Two Thieves in the Light
Posted in Mixed Bag and tagged with Dreams on October 30, 2007My dreams are full of adventures, often of the illegal kind. I’m thinking that this is spurred by my preference for thief movies as well as my stuffy student lifestyle.
Last night’s dream involved my roommate, Dori, and I as thieves. We were breaking into a house in broad daylight to get $200 that we knew was there. I’m not sure what the significance of the $200 was, but in my dream we were morally justified in taking it. I also remember realizing that this wasn’t even a good take as I could have easily earned the money legally in a short time.
The thing is, we were horrible thieves. We didn’t use gloves, so I left a good set of fingerprints on the door handle. Since it was daylight, an acquaintance saw us. We walked all the way home, even though we had left our car at the house we robbed (Dori, that’s not the kind of walk I was talking about). When we got home, the lady who had saw us left us a message on our answering machine that just had a Whitney Houston song on it. We knew that we were caught.
Maybe I need more real adventure in my life, or at least need to pick up a good adventure book, who knows. Do you have any recurring themes in your dreams?

Hi, girl! Thanks for stopping by! Your dream has me laughing. Are you sure you don’t have something deep down you are worried might get found out? :)
I had a recurring dream as a kid that was HORRIBLE… the devil was coming in my grandparent’s house and killing people. Even typing that brings all that back. My mom prayed over me (which was rare) and I never had them again! Other than that, now the themes seem to be on not getting everything done! My story in real life as well.
Blessing to you!

When I told this dream to Dori, I love that her reaction was “If we ever decide to be thieves, we would be better than that.” I totally agree. Good thing neither of us has that desire!
