Good morning one and all and Happy Friday!

I had another dream last night about having an apartment downtown and also living out here. In the dream last night I was describing to someone how I was buying furniture for my apartment and starting to add in the personal touches.

I have a theory about why I am dreaming about living in two places. First of all, I know it is not literal. I spent enough time in two places as a child and I don't like going back and forth anymore.

I think it is a way that my consciousness is handling the fact that my life can be very different depending on the day. Some days I work, some days I'm with my son, some evenings I'm free, other evenings I'm not. My life is very compartmentalized into brief periods of space.

What I do with that space depends on the demands on my time.

I find the apartment downtown idea really liberating. In the first dream I had just rented it and this time I was buying furniture (and it was pretty cool stuff too) and rugs and so on. I was working downtown and enjoying it and living out here too when I was in my 'Mom' space.

I can't wait to see how it develops in further dreams.

I was spending a lot of time with a friend of mine in the dream too. Talking about work (because we were working together) but talking about life as well. We spent more time talking than working and this has been a trend in my dreams too.

I have been dreaming about friends that I know (they don't always look exactly the same as in real life) and we have been talking and hanging out and connecting.

All I can conclude from these dreams is that I am creating space within my mind for all of my different roles and manifesting the need for connections with people I care about.

The dreams are reflecting the fact that I believe I have the right to do what I want and want what I want in my life. They aren't needy dreams striving for something to fill in the emptiness or loneliness. They are dreams that are already full. The dreams are simply an inner-expression of what is already happening to me. When I wake up from one I feel as if I have been reading a book about myself, it's a most exceptional, wonderful feeling.

I can't help but feel that something awesome (and universal) is happening to me. If I were dancing, spinning round and round that would come close to expressing the way I feel right now.
