Weird dream sensation this AM while listening to WPR. IRL I hear a noise that sounded like the next door neighbor's garage door being shut. This house is for sale and has been vacant since the beginning of the year, a sign of the slowing real estate economy (this house has had many owners, but never has it been empty). IRL I stay in bed and doze back into dreamland, but my surreal dreamself went to look out the window to see who it was. I see a man squeeze through the neighbor's fence and then stand in front of our garage door. He was white, bald, maybe a little older than me. He had a very large toolbox with him the size of a suitcase (but definitely a toolbox). Then he walked around to the side of our garage that faces the alley. Our alley turned into a busier street and people would drive by and stare at our garage...I figured they were staring at this man and he must be doing something odd to warrant staring. I also assumed that he squatted in our neighbor's garage every night and then left to go work in the morning. But I was wondering what he was doing by our garage. Was he also using our garage (storage shed, really...it was made for small cars back in the early part of the 20th century) for something? I decided I'd better go out and make sure our garage was padlocked. As I went outside, the exterior of my house changed to my parent's house, except naturally it was bigger than my parents' house. I don't know what happened to the man.

It's kind of weird, but that garage is so nice that a person could squat in it. Our garage (used only for storage) would be very uncomfortable - especially with all of the mice and insects that hang out in there...
Before the new garage next door was built there was a rotting old one there and it did have squaters living in or under it. There was a ground hog for a while and I think a 3 legged raccoon lived under it as a retirement home.
Hope the man wasn't too creepy.
