it just occured to me

I am not one to remember dreams. When I was a kid, I can remember every one of them but not now.

but..

for the past week I have been having a dream that I am shopping with strangers. elderly strangers. We go to the mall, grocery store, etc.. I just remember that we all have these credit cards and are shopping away and they have the srangest looks on their faces, like startled or they smelled something icky. Oh and they have coats on so it must be cold outside but not that cold. and it is in the first person - meaning that I don't see myself shopping with them, I am shopping with them.

so what's the deal with that?

I think the dream is trying to TELL you something. I get buried or hidden anger/distaste/aggression...(they smell something foul, but are being too polite to say anything). It is something "Old" that has been buried a long time. You are shopping, you are LOOKING FOR SOMETHING...a resolution to some past coldness?

you could very well be onto something. I'll have to see if I can pay attention to more of it.

For some odd reason I have been looking at things lately that I haven't seen in 20 years. Things that back then were bad news so I dismissed and put them away only to discover they changed who I was.

Did you see the post I wrote about old friendships? I think that this is all tied together in some way
