FOO Dreams - Sarah
I've been having very weird/disturbing dreams lately. Mostly they involve the FOO (family of origin), but not the "fun" FOO (read the aunt we still talk to), the fucked-up FOO (read the ones who stopped talking to us and that's not entirely a bad thing). Not only do they involve the FOO, they involve bits of pieces of daily events intertwined with stuff about the Hurricane and New Orleans. I wake up sweating and twisted in the covers. In one of them our older sister was here in the condo with her grown-up (chronologically not emotionally) kids and I didn't have enough food to feed everyone. I was trying desperately to cook, but I kept getting interrupted by them, by the telephone (sometimes they were calling me *boggle*), and by chores I needed to do like laundry and cleaning up the yard in New Orleans. I woke up as I was realizing that there was no way I could possibly have enough food ready in time (though what the time constraint was I have no idea). Just before I woke up, my sister told me that I'd never make anything of myself if I couldn't even cook dinner.
I could spend hours psychoanalyzing all this, but life's short. I just want to have normal dreams. If they're distressing, I don't care, just as long as they don't involve the FOO. I wouldn't mind a dream about falling, or showing up naked, or having to take a test I haven't studied for. I wouldn't even mind a Hurricane dream just as long as they aren't involved.
There. I've talked about the dreams they will now go away.
