It is time to get ready, time to go somewhere special, dress special, but what to wear? I ask my husband, what’s the dress code? He shrugs, says I dunno. We search for the invitation, surely that will list the dress code. Hurry! We have to hurry! This is important. The invitation says “dressy” – how vague. I need something to wear, something new, it must be new. Suddenly, I’m in a department store, looking at dresses, it’s nice in here. Wait, I CANNOT buy something new. I am looking in my closet – lo and behold! A lovely LBD from years and years ago, it’s Nanette Lepore, that will do. Add a beautiful new necklace and some fabulous new shoes (which magically appear, this is a dream after all). Voila! I love how I look and am very happy.
I swear, this is my dream. I don’t know what the event was or where. There was a sense of importance, urgency, but I don’t know why. I do own that dress and have had it for years. This dream was several days ago, and with time comes greater reflection and understanding. I was feeling anxious still, but am no longer. I have comfort with not buying anything new. For now.
What dreams have you had lately?

It’s funny you mention your dream… About 4 days ago I actually had my FIRST dream about clothing and shopping since beginning TGAAD. Upon waking, I remember thinking, “ooh, I’ll have to remember this so I can blog about it.” Alas, as happens with many of my dreams, I began forgetting it within minutes of awakening… My dreams are like vivid watercolor paintings left out in the rain… they begin to dissolve before my very eyes. Try as I may, I simply can’t commit them to memory. Anyway, I know my dream involved shopping for clothing, and lots of hangers full of colorful pieces of apparel at great prices… other than that, I’ve lost it all! Figures… I can’t shop in real life AND I can’t even remember a good DREAM about shopping!
