Strange Dream
Last night I dreamt that I was trying to find an apartment with my old marketing professor. Now, just so you understand, there were no sexual overtones - we were just roommates. While we were viewing one apartment, he borrowed the phone to call my old landlord. The landlord told him he didn't have anything available and my professor convinced him to share the names of other landlords, good neighborhoods, and rental policy philosphies. It seems to me that we applied to the place on Erisson Street and were accepted. But shortly thereafter found another place we wanted more. We spent a lot of time hanging around the new place, just checking things out while the girls there were fighting and packing up. The place looked so familiar to me (although I've never seen an apartment like that before) that I'm pretty sure that Liz and I visited it in a previous dream. Somewhere in here, I wake up and when I pick up the dream where I left off, Liz is my roommate again. And she has decided that she doesn't want to live very close to WPI. She wants to live "10 miles" away but still be close. I used the bathroom and ended up having Liz in the room with me. We spend the rest of the dream wandering around the apartment, dodging boxes and stupid girls.
Analyze that.

Well, I think it has to do with you feeling disorganized and overwhelmed by your school work and feeling guilty for having fun and enjoying things. Let me give this a try. The professor symbolizes higher-learning. The cluttered apartment full of boxes symbolizes confusion and disorganization. You feel disorganized and overwhelmed with school. Being in the bathroom with Liz is sybolic of the enjoyment of frivolious things. Thats my 2 cent interpretation. Love JJ
