Filth, spiders, wasps, water and sex

What causes the mind to generate such oddities as last nights dreams? Why are certain people involved? What do they represent?

So, to find my friend Patty, a 70 something year old woman who plays classical piano and practices Yoga regularly and is part of our monday dinner group doing living in my old house in Sunnyvale?

I came to the house with two of my old housemates, Vincent and my Nephew Jacob. Somehow I was moving and needed help using Jacobs trailer. There was an air of tension as Vincent and Jake seemed to be doing all the work. I was puttering around no making any progress on anything. Feelings of exasperation and helplessness. Arrived at my old house and entered to find it teeming with dirt and filth. Patty slept on a fetid mattress in the corner on floor and I couldn;t believe my eyes. I began to start cleaning. 3 of the walls were Garage doors that I opened and then I brought in the hoses and started to spray out the filty mud and spiderwebs and shit. At one point I tried moving a large box in the garage and I was bitten by 3 spiders that traveled together in a triangle pattern. Their abdomens glowed off and on red and I knew that I had been poisoned. Someone gave me a translucent pill to help fight the venom and I could see that I had these bites all over my arms. I was slgihtly afraif but remained calm.

I succeeded in cleaning out this awful mess and one huge pile of rotting acorns and dead wasps. Some of the wasps were still alive and was trying to squish them when I became distracted by some previous tenants that came by. We started putting together blue plastic slides to play in the pool with. The house gleamed with a new cleanliness. There was an odd moment on a rooftop where I found a number of sexual toys, whips, vibrators, gels, condoms, and other things I was unfamilar with. I tried to crack the whip but was not successful.

I woke and looked at where I had bitten to make sure I was not actually being fed upon by some night crawling insect. I was intact.

This dream left me a bit anxious and itchy.

so much to read into this dream. i only wish i knew more about dreams and what they mean, but the triage of spiders was really interesting and, of course, the cleaning of a house could mean mental cleansing. i don't think it's necessarily the people in the dream but everything else. the acrons (seeds) and the whip that wouldn't crack...verrrry interesting. keep them coming...i love this blog!
