Dreams and Ancestry
Last night, I had another dream i was in a big house that is a variation of my grandparents' house(s). I was showing some friends around and giving them a house tour. My family was not at the house, but I had a key, so I let us in. As I was giving them a tour, I saw one of the rooms that rarely appears in my dreams. I immediately recognized it and told my friends, "I almost forgot about this room. It's rarely here - I have to go in!" So I left my friends and went into the room... I knew immediately that I had to look in the credenza for something. I never found what I specifically needed to find, that I know, but I found old coins and dollar bills, jewelry, a piece of native american art, a collection of fancy chop sticks, some figurines, and then there were some bins that stored things like vinyl records and books that I didn't get to explore. Also, a couple of old family photo albums that I didn't get to look through. I remember this overwhelming feeling that there was something here that I was meant to find, alas, I never did because I heard my family coming back down the driveway talking. So I put everything back and went to welcome them all home.
