Dream a Little Dream

In continuation, I had yet another unpleasant dream last night:

I am at the agency I do my internship at, only it is a large house. I sign my name out on the name board as my supervisor comes down the stairs. I am stressed about something, and ready to get out of the building. As I walk out my supervisor says my friend J's boyfriend, M, called. She asks me to talk to him. Then suddenly J is there in the window, doing her hair. Then I am telling someone outside about M. I tell them that he is "quirky."

Whether this was part of the same dream, or after, or before, I do not know. Dreams are strange that way.

I get an e-mail from the dean of my university. It is about graduation. It says something about making sure your family and guests are cordial and do not create conflict. Then I am on campus calling my aunt L. I tell her I got an e-mail saying our families must get along. L gets defensive and tells me this may be impossible with aunt J there as well. I tell her aunt J is not coming anymore. She is still offended and says she can't guarantee she will get along with everyone. I am surprised at aunt L's reaction. She is usually the calm and reasonable one. She is a counselor. She tells me she doesn't think she will come to my graduation either. I am crying, walking around campus, with sunglasses on. I pass V and S from my program. They look at me in a concerned way, but say nothing as I pass them. I continue walking, thinking: my aunts aren't coming, my dad isn't coming. Only my mom will be at graduation. Then I wake up to my mom opening the front door and I realize it was all a dream.
