For a few years now I keep having this dream every now and then that I discover another area in my flat that I was not aware of. Sometimes it’s just one more bedroom that needs a lot of work, at other times it’s a massive lounge and a swimming pool (that wod be nice, wouldn’t it?).

The entrance to that area is not obstructed in any way and it’s never revealed in the dream how I actually found it and why I couldn’t see it before.

A few times I have a different version of that dream: that when I bought my flat I also bought one more, somewhere outside of Swindon, that I rented out to a married couple and they pay me rent every month but I somehow forget the entire thing and one day it comes back to me and I decide to go there and see how it looks like. It always feels a bit strange at first because how could I forget about such an important thing but then that feeling gets replaced by feeling of content: I have two flats, not just one, and I’m a landlady. Life is better than expected.

Last night the dream revealed to me a single bedroom in need of work. Old window and rotten floorboards didn’t look very encouraging, I almost forgot to be happy that I found that extra space and instead I was focused on the work that it needed doing, now, when I don’t have a job.

I certainly prefer the version when I find a swimming pool.

I wonder whether those dreams mean anything. It seems to me that the explanation should be that there’s something going on around me that I’m not aware of and it’s mostly a good thing. But then, what it could be?

I try to remember whether I had those dreams as well when I worked for Home Group. At the time certainly something was going on around me that I was not aware of, but it wasn’t a nice thing at all. I said it’s been a few years since I keep having those dreams and I dropped my employment tribunal claim at the end of 2017, but I really don’t remember when those dreams started.
