Dream: Partying Trashed Place

After some partying that was related to a holiday, the vacation place my family staid at in this dream was completely trashed, and it appeared that this was too much for housekeeping to handle, so the place would stay trashed.

My husband and I had been hanging out with friends at a party. At the party one of our friends had a photos order form, and we were looking though and ordering photos.

I left for a potty break to a bathroom that was completely trashed. That's when I realized, we had forgotten all about the time. I had originally promised my mother and stepfather we would meet them for lunch, and now it was 7pm. I ran into my mom and stepfather on the way from the potty. I called my husband to say "Let's go with my folks to a restaurant." But he did not want to leave the party, whereas I had had more than enough. So i suggested that my husband stay on his own at the party if he liked.

I thought it would be good to take the boys with me and my folks to the restaurant. But I was confused on whether they were being babysat or whether they were at the grown up party with my husband. Either way there were no other kids there, and surely they would prefer to go out with their grandparents.

Fragment: Worrying about my husband, comparing to my father

In a phone call with my dad I mentioned the word death in passing, and he asked whether I am depressed. I said no, that I am just worried that my husband is working himself to death, working 12 hours and not sleeping enough at night despite being sick with the flu. But I guess it will be ok, because my father worked like this all the time and now he is fine. Side note: my dad worked like this all the time indeed, whereas my husband only now has deadlines at work and is indeed working long hours despite being sick, but the difference is that with my husband it is the exception not the rule, I still worry though, but not literally about death.

Fragment: emotional exchange with my mom
I had some sort of serious discussion with my mom, don't know about what. Then she argued that when she divorced my dad I was desperate but now I wouldn't be because I felt differently about it. Suddenly I was desperate again to show her that no that had not changed. She was shocked and concerned. I then told her, while it has not changed how I felt back then, but I do feel differently now about you, or else we would not be talking. We hugged.
