New/old home

Date: 7/2/2024

I was looking at houses with a couple of people, looking to move. I think the first person was a mixture of Lana and Sophia, and we needed another person to live with, and the second person became Samantha the Palestinian woman that used to be in our group. The dream started at a drive in at night. I wasn’t enjoying being there and was hiding away in a tapestried room. The next day we look at homes. The house we looked at was much bigger on the inside than seemed from the outside. It had a bright blue exterior, and was surprisingly inexpensive. As I was looking around, I realized that it had five bedrooms, and I was excited that one of the extra bedrooms could be my art studio. I go up to the top floor, and I see old friends up there from college. They were congratulating me on the new home, but I hadn’t even made a decision yet. I look around upstairs and I suddenly realize that this house was the house I grew up in, in Golden Valley. I go through the house again with new eyes remembering the ten years I grew up here, and I decide I do not want to live here again. In fact I don’t even want to move at all, and where I am living currently is perfectly fine for the moment. I tell that to Lana/Sophia, who feels similarly. It isn’t the time to move. We try to tell Samantha, but she really wanted to live here and was really disappointed. I feel guilty but will help her find two others to live there with her.
