In the dream, I had a house with a 2nd story bedroom. The empty bedroom, we once used for our children, but now they were gone, and so it was "available for rent".......
Downstairs, on the 1st level, there were around 6 young women, from a "Christian organization?".,who showed up to see this room for rent.
I was worried that although they appeared nice enough, that all those people coming in & out of the house would eventually cause consternation amongst my neighbors too.
So I' wasn't too keen on renting to them, and had my doubts.
Ralph however, thought it would be okay, the money I suppose, as in "A bird in hand, is worth two in the bush" philosophy, meaning, they wanted to rent, here & now so no more waiting.
As two of the girls ran upstairs to check it out....I thought to myself, I hadn't made the bed yet, so it would look unkempt.
They came back downstairs and said they liked the room, location, etc. but felt it was a bit small for all 6.........I said, the room was the largest we had.
One girl asked about a safe she saw on the bedroom floor, but I answered, "oh- that's my 10 year old daughter's toy safe, a plastic toy".....and thought it odd she mentioned it as "real".or a real safe.,open & empty.
As we were contemplating this whole thing, I said to Ralph, look at the refrigerator, (as I opened it), and it was full of food., just like it normally it, (little room for more) to be put in.
I said, "how then would be accomodate so many people? and their food they'd need to buy?.........he saw my dilemma.
i noticed too, we had 2 tables in which people could eat.
One was a smallish dining room area, with 3 chairs.,the other our normal kitchen area with a table & chairs.(just 2, one for him the other for me).
Before I knew it, they(the group), wanted to go out to someplace and invited us along.
As we opened the front door, to exit;, it was like being in Venice, (all water) like a canal, and not any land then.
So we hopped into a smallish rowboat with a propeller (speedboating) then; alongside a ferry or larger vehicle with young men that these young women apparently knew as they waved & talked to them.
I saw ahead of us, a large amount of MUD, and I said, "watch out you don't want to get mired in the mud, caught up in it".....and so the boat swerved to the right, in order to avoid all this mud.
There was still mud, but not enough to cause us to get "bogged down" then.
Next I knew we were at the destination they wanted to go in, at a bar type setting, a nightclub where we all stood outside looking in.
I said, "No thanks, I'm not going in, when I saw a stripper type person there without clothes.....dancing", yet everyone else was dressed up, in their best clothes, fancy clothes".....
But I stood my ground and said, "no", I'm not dressed for this, nor did I want to be part of it.
Ralph was more or less, "on the fence" about it, and didn't seem to push the matter once I made up my mind.
end of the dream.
