It seems waiting and waiting to hear back on Leslie house is starting to affect me.  My dream for the past two nights have been about the house.

This night we got the house and were walking through right before settlement.  On the first floor there was a long hallway that I don't remember being there before, so we walked down it and there were four additional bedrooms down there - almost like an addition to the house.  I told Jamie there was much more room than I remembered.  I was worried, wondering where we were going to store all our stuff, but all the extra rooms put me at ease - we had plenty of room!

We then went in the basement and again there was a long hallway I didn't remember.  We walked down that hallway and ended up in a small restaurant, which was underground.  I was immediately panic stricken, wondering if we now owned the restaurant and if we did, I did not want continue owning it, but closing it down would mean all those people who would lose their jobs.  I didn't know what to do, but I was certain I didn't want to own a restaurant, and certainly not one out of our house.  We continued walking until I realized we were in a small underground town.  There were shops, restaurants, streets, patio tables.  That's when I realized that the restaurant wasn't part of our house at all - it was part of this town, and I was so relieved.  We walked back to our house and went into the basement and then I woke up.

 I went back to sleep later and dreamt that I needed to shower and went into Leslie House's bathroom and it was pink!  Lots of pink - which was strange because I didn't remember it being pink.  There was also a line for the shower and by the time it was my turn, I didn't have a towel.  I didn't know that you had to go to a goodwill type location to choose a towel before showering.  I got my towel, but woke up before I got to shower.

I think this is pretty clearly telling me that I'm feeling overwhelmed with waiting for the house, packing, moving, selling our house, and the whole aspect is the new direction I'm taking in life.  I didn't necessarily need a dream to tell me this, but it was fun nonetheless.  At least in my dreams, I'm living in our dream house!  If only the bank would give us an answer and make it happen.
