Dream Journal, February 15-16, 2005


I remember only a snippet of a dream from last night.  I was at home with my mom , and I was concerned because our dog had disappeared.  I was the only one who seemed worried about it.  Anyway, it was night and I wanted to go for a walk.  My mom didn’t want to but I did the whole, “come on, please,” thing, so she did.  It was dark and we were walking in what resembled a nice neighborhood I've always liked.  My mom was the one leading us & suddenly we were no longer outside, but walking straight through people’s homes.  I was pretty alarmed by this, so I said something to my mom on the order of, “We shouldn’t be doing this,” but she just answered, “You’re the one who wanted to take a walk” in a sort of smug, condescending tone (I’m pretty sure she was smiling when she said it).  I felt very nervous about it but I kept following her.  Finally my worst fears happened—we passed through a living room where a woman was sitting on her couch.  She didn’t seem very surprised to see us—she also had a weird smile on her face.  However, she told us that the front door was locked & we couldn’t go through it—we’d have to go out some other way.  That other way turned out to be a dirty, nasty looking oven.  She opened the oven door and indicated we would have to crawl through it.  I don’t remember what happened after this.

I remember wondering at some point during the dream, “Why does everyone have their doors unlocked so that we can just walk right through?”

The dream makes me feel uneasy.  I don’t quite understand it.
