capri0mniHad a dream before I woke up this morning, and while I only remember a few dots of it, the ones I do remember are:
My Mother and Father were both in the dream, too (Mother died 26 years ago, and Father died 11 years ago), and the driveway in question was that of my childhood home (where I have not lived in 21 years, in a place I haven’t visited in 5 years).
So the homesickness, and longing for family, that have been saturating my dreams for the past several months, was all there. But they were waving us off (I think), not coming with us. And the whole point of the dream was that this trip was very important (but I don’t remember if any of us knew what the destination was).
Sometimes, my dream mind is frustratingly opaque in its symbolism. Other times ... It's about as subtle as a flashing neon sign with arrows, a scrolling marquee, and a circus pipe organ. :-)
Still have zero glimpse of a plot idea, though.
- One of those safety cones cleaning staff put down on the floor, with “Hebrew” lettering (or what my subconscious identified as Hebrew), and an English translation. The translation read: “Plot Point.”
- Frantic searching for my passport, and worrying that it had been left behind in a foreign country.
- Piling into a car with someone else and his (?) little brother, luggage piled on top, and in every nook of free space inside, and trundling down the driveway in the predawn hours to start a (road?) trip.

Date: 2017-10-06 07:46 pm (UTC)(and it was the very first clear detail of that dream, just to make sure I didn't miss the message in all the other details)
I'll give my subconscious credit for one thing, at least: It has mastered the art of the Snark. ;-)
