I think more and more that this topic should have it's own forum...Dreams are always fascinating to me.

I'll keep this short and simple, it was a pretty short dream.

I got a whopping two hours sleep last night. But had dreams every time I dozed off. One was of my Sharks beating MJ's Flyers in the Stanley Cup playoffs (she's thinking, "Oh yeah, he was definitely dreaming..."). The other was one I've had before, and I've often wondered what significance it holds for me.

I've finished designing and having built my dream home. Of course it has a nearly Olympic size swimming pool in a massive back yard. In my dream I've built my new home in the same place that I live now. So, I have a housewarming party and apparently invite all my family, and every person that lives in my neighborhood as they all show up with invitations in my handwriting. I end up with several hundred guests at the party. All thru it, I'm very detatched from everyone there except for my nephew and my brother in law. We three talk all thru my dream. I walk around listening to my family and neighbors talking about how surprised they all were to be invited because I am normally so stand-offish and anti-social. My nephew and bro look at me after every comment and say things like, "That's true you know". This is the gist of the dream, and everything takes place at poolside.

The dream has happened 4 or 5 times before, and always disturbs me. I've always considered myself to be an outgoing person, even if it causes anxiety, I try to be social. I always make people as comfortable as possible in my home. If I try to talk to someone and they make it clear that they don't want the interaction, I'll back of. But doesn't everyone do that? This dream is so opposite of the way I feel that I really am. And does the pool/water have any meaning?

Anybody care to psychoanalyse me? I'd really be interested in hearing any ideas of what you might think this is all about. I'm pretty much clueless...

TIA,
