Dreamt that I lived at my mom’s house. I had the only bedroom with a ceiling fan. Next to my desk was a full size or maybe twin size bed. Next to that, was a large fish tank with fresh water fish in it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not sure why, I had access to octopus and other creatures in another tank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scooped out the freshwater fish and most of the water. Then I dumped a bucket of sea water and creatures into the tank. Water ran down the side of the wall and over the outlet and plugs. I was thinking that it could start a fire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I observed the water dripping. There was now standing water on the cherry stained hardwood floor. I was standing in the water. It was touching my short black socks. I wasn’t wearing shoes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I was in a store, Meijer. It’s like a more expensive Walmart. According to a friend, “it’s like if k-mart grew up on the right side of the tracks.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was walking through the clothing aisles, looking for something that spoke to me and was in my size. I ended up in the men’s clothing\/video game\/ electronics department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I spotted some Pac Man t-shirt. I was thinking John would love it. They didn’t have the right size. There were also male store workers talking amongst themselves questioning why I was in the men’s department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I became frustrated and left that department. I walked into another men’s clothing section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then there was this dark opening between shelves. Inside of it were black boxes on black shelves stacked. It was very large. There was an absence of color. I walked around for a bit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It felt like a maze. I thought to myself that normally I would love to explore a liminal space, but didn’t have the energy or time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I walked out of the store to the parking lot. I couldn’t find my car. I kept walking looking for it. Then I woke up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
