"I had this dream that I went to see this house that Dave had designed for me and built for me. It was a new home. It had a huge open area in the middle of it, a lot of rock walls, and then other rooms. It was very big and vast. I never actually saw Dave, my husband, who had passed away, but he had designed this house for me. I take that back. He was in the dream, just not prominent. I walked around the house a lot, and at one point my leg had surgery on it and I could hardly put weight on it, so I was kind of laying around in the house. People came and visited."

"i am in between rental houses and neither were ones i know. I am aware that the reason i left the previous rental because was something that was going on that made me very uncomfortable. separately, i also realize that the previous was adjacent to a court house - this isn’t a threatening realization, just something i notice. the new rental landlords are very nice and welcoming. magic the cat was chasing shadows. My previous landlord needs to talk to me. He comes to my door - the door opens into a room with many different stacked mailboxes (like an apartment building would have). i am in just my underwear and im trying to talk to this guy and also cover the fact that i dont have anything on. he is saying it doesnt matter its ok. i feel torn between what i had done with my choice to move because the guy from the old rental house is so nice . He is saying in a super friendly voice “hi magic!” to my cat. and i can’t make a decision if i should go back or stay where I am. i recieve a call from the wife of the folks who own the new rental property. She is saying that i owe an extra $400, and they are really excited to have me. She tells me that she is the author of the “misery” series. outside of the new rental there were three large feathers, stuck into a rock.. The feathers are grey and dirty and very fluffy - they aren’t structured the way flight feathers would be. I feel worried that someone has left the festers there as some kind of a threat or to “mark me” to be harmed in some way. I am walking down a sidewalk and i pass by a lady who looks just like my mom in stature, gait, and appearance - The woman’s face isn’t my mom’s face but her general self is similar. At this point in the dream i have a real life memory that i connect to what i am seeing. I remember a real time when i was a little girl and my mom and i were walking down a sidewalk and she saw a lady who reminded me of my grandmother who had passed away before i was born and she started to cry and i correlate the dream moment with the real life one in the dream. Then i’m in this new apartment with my mom. There is a massive anaconda-sized snake. My mom thinks it’s really cool and nice for some reason and she is trying to interact with it and touch it. I can see that this gigantic snake is getting more threatening. it is moving very quickly and i tell my mom to stop and to get away from it because it is “going to strike”. I see the snake open its mouth from the side — it is facing away from us and it bares its fangs and goes into the coil to strike position. Then suddenly the snake has turned into a really weird and very friendly looking elephant with no tusks and a goofy smile smack in the middle of the front of its face and i say “That’s an elephant!” Then the elephant turns into some kind of bear-dog creature and it runs out. As this bear-dog hybrid runs out it turns into two of it. i still can’t decide if i’ve made a mistake. Both rentals seem to have friendly landlords but both places are problematic. I see a photograph that the previous landlord had taken of a bottle of wine and some water bottles he falsely claims I had left on the sidewalk when i was moving. "
