I feel asleep last night while reading my music theory book ata round 9:00 so I got all of my sleep in finally. The dream I had was odd and has been the setting of another dream in the past, one that I sort of liked. The place was Zachary's house but it wasn't at the same time. The front was the same, the kitchen, Zach's room, parents room and basement but the room where they make the molds was very large and against the wall they had this old pipe organ. In every room of the house they had some sort of a keyboard instrument, usually just an octave or two in size. Then their backyard was a large ranch sort of thing where Zach's father set up his workshops and there was a grand piano out there. It was an old italian ranch like setting and the instruments were there when they got the house, most of them in need of repairs. I asked if they would want me to take any of them off of their hands and Mrs. White said "No, I think that even with all of his complaints Bruce is getting used to having them around. I noticed then that all of their rooms were about twice the size as in Zach's real house.
Oh yeah, Adree was at Zach's house too, as well as Nathan. We were exploring the huge cave with the molds and the pipe organ.
I was staying with Zachary for some reason when his family was in town for some holiday, thanksgiving I think. After we ate I played Bach's toccata and fugue BWV 565 (I think that is the name) on the organ for them, even though I was still taking begining lessons from Tom. When I was leaving in the morning the van was gone, one of his family members accidently drove home with it thinking it was their's so I walked home, but to Buckingham instead of 12th street. Some gold cadillac stopped in front of me and out came the old lady that stopped me about a month ago asking me about sidewalk codes. She was complaining about how I haven't found a place to live yet and told me I could stay at their place and sleep in the guess room and could practice on their brand new concert grand from Steinway. In the dream we were old time friends, so it was not like she was some sort of a stranger. The condition was that I would have to go to church with her and her husband. So we went to church, everyone was wearing medieval clothing and Martin Luther was there, but it was the guy from the movie Luther, and everyone was looking at us strangely. It was like everyone in the dream knew who I was. Maybe it was because I could play all of the difficult pieces but was still taking lessons because I couldn't play what I read... kind of like how I was put in Special Ed. Language Arts because I couldn't read outloud.
We went back to the old lady's house and I couldn't figure out what to tell my parents because I was still living with them but I would rather stay with the old lady since she was nicer and had a concert grand. My solution was just not to tell them and maybe tell the old lady I was going to spend the night at friends on the weekends and just stay with my parents then.
I think maybe in the dream they were suppose to be my grandparents but the ideal versions, not the greedy versions that actually exist who would rather have a family member live in the streets than to let them have a place to stay.
Worst part about the day so far? MY PIANO TEACHER CANCELLED MY LESSON DUE TO HER KIDS BEING SICK! Why did I pick up the phone? WHY?!?! I'll probably be a piano teacher one day... nothing else really to do I guess.
