crazy dream

OMG you guys, I had such a crazy dream!

I dreamed that I got a full-time job and John quit his job. But in addition to my job, I was also still coaching my clients in the evening, and I was managing the rentals, and paying all the bills, and keeping up with the house, and the laundry, and groceries, and cooking, and making sure the dogs went to the groomers, and all these many, many things, and John wasn’t doing anything except for hiking all day long! He was just out by himself in the desert for days at a time. And when I suggested that he do some of the work, he said, “There’s nothing to be done, you’ve done it all.” I was so mad that I’m surprised I didn’t wake up and start hitting him!

So then I said (in my dream), “I want a swimming pool. And I want you to dig it yourself.” Which sounds terrible, but is actually fairly funny, because John always wants to do everything himself. I always want to hire people because he doesn’t have time to do it all.  But he likes to do things himself because that way they’re “done right.” And in real life I do want a pool, but John has been ignoring that impractical wish of mine, because there’s nowhere for a pool on that hill.

In my dream, he dug a swimming pool. And it wasn’t just a rectangle in the ground. He dug caves and underwater passageways. He installed underwater lights and different color tiles. And it was so beautiful that I wanted to become a fish so I could live there.

I wish I could post a picture. But taking photos of our dreams is something for a different generation to figure out.
