Tucker Lake

Tucker Lake

For the 4th, we spent the day with Paige & her family at Tucker Lake. It is a small lake, but the owners have outfitted it with all sorts of fun stuff: water slides of all sizes, swimming areas, rope swings, zip lines, paddle boats, canoes & kayaks, many picnic tables with grills, music playing all the time, silly contests for the kids. It was a lot of fun.

One strange and amusing (to me) thing happened. When we got there and paid our $9 per person to get in, the attendant asked us to pop the trunk. I thought she was looking for alcohol (no alcohol allowed). But after a very quick look, she closed it and said we could go. Brief conversation that followed:
Lance: “What were you looking for?”
Attendant: “…”
Lance: “Wait, were you looking for people?”
Attendant: *shrug* “You’d be surprised…”

I know what this dream means…

Category: Uncategorizedpodrey @ 3:47 pm

Last night i dreamed that me, lance & a chic whose blog i read (whom i don’t know personally and who has nothing to do with the people involved in the dream) were all hanging out one night. In the morning, we decided to go to breakfast with my family without wearing any clothes. My family was not pleased, and we had to go change before we could join them.

I have experienced the naked dream before in other situations about which i had anxiety. This one is obviously about my anxiety about my relationship with my parents. The tension between us on the religion issue has become even more heightened in the last week since an unfortunate accident and hospitalization of one of my cousins. Now every phone call has a lot of references to the lord and how it is a miracle she is alive. And by the way, your cousin belonged to the lord so if she had died she would have gone to heaven whereas if it had been you, and you died, you would go to hell .

I think the part of the dream where we decided to go naked is symbolic of my recent decision that i should get some talk therapy to help me figure out how to assert myself in this relationship. Every other time i’ve had this dream it’s because i’ve just forgotten my clothes.
