I finally did get to sleep the other night only to wake up from the werdiest dream. I was in what looked like the living room of my house and there were small tots on the floor playing with toys. I picked up what looked like a large cell phone and on the screen was a neon sign that said "Red Dragon". I pushed a button and it teleported me to the parking lot of the Red Dragon which turned out to be a resturant on the Lake. Mike, Matt, Holly and Kelly were getting out of the car and I was telling them, "Oh my God, I just teleported here!" They laughed at me and we went inside.
The place was packed and waiters were running around getting orders. I lost Mike and company and I turned around and saw this guy with long strawberry hair, a little curled at the bottom and slick at the top, wearing sunglasses who turned out to be my brother, Stephen. My brother no where near dresses in suits, dons dark sunglasses, nor wears his hair long. But he looked good! I asked him what he was doing there and he said, "Oh c'mom Cathie, the fights are tonight". Hmmms, what fights I thought and he just disappeared too.
I soon found myself searching in this resturant which was huge and ended up in what appeared to be a small tea room with a water fall and plants. It was quite relaxing so I sat and had a cup of tea but still searching the crowds I could see outside the door for people.
After tea, I got up and started running as fast as I could through the resturant, bumping into people and pushing them to get out of my way and ran outside a back door. I turned the corner and there was this entire glass windowed apartment. I guess I thought I belonged there and went inside. My furniture was there but so was about 9 other people, some of whom I know, some I didn't. The tots were on the floor which was covered with Froot Loops and toys. I started pushing all the toys and cereal in a pile with my foot and telling all the little ones they had to clean this up when Mike came behind saying, "Isn't this a great apartment, come on look at the rest of it". While wandering through, there were like 5 bedrooms with scattered furniture and clothes (imagine people moving in) with a couple of women I didn't recognize and a man walking around. The back had a beautiful view of Lake Ponchartrain inclusive of a pier and dock. Mike was rambling about this is my room, and this is Matt and Kelly's room, and Jacob's room, and all the while I keep thinking to myself what am I doing here and what are my belongings doing here I have a home and I don't want to live with all these people, not to mention who are these people! Mike started telling me that Holly's aunt purchased this apartment because she is moving into a large house, which he showed me a picture on a computer, and that she paid the deposit and we were all staying there rent free.
At some point I think I became overwhelmed in the dream and I woke up. But the dream was very vivid and still is in my mind. I haven't had that vivid of a dream in an extremely long time and believe it was indictive of my frame of mind after eating too much chocolate and being a little depressed. Not to mention, I dream in color which makes the dream so much clearer. I remember every detail as if I were watching a movie.
Maybe I should eat more chocolate before bed. It was rather nice to know I'm not dead sleeping at night and some part of my brain is functioned even if its appears rather abnormal!
Have a Happy Memorial Day and to my soliders, I love you all!
