Dream
We were in amusement park setting for the rehearsal dinner of my niece Alex‘s wedding vow reenactment. She had never had a wedding as her and Jay had eloped. Some of our immediate family including mom, dad, brother Mark and his wife Kelli, his sons Mike and David stayed overnight in a common hotel area with 8 double beds. After the dinner I went to sleep in the farthest bed from the door. I wanted to be ready for the wedding the next day. Mom and dad were near to me. Alex and Jay were staying in a different room.
Mark, Kelli, Michel and David continue to party after everyone else went to bed. At some point, Kelli came back to the room and went to sleep.
around 4 o’clock in the morning, we could hear things getting really loud outside of the room. Apparently, my brother and his sons drank so much and got so obnoxious that they got into a fight. They destroyed the bar area and were kicked out.
they came back into the room and passed out. Marc was in his underwear and was flopping around all over the place saying it was too loud. I told him to come on the bed on the other side of the wall so that he wouldn’t hear the activity from the doors. After flopping through three beds, he finally ended up on the floor and passed out. During that time he kept pulling in his underwear saying it was too tight. Michel and David tried to me, but they were slurring and drunk. I told him to go to sleep. Michael lurched over to the bathroom and started having the runs and puking. David finally passed out.
At this point I decided I had had enough and I wanted to leave. I got my stuff together and walked out of the room. I could see the destruction that they had done. I didn’t have a car because I had driven with my mom. So I sat outside, waiting for morning to come.
When I was light in the sky, Alex and Jay came down. They had no idea what had been going on and we’re preparing to go to the wedding. I said I just wanted to leave. Alex said well we all have hair appointments so you just need to wait until we get that done. I said no I’m just going to have my sister do my hair. She knows how to do my hair as she’s been doing it for the last 20 years and is the best hairdresser I know. But I couldn’t leave because I didn’t have a car. I kept trying to look for my car keys, thinking that I had driven here wishing that I had driven here, but the funny part was the car. I was thinking I had driven was the Pontiac T 1000 I had when I was a kid of 16.
Meanwhile, back in the room, everybody is realizing how bad the damage was. Hotel management said they were banned from the hotel and the amusement park and that they owed thousands of dollars and damage. Kelli was sitting on the floor reading everything and trying to determine who would pay what. I just wanted to leave and I sat in a chair outside the hotel now and it started sliding down the hill. I was at the end of the hill at the freeway and it started to snow. I sat there for a long time because I didn’t have a car to get on the freeway and I didn’t have a means to leave. Another person slid down the hill on their chair. She asked if I was OK. I said I was just fed up with it all.
I then realized that I didn’t have my own purse. I thought it was my mom‘s purse, but then my friend Annette, who is dating my late husband’s brother Dennis came down the hill to tell me that I had her purse. I have been trying to find keys and my phone in the wrong purse. And then realized my phone was in my back pocket but I had somehow put it in Annette’s purse and now she had three phones in her purse. I could’ve called for a ride had I realized that I had a phone. Annette got me to come back up to the hotel with her.
it was chaos when I got back to the rooms. Kelli and my mom were in tears. I just kept saying to my mom let’s go. We have to get out of here. Alex was concerned that people wouldn’t be able to make it to the wedding. She was crying and trying to give gifts out to the people that were supposed to be standing up in the wedding. She was sitting on a ramp like area and the gifts weren’t able to be wrapped because of all of the drama that it happened the night before. I was so angry with my brother and nephews. I was also angry with my mom because she wouldn’t let us leave. my dad was actually trying to remain calm and care for everybody.
my brother was trying to apologize to me. I told him that I was done and he needed to get treatment for alcoholism. I said you become mean you’re not the person that our mother raised. I don’t understand how you could do this to your own daughter. He said come on Lee you know, I didn’t mean it. I told him I would not be anywhere where he is any longer. I told him that if he didn’t get treatment, he was not welcome in my home and if he was going to be somewhere, I would not be there he kept following me trying to make mechange my mind. I turned and looked at it with him with the coldest eyes, and I said, do you see these eyes they are not taking it anymore. As he looked in my eyes, he realized that I was serious and then I woke up.
