The Dream I Had Last Night & A Little Girl Named Refrigerator




I am in a dormitory like room. There are other adults I don't know and I am sitting on a thin bunk style bed with crisp white sheets and a think pink blanket.

A little girl approaches me. She looks to be around seven. 

What is your name?" I ask her.

"Refrigerator," she says. She does a silly happy twirl and asks me, "Do you want to play?"

"No, Refrigerator. I have to find my passport and plane ticket because I'm already late to catch the train to the airport." I hear myself and I panic. Do I even know where anything is? 

I see a large canvas suitcase at the end of my bed and find my passport and paperwork in the first pouch I look in.

I head for the door and Refrigerator waves goodbye to me. I wave back.

When I wake up, I realize that in the thirty plus years I have had this familiar recurring anxious dream that I am  lost and I have no idea where to  find my tickets or passport, for the first fricking time EVER, I've found them on the first try. Right there in my suitcase pouch. 

Is it possible I'm no longer lost? 

Or maybe that's what happens if you meet a little twirly girl named Refrigerator. 

Hee hee

  1. The little girl represents creative play and the fact that she is named Refrigerator means comfort to you.(As in food in the fridge.) With creativity and comfort in your life, you are able to think clearly and find what you need. Any questions? My bill is in the mail.

  4. OK, so Refrigerator is one cool little chick. The kind that would probably like hanging out with you.

    Maybe, after 30 years, you will have time to play with her. Since she is you, in your dream. So, enjoy yourself. And the Refrigerator.

    My bill (for this alternate interpretation) is also in the mail. You can choose which interpretation you like, and pay that bill. Only makes sense.

    1. Bear, I am going to play and eat at the same time. I am going to pay the lowest bill. Did you already mail yours? Is it for more than $ 3?

      :-)

  5. To hell with the bills and interpretations, you found your passport skip the country now that you can duck out. Happy sailing.

    1. Mark, sailing???

      I can't add sailing to the train and the airport!
      It would be pushing my luck.

      But you're right about Kay and bear's bills. I could use the money for pizza....

  6. You are no longer lost. You are here.

    I like Kay's interpretation. Makes sense to me. If it were my reoccurring dream, the little girl's name would be Oven. Cookies...yum.

  7. Actually, I'm going to make this all about (me and you) because we call each other silly names.

    Right Umbrella?

  8. Interesting. Maybe in the next dream of this kind you will be on the plane.
    A dream I have had over the years is a school dream, I am always lost and can never find my class.
    Grin right back at you. xoxo
