ACCOUNT OF MY DAYS
Sequence: 5
DREAMED OF MY EX-WIFE
We were selling a house back to the couple we had bought it from.
In my dream also we had not seen each other for years. We had
taken good care of the house but made few improvements during
our time in it. The other couple started to approach the subject
of money, cautious, not wanting to be taken advantage of.
I spoke for us (familiar). There were things I didn't want to
discuss, mostly about the oddity of our arrangement, how we were
not really together, but only trying to see how it worked out
now, after many years. I made the excuse to myself that she also
wished this to be our secret.
She still looked to be barely out of her teens, more beautiful
now that she was not troubled. She had been told she would not
need anti-psychotic drugs if she had daily psychiatric sessions.
I wanted to help her. I thought of several people whose names
I could give her. Once again, it seemed that my good behavior
and knowledge could save everything. I didn't question my inten-
tions.
In my next dream my old friend Joe and I were riding together
in a badly-driven car towards St. Louis. I tried to explain it
all to him while bracing myself for a crash. When I woke it was
the last edge of summer. The wild plants have set hard nutritious
kernals, and the birds stay away from the seed I put out daily.
Food is plentiful and the hard weather has not come.
