My Subconscious, Is It Really A Place One Should Visit?

I was up at 2:55am this morning. I went back to bed after an hour. I should've made coffee and stayed up. I fell back to sleep and had the strangest dream. I was living in a big house with my ex-husband. In my dream I was delivered a ceiling fan and a coffin, both made by IKEA.

I removed the outer box of cardboard the coffin came in and marveled at the beautiful Teak wood box. I opened the lid and found a release button just beneath the lid handle. I pushed it with normal fingers (remember, this is a dream) the lid released from the hinges on the opposite side. I started pulling it toward me like those coffee tables that rise up to become giant TV trays. I continued to pull the surface toward me, and then 4 legs released from the underside lid of the "coffin" and began to straighten. It started to stick and I walked around to the other side of the now "table". I saw a release lever and instinctively pulled it. The top detached from the rest of the unit. The top of what was a coffin stood alone as a beautiful teak desk. A coffin only has one use, but a coffin that converted into a desk- that's just plain genius. Thank you IKEA!" I was so dumbfounded; I failed to notice ornate carvings that resembled hieroglyphics around the edge. I looked down at what would've been the bed of the coffin and saw the same ornate carvings but the bed was replaced by what appeared to be bookshelves.

In front of me stood a desk with one drawer in the center of the carvings. I opened it and found a laptop computer. I quickly went into a nearby closet and pulled out a comfortable office chair I had apparently been saving for such an occasion.

Then, my alarm went off and I woke up to three dogs giving me the stink eye. They wanted to go to the park, and they wanted to go now.

So, what was this post about? Do I think I’m going to die because I ordered a dual-use coffin from IKEA? Am I somehow willing the Universe to send me a new laptop and desk? Maybe, it’s not like I’d say no to it. Could it be an escape my subconscious is attempting to create because while I was up for an hour I watched the news and it was so packed with despair my brain wanted to make me feel better with a new desk and laptop? Maybe. What’s the deal with IKEA? I’ve never been to an IKEA store. Does this mean I need to go visit one? What became of the ceiling fan? Why do I even care? Anyone have comments or interpretations?

On a side note: My ex husband did appear in my dream but I have seemed to block that part out because I can’t remember what exactly happened. I just remember he was outside the house.

So, what’s new with you?
