Had another one of those dreams where i’m in a large house that i thought i was familiar with but has a whole section i didn’t know about. Those are usually really cool dreams and this one was pretty cool too except for the story line. It was my dream mixed with some sort of drama storyline like from a movie and it was all running simultaneously. The rooms were fantastic! The storyline was something about the owner of the house building on new rooms for some people who are coming (back) to live in the house. As the omniscient dreamer, i’m watching three workmen sawing boards and 2x4’s to frame up some rooms in a large empty barn-like place. One of the men is smoking a filter-less cigarette while he works and the cigarette is smoked down to about an inch. There’s a lot of straw on the ground around him and i’m concerned he’s going to cause a fire. It’s Johnny Depp! One of the workmen is a woman. I can’t see the other one but it’s a man, i’m pretty sure.
For the dream me IN the dream, i’m wandering through a really huge house, like a plantation house from the civil war times. I’m going through the living room up some stairs. There’s a door i never noticed before that leads up to what i guess would be the attic. I go up these stairs and can hear the sound of wood being cut and hammered. I don’t want to be seen. I don’t think i’m supposed to be here. Something about some people coming to live here and i think i’m one of those people…. (dream merge) and i want to see how the news rooms are decorated to see if i can tell which one is for me. The workers are in another part of the house/attic so i’m not too worried that i’ll run into them. I look in the first room. It’s painted in bright primary colors of blue, red, and yellow. The carpet is green like grass. It’s a race-car theme as for a child but there are two beds in the room, like for brothers, except the beds are big ones. King sized. But because the room is so huge, the beds don’t take up all the room. I think how fun it will be to have a slumber party in this room when the others get here. The next room is also complete but i can’t remember now how it was decorated. More formal i think. Nice but it didn’t feel like mine either. The last room i look in draws me in and i know it’s mine. It’s painted psychedelic swirly patterns and has interesting lights everywhere. Lava lamps! I always wanted one. It’s also a large room but there’s only one big bed in the center. I love this room and want to stay but know it’s supposed to be a secret and i have to wait until i’m invited to live there.
Workmen are being yelled at by a woman. She fires them all, including the three that were in the earlier part of the dream. Those three (yep, one is a woman) get on one of those train things. Don’t know what they’re called. You have to pump the level up and down and it rolls on the tracks… They’re just going to move on to the next town. Johnny Depp still has that cigarette but it’s between his index and middle finger. I’m surprised it’s not burning him. Just when they start getting the train car thingy moving, the lady who fired them runs over and tells them to come back. She never wanted to fire them in the first place but needed to get rid of the other (four) workers but didn’t want them to feel singled out.
Hmmm. What ARE those train things called? I don’t think i’ve ever known a name for them. I’ve seen them in Bugs Bunny cartoons all my life though.
The feeling i had in the dream was the same feeling i used to have as a kid when we had to move. When dad would get transferred and they’d shop for houses, the real-estate agent in the new town would take us to model homes. Audree and i (and Lois when she was old enough) would run from room to room looking at how they were decorated and would claim “our” room. I vaguely remember one of those rooms i claimed when we moved to Virginia. The furniture was white. The bed had a canopy. I remember a lot of yellow in the room too. Maybe the curtains? It was a very “girly” room, even down to the perfume tray on the dresser and the hand-held mirror. Pretty cool, model homes.
