i don't know what this means, but it's weird

i've been having a difficult time remembering my dreams, mostly
and the few times i could i just didn't share them, sorry
but it's not that i've given up writing to you or anything
but you know, things have been strange, and what-have-you
but this dream last night is just odd, so i thought i'd try

i was running some sort of meetings
for some sort of group
and we met
in a laundromat
it was nicer than your typical laundromat
it was carpeted for example

across the street
was this shop
where they invented
modifications to existing equipment, mostly
refrigerators and such

there was more to each of these sections
whole relationships with friends
things about business
i just can't remember them at all now

then i was in my attic room
where i lived for some of high school
and some of college
and now the meetings were there
but i was trying to sleep
and it was disturbing me

then i'm walking around the room
and i'm looking at the furniture
this is becoming a popular theme for me-- furniture
even when i can't remember what i dreamed
sometimes i know it was something to do with furniture

in the middle of the room there is a big round table
like they have in foyers of hotels, with flowers
lining the walls, are chests of drawers, china cabinets
all manner of large pieces, some of which match each other
but don't all go together, at least not as such
and i'm trying to decide what i can't live without
and what i can bear to part with

and then i'm looking at the table i like to use as a desk
it's danish modern, technically, nothing special
it used to be in my mom's kitchen when i was a little kid
it's light weight-- except for the glass top
i painted it like twenty years ago
and then my mom shows up
with the same table, again
with the original chairs that it came with
which i got rid of years ago
because, even after i re-padded and covered them
they were kinda ugly and still not comfortable
but these were worn, really really worn
and still the bright bright orange they came in
so then she started telling me where i needed to put
all this new furniture she was making me take
which had been exactly the opposite of what
i had been trying to do in the first place

and i was becoming frustrated and slightly frantic
and then i woke up
