My old best friend Brittany Chandler was in my dream. But, beforehand my husband and I was shopping in the dollar store. I had no money wishing I did, as I looked for items. Even though I didn't find anything I actually wanted, I was still upset about not having anything. After we left the store, I saw my best friend hugging on a big faimly of white people. They had the all American Faimly way about them. But, I noticed my black friend hugging their children as if they were hers. (The reason I bring race into this, is because she was always a little critical about Caucasians growing up, even though her friends were white). I caught a look into her eye. We saw each other. But, I kept walking to our car. We waited for my husband to unlock the doors. I heard "How are you Miss Ida" (talking about my little girl). But, I acted like we didn't hear and got into the car. I was a bit hurt in my dream because, our real life friendship ended unexpectedly. We never rekindled what we lost, even though we still remained friendly. Seeing her with another family, is what I expected us to be like growing up. The rest of the dream - was of my little girl driving to our house. She wouldn't let me sit in the drivers seat and we were already moving before I could grab the wheel. I was stressed the whole time even though she was driving good. She's only 8 years old in real life. So her feet hardly touch the gas and when it did it was stop and go stop and go. we finally made it to our driveway and the irony of all of this is I couldn't get the car in the driveway. Once she got out of the car and I had to park it my feet weren't strong enough to keep the brakes pressed and our car kept rolling down the hill. Eventually I got the car in "park" before I woke up from this dream.
