Here I am, up at 1:16AM and have not been able to sleep for the last hour or so. As usual some dream woke me up and I cannot get back to sleep.
Here's the dream: I wanted to invite 2-3 friends of mine over who had never met before, because I thought they would enjoy getting to know one another. Instead, somehow this really fat person who I have never met shows up along with the friends. I have no idea who he is, but in the dream, I seem to know him. My two friends who I wanted to meet are with us, but the whole day is taken up trying to rescue this fat man from parties he has gone to and gotten into trouble at. There is an animal in the dream that is supposedly mine, that looks somehow like a combination of a dog and a cat! It keeps biting me and misbehaving, and also gets lost., So I am vasilating between trying to rescue the fat man from his trouble and trying to find my "pet" and rescue it and my 2 friends never really get to know one another. To top this off, I am supposed to be at a job, and so I brought the friends with me to it, thinking we could all visit while I work (I have no job in real life). When my boss gets home and no dishes have been washed or any work done, so she is understandably upset with me. She also wonders why one of my friends is with me, because I had told her that this girl was a teenager that was coming with me, but in real life she is actually in her forties. I'm stumbling over the words of an explanation when I awake. I am all confused, resentful. and worried that if I ever want to get these friends of mine together in real life, that it would be a disaster like it was in this dream. And yet I would love for them to really meet one another. SIGH...
I wonder if I will be able to sleep now.
