The theme for today's dreams must have been \"Embarrassment.\"

In one of the dreams, I climbed a tall tree with light bark and no leaves. There was no snow on the ground, but it must have been winter. I intended to have a cozy outdoor nap on the tree branches. Alas, soon there were some people coming by, and they saw me. They were probably laughing and making comments like \"Look! What a weird homeless guy!\" They started to take photos. I tried to hide my face. I tried to pretend I was asleep or too groggy to be bothered, that I didn't see them or didn't care.

In another dream, I woke up in the middle of the day and immediately ordered some food through an app on my phone. This seemed to have stirred some commotion in the living room. I left my bedroom and went there. There was some unfamiliar lad there. His right arm was completely missing. He was dressing up, as if getting ready to head out. I had no idea why he was there, but I had a clue where he was going.

\"Are you my delivery by any chance?\" I asked. He confirmed he was going to bring me my food.

Then he said something like, \"Working night shifts, huh?\" He was commenting on my late emergence from the slumber.

\"No. I am currently... unemployed,\" I replied.

Some moment later, he directed his next question at my mother, who was also in the living room: \"So y'all live off the salary of the father of the family, right?\"

\"Well, yeah,\" she answered rather absent-mindedly while looking at her phone. But the corners of her lips were drooping downward. Maybe it was her default face, maybe she wanted us to think it was her default face, or maybe she was visually vexed by the inquiry, I couldn't tell exactly.

\"Well, I don't,\" I made a pathetic attempt to save myself. \"I worked for some years before,\" I explained.

We were both embarrassed. We were both able-bodied adults, who were not crazy rich. And yet not only did we not work, but we could not even make a short trip to the restaurant to bring our own food. Instead, we spent whatever money we had to make a cripple run petty errands for us.

My family members still appear in my dreams way too often, even though I haven't seen them for a long time.<\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
