Sunday, March 14, 2010, 9:06 a.m. I woke this morning from a dream.
THE DREAM: I was away for a week, I think at camp. While I was gone, my husband purchased a new house for us. When I arrived at the house, I saw that it was a rather large house and it was very modern-looking. It appeared to be of a natural wood of some kind on the outside like Cedar or Birch. The inside had all hardwood floors. What walls there were also appeared to be a natural wood color, so there was not much color in this house. I wish that I was an artist and that I could draw this house, because it was very detailed.
I asked my husband for a tour. He started to walk ahead of me, so I said, No, I want to take a tour WITH you, so he got next to me, put his arm around me, and then he took me on the tour. The house didnt appear to have much in the way of walls as a floor would often end at a set of stairs, either beside them or at the top of the foot of the stairs, i.e. straight up. The house had a long porch with a railing that looked like a boat ramp. I believe it stretched from the house from the southeast to the northwest. The kids had evidently left the door to this porch standing open, so I closed it in order to save on the power bill.
Inside the house just off this porch was a very large room that appeared empty. It had a very high ceiling. I asked my husband about the furnace filter as I wondered if it needed to be changed. He said that it was in this ceiling and that it was so high up that he had to call someone out to replace it for him. There was a set of stairs that were off the south portion of this room. We took the stairs down to a patio, which my husband called a donut patio. The cement portion of this patio looked more like a sidewalk that was winding and it had green grass next to it. He said that a lot of people liked to visit the patio and to hang out there, but it didnt seem all that practical to me. The term dignitaries came to mind.
Inside the house my husband showed me room after room, but still I had not seen a living room. Actually, I had not seen a living room, kitchen, dining room, bedrooms or bathrooms yet. So, I asked him about the living room. Then, we went into this area designated as the living room, but it just seemed like it had some living room furniture out in this open space and it was not homey at all. In this same area were three dining tables and chairs, two of which were behind the living area and the other was to the east (right) of the living room. This third table and chairs sat on a narrow section of floor that was more like a balcony as it sat over top of the bottom of a set of stairs. It was directly north looking from the top of the stairs. The living room sat to the left (west) of this set of stairs. There were no walls, but there did appear to be a curtain of some kind dividing the living room from the stairs.
Going yet further east in the house (this is the direction the tour was taking me), I saw a hallway off to my left, which would have been north of us. It was a long hallway extending south to north. Off to the left (west) of this hallway were government offices of some kind. I asked my husband why these offices were in our house or why he bought a house that had these offices in it. He responded, Did you see what a deal we got? And, then he showed me his office, which was on the right (east) of this hall and that stretched the length of the hall south to north with his desk sitting in the middle (center). I thought this was a bit excessive. Then, he explained that the government people had some kind of a contract with him for the use of this space and that soon they would be vacating these offices.
I then asked him about our bedroom. From this hallway, we went back to the main hall off of which this hallway branched, and south of this main hall that was going west to east was another set of stairs, so we took this set of stairs down to the bedroom. I dont recall anything about the bedroom other than there was a small area with a toilet and sink, I think, right at the entry way to the bedroom, but it also seemed to be rather out in the open. As we were leaving the bedroom, I wondered how I would remember where it was. On the way back up the stairs, I asked my husband about the expenses of this house. I know that I had already expressed concern about the power bill, which is why I inquired about the furnace filter and why I closed the door to this porch that stretched out to the northwest. My husband showed me some paper work. I just remember that only one of the items on the paper cost $750/month.
Then, my husband took me outside to the back of the house. There was a one room house in the back of our house that was used to house temporary guests, like missionaries. The house to the west of us also had a small house in the back of it for the same purpose. That house was still under construction. Behind our house was a small area with a few trees and maybe some grass and there were some people standing under the trees. The rest of the area (land) looked like a dessert. Everything seemed like it was dirt or dirt colored from the ground to the exterior of the house to the interior of the house.
This part is a little confusing because now I felt as though I was talking with my oldest son instead of my husband, and I told him that his desire for all of this reminded me of his uncle, my oldest brother. Then, we reminisced about my childhood and how many times we had to move and how much my brother hated to move.
Prior to all of this, I think when I was still at camp, I received a phone message from my niece who was staying with my husband and family while I was gone. She told me that when I returned home that I needed to substitute teach for a day in a public classroom. I had never taught public school before, so I know that I asked my daughter for advice, since she is a public school teacher (in real life).
I was having trouble with my desktop on my computer screen. When I went to something from my desktop, then it would not return to the desktop like it had been previously. There were some people who I believe were agents of some kind who I asked for help, but none of them were able to help me. I think I had auditioned with them previously but that they had turned me down because they felt I had a weak singing voice. Yet, there was a group of people who showed up and one of them was a musician and I think they took him on. I saw his instrument. At first I thought it was a saxophone, but when he said, No, then I said that it must be an alto sax or a clarinet, as they look similar.
This musician and I talked music with each other. Then, he and I both heard a girl singing off in the distance (north or northwest of us). He immediately identified who she was, which surprised me since she was my best friend in elementary school at Windermere Elementary and we had also attended high school together. Her name was Ruth B. (German name). So, I asked the musician (instrumentalist) if he had also attended Windermere Elementary. END
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Psalm 27:

Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Psalm 27:
The LORD is my light and my salvation
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD.
