes saying “KEEP” on some of the stuff before we dash off and register for classes.

I dream about being in school a lot – high school, college, etc. Usually they are anxiety dreams about being surprised by an exam, or forgetting to register, or being lost on a campus I should have been familiar with. This dream was different. It was the first one in which I felt camaraderie. True, I was still unsure of my schedule, late for class, etc. But this time I was with friends, with roommates (although I did not know them well.) Also in this dream, I had my favorite super power – being psychic, specifically in regards to predicting the future.

I’m never sure what these things mean. Usually, I figure them out retrospectively –long after the thing my dreams were trying to tell me about has already come to pass. ‘Though this dream is nearly six months old, I’m still chewing on it.

Hmmmm…..
