Building a house and a strange clock
My dreammaker must have read my formal complaint in my dream journal so here's one long one for y'all
I'm in a house which is in bad repair. Some of us are responsible for re-building it. (All men). I was sleeping there on a mattress on the floor.
Next I was in a large warehouse type of store like B&Q but didn't buy anything. I knew I could get bargains next door so went next door and started looking around. Then i realised that this was part of the same store and I could have got to it through the opening that the fork-lift trucks use for stacking the shelves.
I was now back on the street and seemed to have bought some camping gear, presumably for staying at the ruined house. I was sitting at the corner which was a bit like a crossroads near my home. I could see an old house used as an office for a financial company. i was waiting for someone to come by. Don't know who. I saw an old colleague D go in followed by a woman (not unusual for him) and some others. It was like the house in my dream a few days ago where I was working on contract. My old boss walks by and ignores me, because I was sitting on the path with camping gear like a vagrant I thought (and he's a bmw driver).
I now return to the house. They're about to have a meal and I walk down a narrow hallway, dark and crunchy underfoot with the rubble. I see mattresses on the floor and notice I'd put mine in an alcove so I'm a bit separate from everyone else. The meal is about to start and I sit next on one side, next to the head of the table. I didn't recognise the person at the head but opposite me was my old boss who walked past me earlier. The meal was just a small portion of pasta. The person at the head was showing a model of the finished house.
(scene change)
The model now becomes a clock. It wasn't a clock of much use as the timing was strange, with seconds passing quickly and slowly. There were four characters living in the clock who came out like cuckoos on the hour. One was a ghost (like Caspar) and another was a fat pirate-type person. I don't know if I knew the other two. They lived in the clock and fed off battery power!
Well it's nice to see my male DCs doing something useful. So they've decided to re-build a house. That's better than not being able to defend a bridge and not knowing how to play football. (Recent dreams). They're doing it in a very sterotypical male way, with committee meetings and detailed plans. But that's OK.
My trip to B&Q showed how I can't make my mind up. Rather than being pragmatic and just getting something from the shop I go next door and look instead. IRL I am no pragmatist you see. I think the contents of the shop is like different choices or decisions for me.
What's my old boss doing here? I wish he wasn't. He's a smart guy and very charismatic. Perhaps I need someone like that around (i.e. I need to be like that) if I'm going to get this house built.
Oh, yes. The house. Well, it's a kind of container for me. And it's not in good condition yet has great potential. The dream suggests I need to "rebuild my house" with skills from all different sorts of people. The old boss, the designer etc. Sounds like I need to take a more holistic attitude to myself if I'm going to feel more secure in life. I need to get these male DCs working again. I can be a designer. I can be a boss.
I like the way I placed my mattress away from the others. Like, I want my own space. I've always been a bit like that. I feel secure with walls around me like that, so I can't be attacked from all sides. It's my paranoia coming out again I think.
The last bit was more surreal, even for a dream. It's not the first time I've dreamed of 4 mystical characters. There were 4 faces on a black square once. And another which escapes me. This lot seemed a bit friendlier than the others but still rather suspicious. Battery powered and all that!
So much in this dream, so little time to interpret. Back later...
