I met my future self in a dream the other night.
I went to visit her.
The moment I stepped upon the porch,
of her tiny home,
the door was opened wide
and I was greeted with warmth and love.
She was a lovely woman with an artist’s flair.
I entered her home to find quaint furnishings
where everything was neat and tidy.
There was even a comfy bed
wrapped in the latest Laura Ashley style.
It suited her.
Even her teeny bathroom felt just right.
We had a delightful visit.
I was sorry when I had to depart
for, you see,
my car was parked
in a tow-away zone after 4.
It was 4:05.
And yes, my Toyota was gone.

that is a pretty tame dream actually comparatively...the tow away zone though...nice.
I hate when reality intrudes upon a good dream.
Oh no...and it started so pleasantly!
Oh my! :o
Where was I? Was I departed? Or were we divorced?
I loved the tow-away. Just meant you got to stay longer.
I sometimes have dreams where I'm skinny again...but I've never had one where my house was clean ;-)
Even in your dreams, the tow-away zone haunts you. Guess you should start walking now! Move to the mountains and buy a cottage :)
Joy and more joy,
Susan
I'm with Pelican Joe....where was HE in all of this? ;)
Joe, maybe this tiny little house couldn't fit two, so you live in the little shed in the back yard?
~hl~
Oh no! I loved how you started this piece.
B xx
Oh no! You can't kick your future self out... how could you live with yourself if you did that?!
nice dream.... ;)
Joe...in dreams when one is dreaming of a "house" it is representative of their self awareness. Since I am not you, but me, it makes sense that only I was in this dream. Silly, silly man...it's not always about you! ;-)
Did your future self say if the Panthers had ever improved from their dismal 2010 season?
Sucks you got towed. At least you had a good visit.
Wonderful poem and dream, Polly! Maybe you can go back to the dream and have the Toyota replaced with a Mercedes :-)
Perfect up until your car got towed! I never seem to remember good dreams, just the scary or disturbing ones.
