Dream
In waking life, as I've gotten older, I have become more rebellious against systems that micromanage us. This includes refusing to participate in the small stresses and worries of unnecessary paperwork or endless appointments.
In my dream, I had recieved an "official"-looking letter from some library or archive and, uninterested in engaging, had returned to sender. Months later it had returned to me, with various other addresses stamped or handwritten across it to show it had been on some journey throigh different hands, and some sort of message handwritten on the outside of the envelope that made it clear that it was important. I opened it and inside was a letter letting me know that something very valuable had been found belonging to me, and that it showed strong clues to my family having been related to some very old, very powerful mob or mafia family. This was all discovered because of another package I had "returned" a while before this letter - some strange broken piece of plastic or metal that looked like a part of machinery. I suddenly remembered this, and remembered how I had laughingly returned that to the archives or library as "trash", laughing at why anyone would send me junk and not wanting to participate in this "foolishness" that archival people get so stressed about.
Now I was intrigued, and read the letter more closely. It had instructions to go to some location to recieve what was mine.
When I got there, it was a private home, just a regular suburban house of an older couple, and I was there to meet the husband, an old man who did restorations for the archives. His family - grown kids and grandkids - were around, in and out view, it was a bit chaotic, but he took me aside into the garden. And what he had for me was a breathtakingly stunning old motorbike, exquisitely hand rebuilt around that broken part that I had sent back earlier. This man had spent all that time painstakingly rebuilding the motorbike around that part, and he said it was rightfully mine if I wanted it. I was ecstatic. He asked me to take a seat at an outdoor table, old and a bit shabby, and prepared the space for me. I was so happy with the motorbike, awed that this item, and most interestingly, the new powerful family heritage was mine, I was actually more interested in the family connection. Then he began to explain that. of course, he had restored the motorbike at great personal expense. I understood, that of course I couldn't just take the bike, I had to reimburse him for the costs he'd incrued. But it had been a labour of love for him, restorations for the archives were his passion, so he explained that if I didn't want the bike, I wouldn't owe him anything for this time and labour of course, he would keep it and care for it. I considered this, a little bit deflated because it was so beautiful, and in my favourite colours, but also knowing I would probably not ride it, So, knowing nothing about motorbikes, it may just become a dusty burden for me to upkeep. I was truly more interested in my newfound powerful crime family connection and what that would mean for me in the doors it was about to open up for me. I knew for a fact that my life had changed forever now, and I was so excited about that. So I was about to agree with him when I woke up
