"I dreamt that I was living in a room in a variety store with my mom(who is deceased and she abandoned me emotionally). She wasn't in the room at this time but I pulled out a marijuana joint and I began to smoke a little of it and then I fanned the smoke out the window so that she couldn't smell it when she returned. I remember getting up to go out to the store and I noticed some men gardening outside my window. My younger daughter and my grand daughter came to visit me in my room which caught me by surprise because my granddaughter doesn't speak to me. Later I went to the store, now a market and I ran into my youngest daughter who was with my granddaughter (who I realized when I woke up was my middle daughter (who is estranged from me) but they were in a hurry to leave.
