A night of strange dreams.
February 29, 2008
My parents recently redid the bathroom in their house. It’s a very small pastel yellow tiled 1960′s bathroom. They have had a light floral print wallpaper with a white background on the walls for the past 10 years or so. For some reason, my mother got it in her mind that she wanted to redo the bathroom. (most likely because I just totally renovated my half bathroom) So they put up this dark mauve, almost maroonish wallpaper. To me, it looks like dried blood has been smeared all over the walls. I don’t like it at all. To the point where the first few times I slept over their house after this redecorating, I had nightmares where people were trying to kill me. I never previously had any nightmares when I sleep there. I directly attributed it to the wallpaper.
Last night, just as I was falling asleep, I had this dream/vision of their bathroom and it looked beautiful. Instead of that horrible dark red wallpaper, the walls were painted robin’s egg blue. The color went so nicely with the pastel yellow tile and my mom’s lavender towels. The room really looked nice. Nicer than I had ever seen that bathroom in all of the years that they’ve lived in that house. I made a note of it so that I would remember to tell my mom then I fell into a deep sleep.
The next thing I know, I’m having this dream about my wedding reception. In my entire 30+ year existence, I have never had a dream about getting married – neither asleep nor awake! I have never had daydreams about a wedding, it has never been a fantasy of mine, I hate the whole process of a church wedding. Ick! But for some reason, last night, in this dream, I was sitting at my wedding reception. There were alot of people there that I didn’t know, and some people that I did. I remember thinking that half of the tables and chairs were empty and wondering where people were. Then for some reason, I had to go out and leave, but then I was driving back, rushing the whole way. When I got back, I saw my parents and my grandmother sitting there so I went over to talk to them. I don’t remember who the groom was in that dream. I just remember that it was a party for my wedding. I was not at a party or reception for someone else. It was mine.
A short while later, I was having another dream. I don’t remember much of the specifics about this one, except that it involved a friend of mine who I have known for a really long time and who I currently do not have an intimate relationship with. In real life he is pretty much broke. Anyway, in the dream, I guess I had been telling him that I wanted to marry him, and he was trying to accommodate my request. He said to me “I have some money now, so if you want to do this…” and that’s when my clock radio went off! It was playing Led Zeppelin’s “Thank You”.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.
Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
My love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
Together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
An inspiration is what you are to me, inspiration, look… see.
And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness….I’m glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
When mountains crumble to the sea, there will still be you and me.
I laid in bed listening and thinking about how great a song it was and how good a band Led Zeppelin is. After about 15 minutes of lounging around, I grabbed the phone off of my night table and called my Mom to tell her about my dream about her bathroom being robin’s egg blue to which she replied “that’s nice, but I’m not changing the color of our bathroom. We just put the paper up, we’re not taking it down. Plus, I don’t want to spend the money on redoing it again when we just redid it. And we like it this way. We like the color. yada yada yada” Whatever…
Then she says “I had a nice dream myself last night. I had a visit from your aunt. Your aunt was alive and she had a baby with her. It was so nice…(sigh) Of course, your uncle was still passed, but your aunt was here with a new baby girl.” I thought that was really weird. Especially considering I had those bizarre wedding dreams. Was my aunt trying to tell my mom that a granddaughter would be on the way? My mom would have never told me about the dream if I hadn’t called her to tell her about my dream about her bathroom. It was strange.
Then it got a little stranger. I got up, showered, dressed, and was in the kitchen making breakfast when my phone rang. I figured it was my sister or mom as they were the only people who called me that early. Instead, it was the male friend who was in the second marriage dream last night, the one saying he now had some money. He was calling to ask me a computer question that he had been thinking about all morning but he wanted to wait until he was sure I was awake.
Weird…
