Dream Journal (excerpt)


The setting of this dream is at my parents’ house. My brother and I were having friends over to the house, as we always do. He was tending to the BBQ, but had to step inside for a minute. He asked is I would mind checking on the ladybugs in a minute to see if they were done. (It didn’t seem at all odd that we were grilling up ladybugs.) I went outside and realized that my brother had been using my ski pole to tend the food with instead of a spatula. The only thing that bothered me about that was that he had left it in the grill with the plastic handle melting.

My parents work in one of the state buildings that, with three others, form a complex in downtown Lansing. I had to drop something off if their building; however in the dream, they didn’t look anything like what they should have in real life. As I was leaving, I decided to say hello to a friend that also worked in the building. As I was walking back into the building, I saw my mom. When she saw me she said, “Hello Andrea!”
