I dreamed my mom and I were living together and about to move. We were in the process of packing our home. I think we were moving to separate places. We were living in California. (Irl, I used to live there but we live in Georgia now, and we don’t actually live together irl either.) At one point I came home and noticed Mom had packed all her stuff and already moved it. It felt secretive, though idk why. We seemed to be getting along well. I was thinking about the move, and how I was nervous and sad to leave the area. I wondered about that. Do I really like it here? I realized I didn’t. Well I liked it, but I didn’t like it in a way that I would choose to live there. I tried to think of where I’d like to move. I thought of places that seemed super neat, but I realized they wouldn’t feel like home. I realized Hermosa Beach would feel like home. That may be where I should move. (In real life, I don’t really feel that way. But it may symbolize something. In real life, I lived in Redondo Beach. In this dream, that’s where Mom and I seem to be living even though it looks different. Manhattan Beach seemed neat in the dream but not like home. Hermosa Beach is mid road like cost and how nice it is compared to Manhattan Beach and Redondo Beach. All are nice, but Manhattan Beach is elegant, super nice. Maybe Hermosa feels more like me and feels more down home while still being really nice. Idk.) Back to the dream. In my new home I planned to set up some of my grandmother’s things, like in memory of her. I was sorting through her things and choosing between them. For some reason, my grandma had a sculpture of herself (not irl), like it was a sculpture of her head on a plain female body, like a Roman sculpture. I told mom I was considering setting it up in my new home. She looked at me like that would be tacky. Maybe she was right. But I certainly wanted to set some of her things out.
