In the past year, several people have told me that if you pay attention to the feelings in your dreams, it sometimes gives you a clue to what you're feeling and experiencing when you're awake, because your subconscious tries to continue processing and problem-solving when you're sleeping.
It's a pretty easy guess, then, what last night's dream was about.
I dreamed that I had ordered a custom-built house, and when it was done, my husband and I packed up all our stuff and drove over to the house to move in. Several local friends, some of whom are German, showed up to help us unload everything into the new house.
As we walked up to the house, I realized that the kitchen wasn’t finished — it had only three walls, and the fourth wall was open to the outside; also there was no roof. So it was like an outdoor kitchen.
“They didn’t finish the kitchen!” I said, upset.
“Yes, they did. This is the European style of kitchen,” said my German friend. “All the kitchens in Europe are this way.”
“But what about when it’s winter, and it’s cold and rainy?” I asked.
“Oh, we just plug in extra heaters and use umbrellas, it’s totally fine,” he said.
