Had an intense dream. Was with mum at a renaissance festival and then planed to meet her and my sister in Scranton. Why Scranton? Have no idea and why was a walking there? Was very anxious to get there. No idea what dreams mean but hoo boy they can be interesting 🤔.

As I said I’m quite irritated today. Mum’s been on my last nerve all day. Bugging me to go water dead plants. It’s October plants die here this time of year, so I finally said some choice words and went and watered them. Greatly relieved mum. Then we talked about how the trees are all changing colors and falling. She admitted the plants are dead. Oh well. I’ll throw the two worse one out Thursday when the garbage goes out. Not having to look at the vines might relieve mum’s anxiety.
I agree with you on dreams, Nammu. Though I rarely remember them, and find some of mine without much meaning, I have had some that were enlightening and restorative. Once I had one that pulled me out of a deep long depression. It was kind of amazing!

Scranton (PA) is among the city names that I've found coolest. It's up there with Poughkeepsie, NY. One time my husband and I were in Poughkeepsie and asked a waitress if people there often "pick their feet". She had no idea what we were talking about. That is a famous line from the movie The French Connection, a favorite movie of Hubby.

Once when I was inpatient getting ECT, I had a bully-like roommate (I'm not calling your mom one, though). She kept ordering me to clean the shower stall of my "ECT gel" (a gel that's put on one's head when getting the treatment). There was no such gel there, but I figured I might as well just pretend to clean it. Wasn't in any mood to be fighting over it.
