Sydneysiders

Date: 8/1/2020

I am in a cabin or holiday home of sorts and am planning to leave. There are various people there. I remember being upstairs and it looked like upstairs in my dad's house. I am waiting on another group of people and am downstairs now. It looks nothing like my dad's house, just a generic BnB type place. I walk upstairs and mid way up there is a door and landing. People come out with luggage and make their way downstairs. I am now walking outside and a young girl walks alongside me and is smiling. She tells me that she is looking forward to going to the beach and playing in the water with me. I jokingly tell her that there is no way I am going in the water as it is too cold. Inside I am really thinking no way, it IS too cold. I am then in the water and I am making a quick exit to the shore. On dry land it turns out I was being chased by a shark. I am not sure if I was aware of this as I don't seem perturbed. There is no sign of the little girl so I really hope we weren't in the water together 😂 I walk along the sand and there are two dorsal fins making their way about the swimmers. Nobody seems that bothered. As one approaches a person in the water, I think it's OK, it's only a dolphin. The dolphin then comes on land and starts moving about. Some people pat it and I am hoping to get to do that too but it goes back in the water before I can get to it. I remember thinking good things like that never happen to me. I am then on the move again. I meet my older sister Alison and it turns out we are on our way to Sydney. I guess we must already be in Australia as it looks as though we are going to take the bus. I am back on the top landing of the guest house I mentioned at the start of the dream. So maybe I am getting the order of events mixed up. I remember asking Alison when she is going home and how much money she has. I think I am budgeting for the time I have left in Australia. Outside we are heading towards the bus stop and I remember being anxious about making sure I have enough time to get pics of landmarks like the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Actually, thinking about it, we are already in Sydney but in the 'burbs and I am aware that I've not spent any time sightseeing in Sydney. I feel guilty as I think my daughter should see the major attractions. These are World renowned structures after all. I get my camera out as apparently it is a "thing" wherever we go in the World, I take a picture of my daughter holding on to a bus stop as she's swings from it, with the other arm outstretched. I tell her to do her pose then I get the camera. Then she is not there! I look up and she is posing for another shot being taken by my mum (who passed away 5 years ago). I become anxious that I won't get the pic as the bus is coming. I then struggle to take the pic as I can see my nose through the lens! Eventually though I get the pic and the bus arrives. As we are queuing my dad appears and I say does this bus give change as I only have big notes. He doesn't know then I start to get flustered as my daughter has disappeared again, she is already on the bus. The last thing I remember is ask the driver if he can give me change. I don't know if the answer was yes or no.
