I'm So Sorry!

Date: 2/25/2026

In this dream the main part I remember is that I am driving through a Nova Scotian town, it's like I'm driving from Cape Breton back home. Something is happening and I stop to get help from someone in their home. I come around the back of someone's house and I'm already feeling so sheepish. I'm like sneaking because I feel guilty about needing help. I see that the person is getting into their SUV in the driveway (the vehicle is the same make and colour as my mom's in real life). So I go inside the house and I'm feeling sooo sheepish, I don't even know why I need to be in there, probably some kind of need for security. In some moments I feel like I hear someone coming in and I brace myself for impact (shock, anger, yelling, misunderstanding) but no one comes. I look around the house and it's a very small, modest home, that belongs to an older woman or couple. She has kind of witchy decor, purple, bohemian, but not fancy or anything. In her bedroom there is a figurine of three colourful wooden dogs kind of all placed together as a puzzle, this is something significant. At one point I hear people coming and I go to the front door and they have a black lab and I get so nervous because the dog runs out the door and I think I'm going to lose it and I'll be walking all over looking for her and calling. But the family is coming up to the house and I back up into the house and let them come in. It's the daughter of the woman who lives in the house and I start to apologize profusely for being in the home, her husband is there too. In behind them the couple that lives there starts to come in. I am just expressing such sorrow for breaking in and am explaining why I am there (which I forget). They are absolutely calm and accommodating...they don't care! They say you wouldn't have done it if you didn't need to and she says that her mom (the owner) works at the church, it's normal for her to help people. They were more concerned with how overly apologetic I was but they said it was ok. I've often had dreams like this, like I am seeking shelter and stability but I feel so badly because I'm seeking it from people who don't know me. And then I feel like I must be sneaking to weasel my way in, in case I rejected in some way. This relates to my real upbringing.
