I was in my current home but it was a mess: not dishes and grime, but furniture and such, as if I am moving in or out.

My in-laws were here and my children were not.

I remember a fat, prominent political man whose name was "Thurman". (I'm pretty sure this is a real person). He was looking to buy our house. He was just hanging out with us like old friends then went to check out the rest of the house. We heard him in our jetted tub and my husband made some comment about "now he's being a nuisance back there". Thurman overheard him through the vents in the ceiling and left our house in a huff.

My in-laws had a BIG fish-tank they were trying to figure out how to move. It had some basic saltwater fish in it, but there were two absolutely horrible big fish in it that slammed up against the tank trying to get me whenever I came near it. They were disgusting.

I realised, while in this house, that I had left my cat* (see note) in our old apartment and no one had fed him for two weeks. My husband tried to assure me he would be fine because he was so fat, but when we got there, Huey, the cat, was dead. I didn't see him but was in another room and was hysterically upset that my cat was dead.

My husband then proceeded to get out a frying pan and start cooking the dead cat.

Later I was at my grandparents’ house with my kids and my grandpa* (see note). I was VERY angry that my baby's bottle dripped on a chair. I ended up packing up and leaving over this.

Note:

* I used to have this cat. My grandpa has been dead since 1993.

I have shadows of other memories about this dream: breaking a bowling ball, rain, and something wrong with the backyard of my house.

The old apartment shows up in my dreams often and it's usually very distorted and has a really bad vibe about it. I've had dreams of hidden rooms, rows of fish tanks, being raped by my own shady con-man friends, and an Armageddon type battle only mixed with "A Bugs Life" type characters: all in this apartment I lived in for only about a year.

Hi Chris,

I read your post earlier but didn't respond straight away purely because I don't want to be the only one commenting on people's dreams and jumping in with ideas as soon as I read something.

Whilst I've been drawn to the Forum to help and I love working with dreams, I believe other's opinions and what they see are a necessary component and I often feel a sense of relief when I leave a post for a while and Jane comments. It would be great to see many others interacting and giving their input but as no-one else has commented yet and your PLEASE seems rather urgent to get you started in relation to 1)

Are your present thoughts scattered, jumbled or shifting?

How do you see your inlaws, husband and politicians, this politician in particular?

Has this got anything to do with the "politics" of a certain situation in your life?

Do you feel you are missing any child like qualities i.e. trust, spontaniety, creativity, expression etc.?

Are there some emotions you want/need to express but aren't because you don't want to cause a fuss or be a nuisance?
