THE DREAM I had an unusual bed dream. It was about a university with many beds.....but not bedroom.....it was like a furniture showroom. It was striking that there were no bedrooms. In the dream my husband and I travelled out of state because we had to go to a medical appointment. That was the purpose of the trip. We are going to stay at a college that I once attended....instead of a hotel....because I could stay for free at the college. I was going to "sneak" my husband in to save money. When I got there I realized that all the beds were singles. That was totally bad because my husband and I can't even get a good nights sleep in a double bed. I didn't know what to do. Then the doctor's office called me to take an intake and I couldn't remember any of the important information that I had to tell them. After the call I continued to search for a bed. I didn't give up but I knew it was hopeless because the beds were too small and too close together and there was no privacy. I felt helpless because my husband is a totally picky sleeper and I don't know why I ever thought this plan would work in the first place. Towards the end of the dream I begin to find double beds that are also a bit more private in this "furniture showroom" layout of a college dorm. By this time I was just relieved to find a bed that would work for him. I didn't even care if it was a double any more. The problem then is that they are going like hotcakes and I can't seem to reserve one and even if I do get one, I know I have nothing to put down to reserve it and/or no way of getting in contact with my husband so that he can find me in the large college building. I wake up due to noise in the house.

GUESSWORK The dreamers husband had a medical problem and was due to see a doctor in few weeks. Her husband was also a ridiculously picky sleeper. The day before he admitted a weakness to the dreamer.
