i had a dream that i made it to northwestern

Posted on November 12, 2003

i checked in to my new dorm room….

the only problem is that i made a deal for a two bedroom apartment.
i was stuck in a dorm room with 6 bunk beds. 11 other people were living with me. The worst part was that these 11 students were undergrads.

i tried to settle in and relax. i couldn’t. i couldn’t go through all that drama that an undergrad goes through – living wildly – away from home. the hormones. the chaos.

so i marched myself back to the housing office. i demanded my room – the one i put a reservation deposit on. sarah was working in that office. the same sarah from rha. i cringed when she recognized me. she said she would help me because of my berkeley connection. she walked with me to my real room. she told me that if i stuck around rha – i could have made something myself. she sounded really disappointed in me.

i was relieved when i stepped into my new room. i had it all to myself – but there were two beds in it.

anybody knows what this means?

    I had a similar dream a couple months ago! I dreamt I’d made it into grad school and for some reason, got stuck (with my husband no less) in a multiple bed room! And one of our roommates was my husband’s stinkiest (literally, he has a friend with a B.O. issue) friends! The rest were undergrads. I asked for a transfer, and still got a room with 3 beds — one for me and my husband, the other for his stinky friend, and another yet to be determined.

    My guess is as good as yours, wrt meaning. Maybe just anxiety and excitement about a new phase in life, new boundaries!
