Last night I had a dream (#2 of 3) that I was walking through my old home, which was vacant. That is the super-short one-line version. I woke up and recoded the dream in my journal, then fell back to sleep and had the same dream start all over again!! I am once again entering the house through the garage entrance. The house again appears to be vacant - or so I thought because there is no furniture. This time, as I walk towards the bedrooms and bathroom, I can clearly hear the sound of an electric razor being used behind the closed bathroom door. Somehow I know it is a girl in the bathroom, based upon the appearance of a “girls” bedroom and the unmade bed. I suspect she is using the razor to trim/shave her legs.

Now that I am aware there is someone else in the house, I feel the need to find a place to hide, so I go down the narrow hall past the bathroom to an unused, unoccupied bedroom (bed is made). I initially think of hiding behind the door, but then realize that if discovered my only way out would force me past the girl in the bathroom. I decide to leave the house entirely, so I stealthily walk past the bathroom on my way out. All is going well until I reach the living room area, just short of the den, and the way out through the garage. There is a long couch blocking my path!!

I discover I am holding a broom, which I think I had for a while, intent on sweeping the floors clean for the new owners of the house. At first I can’t figure a way past the couch and out of the house undetected. I decide to use the broom as if it were a pole vault. When I do, the bristles do not collapse under my weight, and I float in super-slow motion over the couch. I realize how odd this is, and it dawns on me I am dreaming! The scene goes black and I wake up.

Arrrggh!!! This is the second time I realized I was dreaming and woke up! Would you call that a WILD???
