Laurel
Prolog: I had been awake for awhile around 3:00 am, and during this time I planned a letter to Laurel, regarding the little shrine to Sofia I had set up to commemorate her ordination as a priest in the Gnostic Christian Church, which I had learned of not from her but from an article on Wikipedia (see Obsession for details). In it I was to tell her that Sofia (a statuette from Sacred Source) did not speak to me, any more than she did. I wanted to take down the shrine and transfer it to her, and how this could be done. I then fell asleep, resulting in the recorded dream.
In this dream, at about 5:45 am, I was in the family home of persons I had obviously associated with. A young woman was present, whom I associated as "Laurel", though her appearance was much different than the real Laurel, with darker hair cut to above the shoulders with bangs across the front. Laurel kept her hair much longer and tied back. It had been a light brown, but was graying and she dyed it to its original color. The lady in the dream was much younger, and I presume so was I.
I was removing some items from a drawer and a high cupboard, a couple of small crystals in plastic bags, and two notebooks. The implication was I was leaving association with this household. I told "Laurel" I was taking these things of mine so they would not be a bother to her or her family.
Next scene I had gone to the door to leave. "Laurel" was there also and looked like she might break out in tears, though I couldn't see her face because she was looking down and her hair hid it. At this point, we might have embraced, or just said goodby, I do not know because at this point I had become partially awake and could interfered with the dream. In this state I appended several possible actions. One was that she asked to go with me, which I would have agreed to, but sarcastically presumed that once out the door I would not be able to find my car or my way home, as in so many other dreams.
I remained on the edge of the sleep for some time and reviewed the dream. Soon I had fallen asleep again and was partially awake when the phone rang at just before 8:00 am.
