I had gotten too far from home because in my dream world when it floods everything becomes a swimming pool and i easily glided through the water, down the sidewalks, maybe for a mile before the water disappeared.
The sidewalks weren't for people. When it was time to go back home and the floodwaters had disappeared, I discovered I had to crawl or sort of Neanderthal it all the way back to home base because the walks were right outside people's doors and underneath low, low roofs that made me think perhaps I had chosen the sidewalk designated for pets. And without the water it took forever to get back.
....
I have just returned to this draft after who knows how long.
I don't remember if in my dream I got back "home," but it wasn't really home anyway.
Also included in the dream was a trip to the theme park and the dilemma of what to pack, and my sister and I trying to start and drive a vehicle to a restaurant across the street (for some reason this was a challenge) and a classmate and I climbing up and down a vine- covered rock face. She was fearless, like she is on real life. I admire her.
This classmate of mine - we used to be buddies, until the day she told me I irritated her. And when I left her alone, I saw her change into whoever I was holding her back from being.
It's a little depressing to think of it in a certain light, but just because my presence was a cage to her doesn't mean it is for everybody else. It makes me happy that I didn't hang on to her any longer than I did - because she has made so many friends, changed her appearance, even stopped wearing her backpack to school, I think - since I left her alone.
It's almost like I'm being her friend by not being her friend.
But in the dream, she was being really encouraging to me on that rock face with the vines.
