Family Drama

Date: 3/11/2017

Side note: my dad recently had surgery and while he's getting better, things have been pretty tense at home irl. I spent my entire spring break this week helping take care of him. Everyone has been very stressed and very on edge. Earlier today I fell asleep and took a nap in the afternoon. I dreamt that my parents, sister, and I were having dinner together and everyone was in a bad mood. We were eating breakfast for dinner (scrambled eggs and bacon holla). At one point my mom said something to my younger sister, and she basically snapped. She was crying, yelling how these past few weeks have been too much for her, and my mom tried to get her to calm down. My dad started yelling at both of them, and soon everyone was yelling. My sister threw her dinner plate on the floor, and it shattered. She stormed off to her room and my mom went after her. While it's a bit extreme, this dream was realistic in that everyone have been pretty tense and irritable lately. My dad has been yelling a lot. But in the dream, I just sat there, almost as if I was physically incapable of speaking or moving from my seat. I just stared at my hands and finished eating in silence till I woke up.
