cremainsIn a dream I had during an unemployment nap, the parents flew in to town. They were actually visiting my rich uncle, not me, but they wanted to say hi first. Their plane came in on Friday night but somehow H. knew a way to go to the airport and still keep Shabbat, and to bring them back to our place. This involved making a very strange kiddush.
When the parents arrived they were not too friendly and immediately started taking things. I didn't want to object because I wanted to be hospitable and respectful, but it made me secretly angry that they were taking all our food for Shabbat, despite the fact that they were going to visit this rich uncle who had everything to eat. They were taking mine so that they would have something to give him, "to be polite." By the end of the dream they had even taken the sheets off of our bed. What they left: two slices of lasagna which H. had made, and one cup of wine. I sat on the bare bed and cried. The parents told me not to be silly, and that I had so much. Then they kissed me on the cheek and left.
