Dream Journal

dreamed on February 23, 2003

I am walking through the large aisles of a concrete warehouse. I open one door and walk into Melissa’s bedroom. Lying on the floor by the waterbed is my friend Abi and her husband. They are under blankets as though they were falling asleep; the light is on in the room.

Abi sits up and tells me how it’s terrible that the warehouse people don’t let them sleep in or stay in the room during the afternoons. She says that people staying in the other rooms are allowed to, just not her.

I step out of the doorway to look down the hallway at the other rooms of which she speaks. I see the door to my parents’ bedroom and feel guilty because that is the room I am staying in. I don’t want Abi to know that I have one of the more favorable rooms.

Stepping back into the room, Melissa is lying where Abi was. She is naked. The blankets are covering her from the waist down, and I can only see her white back because she is in a contorted position.

I am standing really close to her and Abi’s husband and then lie down to talk to Melissa. I bump my foot against something. I look under the blankets and see that I have bumped a sleeping baby - Abi’s baby. I also see a dog sleeping under the blankets.
