On CBS Sunday Morning there was an episode about how being in isolation is causing people to have strange and weird dreams. I agree because lately it seems that my dreams are more active with suspense and uncertainty. Last night I was in a foreign county, maybe a 3rd World country, poor
and different than the United States. I was visiting a friend (usually my dreams include a friend from Guadalajara, Mexico) and I am staying with her in a very humble hovel. I decide I want to buy my hosts a gift but I only have a certificate for one hundred dollars. I do not know the price for the money exchange. She brings a male friend to figure it out but I do not trust him. I figure I will give my host twenty dollars because that is a lot of money in their country. I go shopping at a large flea market type area and find a huge double mirror. I ask my friend if she thinks her mother would like the mirror and she nods yes, though I see in her eyes that she would rather have the money.
A party with local musicians will begin around eight that evening, but I do not drive at night yet I really want to attend the party. I ask my friend that if I show up at eight if I can spend the night so I don't have to drive in the dark. She agrees but I am uncomfortable sleeping on the floor even though the blankets are very colorful and beautiful and my thought is what if spiders or mice can attack me while I sleep on the floor. Wonder if driving in the dark would have been better than the fear I am feeling. And I wake up.
Maybe the Sunday Morning episode on dreams is true. I tried to draw some of my dreams but they turned out looking cute and more funny than scary! But, I think you get the picture!
