I had a weird dream today

So today I dreamed that I went to the Sprout House, the house where I lived most recently, to either visit or pick up some stuff I had left when I moved. I saw Anna and Tuan, and they were living downstairs and it was all pretty and light and well fixed-up. Sunny was like, I found your computer and fixed it up! I looked and saw that she had a computer case with some parts in it- possibly my old computer, but then she was like, see my stereo? And she had parts from the one that (in my dream) Chris built for me. I was like, well, you'll need these other parts like the ones that I have (the stereo that Chris really did build for me), and you should probably get old/dumpstered ones so they work together right.

So then I was doing something or other and I needed Valerie's help. I called her and she came right over (someone was watching her kids). It was nice to hang out. Then she went out of the room to work on something else, and Allison (note that she left her kids at home) and I colored on the door with crayons. (?!)

I noticed myself admiring the beautiful room, and the bathroom that Tuan had redone. I was hanging out with Anna and Tuan, and Bonita (but that wasn't her), another guy who was living there (Jeremy?), and Christine's presence was in there, but not Christine herself. It was really chill and I was really enjoying myself. At some point Tuan took a shower.

This is all very interesting cuz the common rooms in that house in real life were dark as hell. And the downstairs where we were hanging out seemed to be a basement below the whole house (no such thing).

Then I went outside. The giant compost bin that had become a worm bin had been replaced by a smaller bin on top of a bucket. I looked around the garden, and realized that the first half of the lot was a river of greywater beds. It was so beautiful- the water was flowing really fast- except that there were all these crappy little annual flowers planted between the beds. The water was flowing, and my cat was there, trying to catch fish (or bugs from the surface of the water- I didn't see any fish). Then she jumped like 2 feet in the air to catch some kind of bug or butterfly or something. She was so cute and happy.

So I woke up even more assured that I should move to a place that has a bigger yard ;)

Monikat thinks that the cat and I were sharing a dream. How romantic. Before I went to sleep she bathed herself for like 1/2 an hour straight.
