Dream
I remember having a dream where my husband was in his bed and we had to figure out how to get through in and out. During that dream I saw a mouse hidden in a dark area where you couldn't see. I tried reaching for it but couldn't reach it. Both of my cats, Cookie and Nell Bell, were in my dream where Cookie just sat there and watched the mouse run across the house instead of trying to catch it. I then saw a rat come through and the rat was wet, soaking wet as if it came from tunnels or outside from rain. It came outside and I saw Nell Bell trying to catch it. She ran all around the house chasing it trying to grab hold of it and she finally caught it outside on this patio. She bit down hard on the rat trying to kill it. The rat got out of her mouth and then disappeared. The mouse also disappeared out of sight, too. I then walked back inside the house and my husband was taking care of our kids, and I remember having a conversation with my husband about my mother and his dad about the divorce that they were going to get. My husband's dad was ignoring and dismissing everything that my mother was trying to ask or tell him. She was constantly asking for favors and for financial help in a lot of matters. And it seemed like my husband's dad did not want to hear any of it. Therefore, it made my mother feel dismissed, unheard, and invalidated. I could sympathize with my mother about being dismissed and invalidated, but I also could understand my husband's dad's feelings about my mother taking constant advantage of him and the disrespect she gives him on a regular basis. In some cases, it felt like me and my husband were still in between the drama of mey mother and his dad. Even though, in my waking life, we have expressed our feelings to be left out of it. This is when I wake up.
