N-E-G-L-E-C-T Find Out What It Means To Me

Last Nites Dream:

I had a small apartment that from the looks of things, I wasn't at very much. And for some reason, I was technically still living with an ex (SHEESH! I swear I dream about exes all the time!) because just as I was pulling up so was he. He hadn't been there for a while either. There were moldy, not merely dirty, dishes piled to the ceiling and laundry that desperately needed to be done, clothes strewn all over. And yes, this time it was VERY awkward, and I don't think I said two words to him the whole time. I had with me a relative's dog, a lively pit bull and the apartment looked vaguely like my grandparents old house.

The Nitemare:

As if the above weren't enough, as I entered the place, I suddenly remembered a kitten I had living there. Yes, I found it but it was emaciated and mewing weakly in a corner. I was horrified and quickly gave it some food and water, praying that that would be enough.

The Analysis:

I think that this dream was all about NEGLECT. I actually do neglect my housework. No, we don't live in the kind of filth I dreamed about, but I could do better. The only reason for that particular ex being there that I can think of is that I felt that he neglected me. The relative's dog? I feel like they neglect HIM. The grandparents house... I know I'm neglectful in my relationship with them and need to visit them more. But the kitten? Sigh... I DON'T neglect my animals this much I do know, but you know what? I neglect my own health a lot. Don't take my medicine like I'm supposed to, drink, smoke, and am about 10 pounds overweight, etc.

Wow. What an INSIGHTFUL dream!
