In this dream, my obtrusive US landlady has achieved her ambition of inviting herself back home with me. We’re en route to my house and stop to eat at a rather barren restaurant, without tables, chairs or patrons other than us but simply a salad bar. At this point she starts becoming more obtrusive, attempting to put her arm around my waist. I move my arm to forcefully deflect hers. Then she reaches out to touch my face and I strike her. At that, she starts behaving politely again. We continue on to my house, where my family is waiting for me. We’re going somewhere and my landlady invites herself along, piling into a car along with the rest of us. When my grandfather emerges from the house, it turns out he can’t fit into the car because my landlady takes up too much space. I’m very distressed at this.
Same date, different dream: I am in my constant dream companion, the automobile. I’m driving very slowly and cautiously up a narrow, winding, spiral-shaped ramp without any sort of railing. It is slow going, and the difficulty is compounded by my tendency to slip into unconsciousness. I don’t know if I’m ill or narcoleptic, but at several points my vision blacks out and when I return to consciousness seemingly a moment later, my vehicle is precariously positioned and it takes the most cautious maneuveurs to continue. At several points I have the sense that I have the option of getting off the ramp and onto a connected building but each time I resolve to press ahead with my slow, parlous ascent.
