Dream About Visiting Former Difficult Home For Dress Alteration

This dream was about

I dreamt that I needed to take a favourite, beautiful dress to a seamstress to have it altered. I had a favourite seamstress, who unfortunately lived a three-hour flight south, in another state, and who was living in the house I rented when I lived down there. I had been very unhappy in that house, I had suffered a lot of abuse and was terrorised there in real life. But the countryside was beautiful and so I was happy to travel that far for a perfect outcome. Next, I was sitting in the living room of that house, watching the seamstress and an older man negotiate the price of my dress alteration. He wrote it on a brown paper bag, the bag was for the dress to be posted back to me to my northern home address. He had negotiated a great price, but I had to stay for an hour or so in the seamstress's house and do some ironing for him (in real life I had actually taken in ironing while living in that house.) Then the old man left. So I began ironing and chatting happily with the seamstress and her elderly mother. I noticed many improvements and small renovations to the house, it was much prettier than when I had lived in it. It was very much a pretty old ladies house now, full of lace and pretty tiles, knickknacks and doilies, and more open rooms. They took me outside and showed me the much improved garden too, but pushed me around in a wheelbarrow so I wouldn't have to walk. I was really loving being back there, and had a positive feeling there now.
