1. Margi and I switch spouses for a night at Shady Oak. There isn’t any sex/just sleeping. I notice John has lost weight and is in good shape.
2. There is some corporation that comes with big equipment and destroys our property. There is a Mexican American man who lives and works on our property as well. We have to hurry to to get out. The property is being destroyed without any warning.

I am cleaning up my BM on the floor after the toilet overflows at Pat’s house. I get some kind of machine to help me clean it up. It is a large machine that has to turn down one hallway into another. There are young girls staying at Pat’s place for a while. I don’t know where Pat is. I am calm about cleaning up the shit. The girls are happy.

The Dreamsters talked a week or so ago and decided it was not a good time for Pat to rejoin the group. We decided what to write and I sent the email. I think this dream says we did a good thing for Pat even though it was shitty. And I had said I would put him on the June calendar before talking with the group. So, it was my shit to deal with. Hopefully, he will find happiness like the young girls.

Paul and I are in my parents bedroom at Shady Oak. We are working on a fireplace that is not working. It is gas or electric. I get mad at Paul because he doesn’t check this screen that tells if what we did is working or not. I look around and notice that my parent’s bed is not made. I try turning on some lights. They are all burnt out.

the next scene is my pet mouse and I are walking together down the stairs from the second floor. I am happy.

I shared this dream with the Dreamsters on our Dream Circle Night. Here is what I wrote: If this were my dream, I am in my parent’s bedroom. I am reacting to Paul’s dementia how I assume my parents would: angry, controlling, Paul and I are fixing the fireplace. Fire=transformation, heat, and essential element. We are working on our new relationship; trying to get it to work. Paul is not giving it enough time. Is this my masculine energy that wants everything to work right away? The bed is not made-no cover up? The bulbs are burnt out. It isn’t dark in the dream/it is day time. But no energy/light=no understanding? The room and situation all need work. However, I then walk with my pet mouse. He is a helper like in the story with the lion and the mouse. He is a guide who is helping me with this transformation; this journey into a new life.

The lights being out may suggest Paul’s dementia. Nevuah said for me to get out of the shade of the oak and deal with the situation in a different way than my parents would.
