Entry from 11/26/00
I had a very long dream about my life. In this dream, Mom and Dad got married and Chudo and I were there, but Seri and Aiko were not. The overall theme was about how people change/show their true colors after getting married. Dad was a nice, “normal” person with Mom prior to getting married, and then turned into a very selfish, arrogant, inconsiderate man after getting married. Mom was very sad at first, and later she decided that things were going too far.
We lived in Japan in a Japanese-style house with a large, grass-covered yard. It was either breakfast or lunchtime. Mom, Chudo, and I started to eat our meal in a room, which opened to the yard. The view was great. The atmosphere was pleasant and quiet/peaceful. Dad set things up in the middle of the yard, so he could eat his meal “picnic” style. He put down two tatamis on the grass, covered it with a dark gray tarp, and placed a blanket on top of that. He also had 4 large blocks of something (wood?) on top of the blanket, which he used as a table to put his meal on.
Chudo asked Dad what was under the tarp. Dad replied, “tatami.” Chudo told that the moisture from the grass and the ground were not good for the tatami. Dad was not concerned. Chudo said more forcefully this time, that the tatamis should go on top of the tarp, not under it. Dad ignored Chudo and continued to eat. Chudo got mad and walked up to Dad and his setup. He forcefully rearranged things so that the tarp was on the grass, the 4 blocks were on top of that, the tatamis rested on top of the blocks, and the blanket covered the tatamis. Dad’s meal was placed on the blanket.
