Seeing my younger self

Date: 8/29/2017

I was living in the 2 bedroom upstairs apartment, as I am now. Everything seemed to be current when I woke up in my dream. The new tenants (The Painters) were moving in a month early. They had apparently taken the blankets off my bed while I was sleeping on it? So I woke on my white mattress. I was trying to figure out what was going on because my bed had moved & the room looked emptier. I then noticed them outside my room shuffling about & moving in. I told her I didn't think they'd be here for another month... I immediately start freaking out. I have no place to go. I call my mom (who lives 3,000 miles away) & rush downstairs. There's a party going on in the backyard. I run into my friend Suz in the driveway beside the house (she also owns the upstairs apartment). I tell her I thought I had another month. I start crying a bit & she gives me a hug. I suck up the tears, with my big sunglasses on & head for the back. As I'm walking into the gathering, I see a little girl, about 3 years old with curly hair. As I get closer, I realize it's me. 25+ years ago. She looks back at me, just as intrigued. I can tell we both know but we are speechless. I can't stop staring into my eyes. It takes away all the worry & sadness from my current situation. Only curiosity remains. A man tries to pull her hand & make her walk with him. I can tell she doesn't want to go. My mom walks up at this point. Her or another person try to stop him (he wasn't trying to kidnap her, just get her to go with him at the party). I tell them she's alright. She can handle herself. Eventually I sit down on the grass in front of her (me). We still don't speak. She says something spunky & funny to another man who walks up. She's sassy, sarcastic & serious. I look to my mom after this happens & tell her "I wasn't like that at all." Mom says I kinda was. Which is so weird because it was the older version of me in my 3 year old self, and my shy, innocent, timid, loner 3 year old self was in me.
