Just before I woke up this morning, I was bombarded with all sorts of dream images. The entire mood of these dreams was very upbeat and happy, filled with people that I was delighted to meet. It's difficult to say whether this was an evacuation or a party - the dream had elements of both, but my first remembered image was of me being in a different apartment, filled with mostly women, and a few young boys.
As I walk about, talking with this woman or that, I remember having dreamed of a red and white dress. I mention it to someone. There is a young boy lounging on the couch, and he is telling me about his parents and other relatives. It suddenly occurs to me he's talking about a branch from my family tree, and I remark how much like my grandson he looks.
Curiosity gets the better of me, and I go out, exploring the building. In the hallway I meet a lady who said she used to live here before it went all corporate. We are standing by a vending machine that she's trying to get something out of, but nothing works. She pulls her thin sweater tighter about her, saying that it did change and not for the better, that she's feeling very cold in the hallway and will leave as soon as she can.
I go back into the apartment and step into two women having a rather heated discussion as to how to best create a small office in this space. I like the idea that one has, which seems to incorporate all necessary office elements into a very efficient and cozy space, complete with a full-size filing cabinet (for some reason this was very important to me, this filing cabinet), and on my say-so, the matter is settled. Another woman keeps saying that she has a large pot that needs to be seen by someone - she looks intently at another young lady as she says this, making it obvious who she means.
This young lady finally throws up her hands and says, "Okay - let's see this large pot you have for me!" She is beautiful, with flashing dark eyes and long wavy black hair. She appears to be in her late teens or early 20's. I feel that the other older woman is her aunt and wants to give her a family heirloom. Delighted, the "aunt" goes into another room, and comes back carrying a beautiful red and white sequenced retro-style dress. The instant I see it, I hug the "niece" and tell her I just dreamed of this dress!! Then the aunt disappears again and comes back with a huge box which she sets on the table.
We all crowd around the table as she unwraps the box. At first I see not a pot, but a beautiful deep blue glass pitcher, but it's soon obvious this is only a part of it. By the time it's all unwrapped, this pitcher has become a part of a huge glass display with all sorts of doodads and bangles, icicles and tear-drops extending it into an unbelievable display. Without a doubt I even see a colourful merry-go-round in there!
The "niece" leans close to me and whispers, "It's a monstrosity!", echoing my own assessment of this. Nevertheless, she shows true gratitude to her aunt for this heirloom gift.
