I am in my house, which is not my real house but in my dream it feels like my house. It is very big, and old. I notice imperfections and am disturbed by them. For example, the molding on the kitchen wall is warped, and I wish it could be straight and tidy and look nice. I want to paint it but feel dismayed that this won't help that much, because underneath the paint the wall is still warped.

I am in a room that I am painting because I want to renovate it and make it look beautiful. I am painting each wall a different color. The wall I am working on is tan colored, the color of flesh. But I can't get the paint to go on right. It won't stick or something. When I use my brush, instead of tan paint, bright red comes out (the color of blood) and I realize I have dipped my brush into the wrong color. I want to paint over the red with the tan, but the tan paint will take so many coats to cover it that I feel frustrated. I also wonder why in the world I have chosen to use a different color on each wall. The colors don't even seem to go well together.
