Dream
I ran into this couple at the airport and I think the woman was the narrator of the audiobook I was listening to in real life. She was brown-skinned and looked exotic, like Mediterranean or Middle Eastern. Her husband was white.
Later they came to my sister Emily’s house and had three children with them. I went to sleep on the downstairs couch where I’ve been sleeping for the summer in real life, but the kids got up really early and were very loud upstairs, and sometimes they were coming downstairs to play. I had to go into Tom’s room to try to get some sleep.
When I peeked back out into the main downstairs area the kids were playing, the adults were laying on the couch, one kid was playing the piano, and the couches had been completely rearranged. I think someone brought the couches upstairs to create more hang-out areas for Emily’s family and this family.
I was really irritated by this time because it was 3am or 4am and this entire family was awake and encroaching on our area. At one point all of them came into our private area of the downstairs. Tom was talking to the two adults and they were asking all these questions about our lifestyle and living in the van, traveling, etc. I thought they were very annoying cause it was too early for all of this. The kids were in our room being loud and causing chaos.
One part of the downstairs had these beautiful vintage lamps with lampshades with those long strings hanging down. Beautiful lampshades the kids were playing with and turning off and on.
At one point, my phone wasn’t working and had gotten so hot I had to take it out of its case so it could cool off, and I’d taken my earbuds out but even with my earbuds out I could still hear my audio podcast. I couldn’t turn it off and it was a very disconcerting feeling.
I was also trying to find my clothes so we could leave this chaotic situation but I couldn’t find the right clothes anywhere.
The woman told me her children always woke up at 3 or 4am and she was always exhausted.
Finally we were able to leave the house and we went over to Jill’s house to find peace and quiet. The deck was rotted out on one side and we had to avoid it so we didn’t fall through the deck. However, when we turned back around this pitbull dog had fallen through the rotted part of the deck and was scrambling not to fall on these lower beams. I wondered if Tom would try to save this dog or if he was too afraid of dogs.
Two times during this dream about the family in our basement and bedroom area woke me up and I was surprised it was a dream and I was sleeping on the couch. I was very disoriented because this dream took place in my current living environment.
