Melmar Soprano
This morning I had a dream that I was Meadow from the Sopranos. It was the middle of the night in the house I grew up at (not the show's house in Jersey). Tony came stumbling home. I didn't see him at first, I just heard him go into his bedroom to wake Carmela up. There was a lot of loud talking, banging and anxiety filled the air. I got out of my bed and walked down the hall to what was Tony's office. It's only illumination was from a street light shining thru the window. Tony wasn't in there but my eyes were drawn to his chair. There was a dark spot on it gleaming in the light. I realize it's blood and that Tony, my Dad, is either shot or stabbed. My stomach turns and the pulse in my neck throbs. Over my shoulder I hear him yell, "you have 2 minutes to grab anything you want then we HAVE TO GET THE HELL OUT." This means someone is coming to slaughter us.
I run down the stairs to the foyer frantically yelling I have to get my cat, help me find him I can't leave without my cat. I hear Tony yell back, "I don't care what you take but you have only 2 minutes to find him and then we're leaving." I then see him cross the hallway. I only see his profile as he switches rooms. He's wearing a button down shirt that is all wrinkled, untucked and dirty. I can tell his face is bruised, a little bloody and then I see the side of his rib cage is the source of all the blood in his chair upstairs.
I turn and run back upstairs, grabbed some sort of hamster travel case & put my hamster in it. Next to it was the cat carrier. I snatch that and run into the laundry room to find my cat sitting on a pile of landry. I try to grab him but he trots off before I get a hold of him. For a split second I thought I wouldn't be able to grab him and I'd have to leave him behind. But, he let me catch him and shove him in the carrier.
I look down at myself and realize that I'm barefoot in my PJs and the only things I grabbed were my hamster and cat. I panic. We're leaving the house and never coming back and I don't even have shoes on. I look over and see soem red flip flops. I slide them on. I don't hear anyone else in the house so I yell out how much time left do I have Dad?! I don't hear an answer so for some reason just assume I have time. I run back to my room grab a bag and just start shoving stuff in it from my dresser. Socks, bras, panties, more pjs, jeans, tshirts and a pair of gym shoes. I think I even grabbed my makeup bag and the hair dryer for some reason. I sling it over my shoulder pick up my pets and run to the garage. Tony, Carmela and AJ were waiting for me in a minivan. I guess I made it there just in time as they were about to leave without me.
Next I know we are at some place thats like a camp ground. It almost felt like this was a place that mafia people on the run hide out at for awhile to figure out their next move. There was a pool, it was warm out and people were just hanging around like it was a summer vacation. I walk over to the pool with my hamster & cat carriers. I think to myself I can't keep traveling with both pets, so I sort of just leave the hamster carrier by a family that had younger kids and seemed to be the most relaxed. I figured it would be a good home.
Next thing I know I have another pet. (this is gross) Its some sort of a worm and I'm carrying it in my mouth. Although it was shaped like an earthworm it wasn't one. It was a deep moss green 6" worm that when light hit it the skin kind of shimmered like a rainbow. I thought it was pretty. But again, I realize I can't keep it. So I find a nice patch of grass by a tree and let it slide out of my mouth to the ground. I get up and walk back to the car. Except the car isn't parked where it was originally. Its now in some parking garage next to this camp ground. I just start walking thru it, cat in hand, looking for our car. I find it but no one is in it. Oddly, I only worry a little about this. I assume they are off walking around the camp or it felt like there was a mall next to us so maybe they were shopping. It's only in the back of my head that I'm thinking well maybe they left me. So I just sit next to the car and wait for them to come back. End of dream.
Now the only thing I can think about after this dream is that if I was ever in a situation where I had a couple minutes to pack up some of my stuff, what would I really take? I know I'd still hunt for my cat but other then that, what? I'm also disappointed that this was all there was to this dream. Pets and packing. And why wasn't I more focused on the fact that my Dad was shot or stabbed and may die? Weird but then again you can't realluy explain dreams. But if you could I'd say it prob stems from the fact the season starts on Sunday.
