I had the strangest dream last night that left me feelin' a little panicky. Apparently I had not closed on my house yet, but was scheduled to close within a day or two...regardless, it was near the time the house would be mine. And then POOF! All of sudden, because of some clause or fine print or something, the house was whisked out from under me by someone else. Just. Like. That!
I was pretty upset, but I think I was in shock, so it hadn't quite hit me yet. I needed a place to live, fast, so I agreed to buy a house, sight unseen, in Denver (the city, not the burbs) of all places! Yikes! The place was no house at all, but a nightmarish condo/apartment of sorts, with a giant bathroom in 70s decor that was shared by all. Plus a few other random bathrooms that didn't seem to have all the needed components. Like one had a sink, but no toilet. Huh?! My kitchen ended up being a diner, again, shared by all, which I found out during the lunchtime rush. My family was there to help me move in and was shocked by what they saw, but they were trying to be supportive, since apparently this was what I bought. It started to hit me and I started to panic. I was hoping that I could get out of it, like there was some sort of return policy on property.
My sister, being helpful, offered to show me a house a friend of hers was selling...to the tune of $500,000. Um, a little outside of my price range, but we all went to look anyway. The house had a lot of amazing bathrooms. More than I needed. And a normal kitchen. Meanwhile, I was still freaked out about being homeless and having my house sucked out from beneath me.
That's when I woke up. It took me a minute to realize where I was and that it was my house. Not the freakshow condo, but MY actual house. After getting some distance from the dream I started thinking, maybe I'm starting to feel like it's really my home...enough to panic about it being taken away??? And maybe I have a thing about bathrooms.
What do you think? Any interpretations? Have you had any freakish dreams lately?

hmmm... interesting dream. I've had a lot of strange dreams lately. For example, a couple weeks ago I dreamt I was in Pfiffner Park with this very obese women. A low flying plane flew overhead, and a paratrooper jumped out, but there wasn't enough time for the shoot to open, so he landed on his back and there was this "pop". I thought the guy was dead, but he wasn't...he sat up and had a hole in his chest. The obese woman started helping him, but I was appalled that he was even alive and I froze... couldn't help.
Then I had another weird dream the other night about a man who was faking dead. He was ready to be burried in the ground and started moving. So the grave diggers put him on a table in his house and I was looking at him through the window. The dead guy didn't think anyone was watching, so he started to get up with his nasty, skin peeling, necrotic face and was going to walk out the door. I walked in there and yelled, "don't you move!"
