I had an interesting dream last night, a dream with several sections.  They didn't all really fit together.

1. I was walking on a trail not far from home.  There was a stream alongside the path, and someone pointed out fish, though the stream wasn't very deep.  I looked and there were really large fish.  I was excited, and wanted to get a rod or something to catch some.  Now, I'm not the biggest fisherman. As an adult, I have only done it on backpacking trips to provide variety on a trek.  This part of the dream seems kind of prophetic, like there will be abundance.  I could use it.
2. I was sitting in the living room and looking at the old second couch my family had.  It sure was ugly, I have no idea where we got it.  Nubby green wool fabric.  But the couch was sturdy and comfortable, with big arms like I like.  And full of change from my stepfather's pockets. I don't know why a piece of furniture I haven't seen for 35 years popped up.
3. I was with my stepfather and he was laying into me for something ridiculous.  Growing up there was a high level of verbal abuse, I remember my parents lovingly but they just couldn't control themselves.  Thing about this tirade was that it was kind of ridiculous. It was the tone of John's harangue, but not the content. It's as if it was badly written.  

I woke up and the images took awhile to return to my conscious mind.  The fish were the most vivid part.  The interesting thing about John being in the dream was that there was something unrealistic about it, when I woke my first thought was, "That's not what he would have said".  I'm not sure if that was subject matter or the way he said it.
