General Weirdness...

Last night I had a dream. More specifically, I had a dream between the 5:11 AM and 6:10 AM (when my alarm went off).

In my dream, Trevor and I were relocating to be closer to my grandmother (which is odd since I no longer have any living grandparents, and we already live within walking distance of Trevor's grandmother), and were in the process of buying a house. We had looked at several (including an old, historic home with no walls and tight staircases to nowhere), but ended up deciding on a rather large residence across the street from my grandmother's retirement center.

Moving day arrived, and the trucks came with all of our stuff inside. But the house we were moving into wasn't empty like it was supposed to be. On the contrary, it was still full of the former occupant’s possessions and everything was a mess. A lot of the furniture was in really bad shape, and Trevor and I decided to call a donation service to come and pick up everything to make room for our stuff. They arrived a few minutes later (funny how time never makes sense in dreams), and I escorted them through the house - explaining what needed to go in each of the rooms. I remember there being a couple of items that I was considering keeping, but these pieces were few and far between. Most were either ornately carved or seemed to be antiques that I could either incorporate into my own stuff or possibly sell online.

Anyway, it was during this initial walk through with the donation service that the former occupants came home (and the dream took a turn for the bizarre).

The former owners were the Duggars. We had somehow bought their home without knowing it and they had forgotten to move out. They were also not-so-thrilled that Trevor and I were moments away from donating their stuff to Good Will.

Trevor and I decided to give the Duggars awhile to get their affairs in order, pack and move out. Coordinating such a large family was proving to be chaotic, and for some reason Trevor and I spent most of the second half of the dream teaching Jim Bob and Michelle how to Skype with one another from different parts of the house to help facilitate communication. This was much easier said than done (the Duggars seemed a little technologically impaired), but I was making slow progress with Michelle in the family room. In fact, Michelle was just about to Skype with Jim Bob in the kitchen for the first time when my alarm went off.

I have no idea what all of this means, but I keep thinking about it. Trevor and I have watched the TLC show about the Duggars in the past, but not recently. There is no reason why I should be dreaming of them. Or relocating for that matter. It was all very odd.

Thoughts?

Dreams are just weird! This morning I had a dream that Jim and I lived in this apartment complex that I think we had just moved to, and there were a LOT of buildings, and they all looked alike, and I had parked my car outside of the wrong one and couldn't find it when I needed to leave, and I was wearing my new boots and my feet were going to start hurting, but I was walking and walking and couldn't find my car. Then I somehow crossed into Canada, but I had my driver's license, so they let me back into the US, whew!

I'm just glad the Duggars weren't my neighbors, or something. :D

sooo funny! Thanks for sharing. I am surprised you did not talk to them in your dream about the million kids they have.
