Barn Dance

[superbadgirl]

I don't know why, but an awful lot of my dreams take place in or around my childhood home. Maybe that's my subconscious telling me it wants to be a kid again, or my conscience telling me I'm a bad daughter for not setting foot in the home for over five years now. Anyway.

I was upstairs in the girls' room (yes, many, many children in the house and three bedrooms; one for ma and pa, one for the boys and one for the girls), getting ready for bed, I think. A deep red Mercury Cougar pulled up the driveway and I peered out the window. It was, no surprise since they were on my mind, Dean and Sam Winchester. I have no idea why they were at my house, but obviously it couldn't have been good.

My mom invited them in and started cooking for them. Traditional Sunday brunch - eggs with green pepper, cheese (and sometimes ham, ick), bacon (ick), toast and orange juice. There were also caramel and orange rolls. It smelled good, and that was when I realized I wasn't getting ready for bed, but getting ready to go out. I went downstairs, with baby carrots in my hand. I was going to use them as an excuse to go into the kitchen to ogle the Winchesters. They weren't there when I arrived, but it was clear they really liked my mom's cooking. They ate everything.

I was confused, so I ate the carrots instead of putting them in the fridge. I figured that would be good for my teeth. I heard music - Paul Simon's Late in the Evening. I went toward it and discovered the yard full of cars - and I noted the Mercury Cougar had moved. It was parked out past the garden and by the grove. The music came from a ramshackle shed that's on the property, and people were coming and going from there.

"It's a wedding dance," my mom told me. "We thought we could use the extra money."

I remembered that's where I was getting ready to go, and the music was very enticing. I started out, but my mom stopped me and told me I wasn't invited so I had better not ruin everything. I went anyway, and people were having a surprisingly good time in that little shed. I danced for a while, then got hot and went outside for some air. I walked to the grove, where a whole bunch of kids were following Dean and Sam around.

"What's going on?" I said.

"You shouldn't be here," they said.

I didn't believe them, but then I woke up. Just when it could have gotten interesting.

I find it really interesting that you went where you wanted twice, despite people telling you you weren't invited or shouldn't be there. That sounds very positive to me, like your mind was working out something in the dream, and it was good, whatever it was.

Or: a surefire way to get me to do something is to tell me I can't do it. ;)

Which is very positive! :D

It is? I've always thought that was one of my negative traits. *g*

Eh, depends. I prefer a positive spin. ;)

Don't let the "Why do you always have to be such a pain in the ass?" comments make you think it's a negative trait. ;)

hehe You're probably right.
