dream fragment

The family are playing monopoly on the rug in my Grandma's living room. I join the game, but my auntie wants me to go shopping with her, so I oblige. I have a severe water infection, so I keep wetting myself in her car. When we get to the shopping centre and begin shopping, I decide I should buy a gingerbread man for each of my family members. However, I later remember that my sister is allergic to gingerbread, so I buy her one made from wool.

Then, my sister turns up outside the shop we are in. She is very displeased with the wool gingerbread man, stating that I should have known she already made one as part of her art project. Regardless, we look at jumpers together, and find that we like the same one, but both come away without it.

Then the dream changes, and my auntie and I are driving up a scenic lane towards a small church, but I am not sure whether we're supposed to be attending a wedding, christening or funeral. Outside, after the nondescript service, I meet Robert Hardy beside a dark pool of water, and we discuss who my partner is, and what his job used to be.

My partner and his best friend are sitting by the fire, around a large, wooden dining table discussing potential solutions for illness triggers. They are working with flow charts and all sorts of other complicated diagrams.

I browse a jewellery store for engagement rings for a while. Then I go down an extremely large step on to the cobbled streets of York. I am wearing a very big, sparkly diamond ring, which I keep stopping to admire as I walk around. This is very uncharacteristic of me, because I hate wearing showy jewellery, and especially the idea of flaunting my engagement ring.

Dad is sitting in my living room examining his phone bill. Mum rings me and informs me that he might need me to help him find a new contract because his current one is becoming too expensive to run.
