I had the strangest dream last night. It was my wedding day (which already occurred 39 days ago) and my parents were like two giant anchors. The wedding was scheduled for 1pm (even though we actually got married at 3pm) and I was hanging around waiting for my parents to get back from somewhere? so we could get to the church for the wedding. They didn't show up until almost 12:30pm and then I don't even think we got to the church until like 2pm. I have no idea what this dream was about, but the startling thing was that they didn't think there was a problem with any of this! Eventually I called Kate (my maid of honor) who told me that several of the guests had already left because they had other things to do. Sadly, I woke up before knowing whether or not the wedding ever took place, although the last thing I remember is my parents coming down in an elevator still dressed in their casual clothes and my mom asking some really stupid, totally unrelated question. I was outraged by their lack of concern yet could not give a voice to this outrage. I just stared at them dumbfoundingly as though I couldn't believe this was even happening. I am very big into dream analysis, analyzing in my own head, mind you, there is nothing scholarly or professional about this (although I did take a class at SCSU called 'Psychology of Sleeping and Dreaming', but that was 15 years ago). So, I really just can't figure this one out. Obviously the wedding has already taken place and everything ran according to schedule and my parents were the efficient, responsible people they always are. Perhaps I feel I owe an apology to some of my guests for STILL not getting a thank you to them? Or could this be a sign of what I'll be like someday when my own child gets married due to my lack of planning, organization or seeming concern about the mess my life is in so many ways? I just don't get it at all! Does it mean that something should have been done differently with my wedding (perhaps in a church that actually HAS an elevator?)? In any case, I'm not that concerned about the dream, just puzzled to say the least. It was very odd, but hopefully not very telling of the future! I think I'll try to clean a few things up just in case it was!
