Weird moving dream…
I was considering finding a new apartment and ended up at this old building downtown. My old caretaker from Wolseley puttered around in the hallway, which I found annoying. I found myself way up high on the side of a building on Portage and Smith. I was sitting with someone (I think Alison) on some kind of a rafter, waiting for a repairman of some sort t tell me whether one set of wires needed to be insulated, or another set of wires needed to be connected, and I wanted to know the cost.

While waiting, I became afraid I would fall. The the person I was with shoved me over to the end of the rafter and said, “I need some room or I’ll fall.” I wasn’t able to get a firm hold and felt very insecure.

From were I was, I saw Eatons and wanted to get there. I considered taking a bus because I was cold, but realized I’d have to walk just as far in order to get to the nearest bus stop.

In the next segment of my dream I found myself driving with Alison in her van. We were in Kildonan Park trying to find something. On our right was a one way road, and Alison asked me where it led. I tried telling her, “Nowhere,” but she turned and quickly realized that I was right. She was confused and asked me what to do. I told her to turn around and get back on the main road. Even though we’d be going the wrong way on that road I knew we would be safe because it was free of traffic. It was a simple as turning right, and could be accomplished in a couple seconds.
