Anyone good with dream analysis?

Raq, my 2 cent analysis is that its an anxiety dream (those like to recur) that has you powerless and in the wrong place (mine tends to be a french test but I'm in my thirties and why the hell am I in High School). So, what is making you anxious?

At first I thought "In the dream she's unable to get away from her family of origin physically so she wants to get away from something they do or something she does because of them in her life" and it might well have something to do with that...

But then I remembered the state department kerfuffle and the changing of the status of hardship posts in the different countries and how in Iraq and Afganistan you can't bring your family. See? Powerless and in the wrong place in regards to your family (only its the one you built).

I don't see how you can make that concern go away just yet, but maybe you can somehow "confront" the dream by acknowledging what its really about and it will stop.

Polter, its a pain to dole out cash when you hardly have any... but didn't you get these gifts over the years? If so, it likely wasn't always easy for the people who paid you. Try and embrace the "I'm a grown up now" aspect of this -- rather than focus on the always fun the 'how the fuck am I going to DO this?!?!?!" part of being the grown up.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BILLY TEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aimee - a certain San Franciscan will mock you for your Starbucks dependency - so be prepared. But she will also introduce you to slamming North Beach coffee.

That's the thing - I have no Starbucks dependency! I would rather get coffee bevrages from a little coffee place. Today, I have no money and a Starbucks gift card and I wanted coffee. And I was thwarted in my plans!!

Can't wait for slammin' North Beach coffee.

I mock with love, at least. And the Starbucks green tea foofy thingy is tasty. But Italian coffee is the bomb-diggety.

{{meara}} Your night doesn't sound fun at all. Sorry, sweetie.

Happy return to work, JZ. Be careful.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILLYTEA!!!!!

Speaking of mocking with love, I think Jilli locked Pete in a wardrobe. Haven't seen him in awhile.

Or he's eating his paint in an effort to extend a deadline of sorts.

Trudy, that's what a meatspace friend said also. I have the high school test dream occasionally too, and the teeth-falling-out dream, but this one seems like it's nightly, and last night it was ALL night.

Happy Birthday billytea! You got a good present.

All night is brutal.

And you certainly don't SEEM to be "not dealing with it" -- you've talked about it here.

IS there something upsetting from your childhood that is being poked at by the current hardhship posting thing?

People are stupid.

That is my mantra of the day.

Got to the hospital this morning for my icky girly appointment, and they told me I had no appointment. Now, I didn't screw this up. I wrote it down as I was talking to the woman, then immediately called J to see if she'd be able to take me. We BOTH had it on our calendar.

But, nope. Not in the schedule. So, the only time they can get me in while still in this monthly cycle is on a Tuesday, which is a class day. So, that's no go. So, I have to wait and try again next month.

I'm so pissed off that I could spit. But, J and I made the best of it and went to a diner for bad-for-you breakfast.

Grrrrrrr... I hope my whole day isn't like this.

Just talked to mom on the phone. I'll be seeing her later this afternoon. She sounded good, though. Definitely more energy than she had last night, which makes perfect sense. She had physical therapy this morning, and she stood up! GO MOM!

{{vw}} People are stupid, but Aimee can smite them, and AmyLiz and I can go all evil on their respective asses.

Happy Birthday, BT!
