Dream

I dreamed last night that Alex and I were in Mexico.... At first I think I was supposed to be living there, and I was showing Alex how close my house was, and how I could bike to her house from there, but after that bit it was clear that I was just vacationing. There was some confusion with Alex's house though, her mom had bought some kind of store, but the woman who sold it to her was actually only selling her an empty building, not the business, so she took away all the stock, and that was a problem. But then we started walking to the house, and it didn't look like Ajijic, but it did look like Mexico at least... And I kept looking at bathing suits along the way, because I wanted to go swimming in the pool, but for some reason I hadn't brought a suit. I didn't buy one, though, because I had no money (clearly my real life invading the dream, there). I thought of skinny dipping, but then we stopped off somewhere and invited some American guys home for dinner, and there went that idea! I don't know who the boys were, or why they were there really. Then suddenly Alex's sister was there, in the same way that Dawn just appeared on Buffy even though Buffy had never had a sister before, and the sister and Alex's mom were going to make us dinner so that we could go and have fun before we ate. So we took a walk, and we were very serious, rather than having fun, just sort of walking and talking, and then we sat down under a tree with one of the guys, and for some reason I knew that the guy was dating Alex, and I remember admitting that I was sad that she'd brought him there, because I wanted Mexico to be my place, and not just where she brought everybody she dated...which we then laughed about, because she lives there now. But then I realized that I wasn't talking to Alex anymore, it was Becky, and the guy was Becky's boyfriend (sorry Charlotte...lol). I suddenly knew that I'd been talking to Becky this whole time, and I was like, where did Alex wander off to? So I went off to find her, and finally did, and then we went inside to dinner, and by then it was just Alex and I and the two American guys, who didn't seem to be anyone's boyfriends anymore. I went to alert all the pets that it was dinnertime, and there were way more cats than there should have been, but they were all cute...and for some reason the dogs weren't there. Then we all sat down to dinner, but Alex's mom and sister weren't there anymore, and their chairs were gone, so we decided that they had already eaten, and were trying to set us up with the boys. Then my alarm went off.

This is dream is so clearly related to many things I was thinking about before I went to bed... my lack of money, Dawn on Buffy, the pictures of the house in Mexico now that it's mostly finished.... very interesting.
