Technically, my Aunt Fran (Zizi) and Zizi Joe are still married, but in real life they are separated and live in different houses. This is the first time in my life I've had a dream of Zizi Joe. Zizi Joe and Aunt Fran were separated and not living together in the dream, and interestingly, Zizi Joe bought his own mansion (wow, mansion!) in a town called Bernardsville, near where Aunt Fran lives. I had to go to his house for some reason, that reason not being clear at first, but I remember driving on a one lane suburban road with traffic lights and power lines and a sunset in front of me. When I make the right on his street, I parallel park next to his driveway and could not believe that he lived in a mansion! It was about 3 stories tall! "Wow," I said as I approached his door. The sky was getting dark, and his mansion looked olive green from top to bottom with a swirly shaped pole near his front entrance. I knock and he greets with a smile, "Welcome, Angelica. Feel free to relax." He said something of that sort to me. He was in the kitchen (and the kitchen was quite small for a mansion) and I walk passed it to go upstairs. I hang out in what looked like Laura's old bedroom, and Zizi Joe told me when Laura comes to visit she sleeps in that room. I sit down on her bed, relax, and watch TV for an hour or so. Then I come down back to the kitchen. He was cooking something on the stove and then he looks at me and says, "I remember when you did cooking camp over the summer when you were young and you made pasta and Alfredo sauce with bacon pieces. It was so good, could you make it for me?" I tell him that I don't have the ingredients with me so he told me to go to the supermarket to buy pasta and bacon. He already had the Alfredo sauce. I drive to store which was less than 5 minutes away and come back to his house. It was nighttime by then. As I head back to the kitchen and turn on the stove, the dream stopped and I awoke.
