Last night I dreamt I was on some kind of nearby holiday island here in Sweden. It was evening and most people seemed to be relaxing and doing vacation stuff: sitting around on their verandas, walking down along the shore, drinking wine etc. I was walking around with one of my female colleagues; the professor of gender and law studies at the University and we were chit chatting about holiday houses. We went down to the sea and I sat myself down among some women who were talking among themselves and sipping wine. I sat with my back turned to one of the women and when I looked over my shoulder, I was all perplex because it was my mother: "-But it's you? What are you doing here?" It turned out that she was there with her girlfriends, just enjoying herself. My mother and the professor started talking about holiday houses abroad and my mother said that we were all going to our house on Crete (Greece) but that it was so small that we would have to rent extra flats too. I then asked my mother: "But what about the big house then? Why cannot we live there, is it let out?" She nodded: "It is let out to HIM all year." Then all of a sudden one of my female friends showed up - a women I normally go sailing with in awake life. I asked what she was doing there and why she was not with her two small children, and she answered: "We could only get two days free, so I thought I might just come out to the island on my own and get some sun. We are not going on any holiday".

The atmosphere in the dream was contemplative, slow and it was set at dusk a summer day. It was warm. The focus was still set on going away to travel, thus all the talk about holiday homes far away. The point is that we do not have a house on Crete; neither large nor small. We are only three members of my family so I don't understand why such a place would be too small? Also, as an adult I don't think that I would ever go on holiday with my parents in awake life. I don't think I saw one man in the entire dream, it was all about women and travel and talk in low voices?
