December dream journal

My family was prominent in my dreams last night but I can only clearly recall the last portion of the last one. I was driving down the highway and saw a stunning view and considered pulling over to take a picture but decided not to.  But the woman in front of me did, she pulled over to the side of the highway and then suddenly, we were no longer in cars. I was walking down a path and approaching me in the opposite direction was my friend Karen D., who looked great! Her hair was longer than usual and thicker and very curly.  Karen had a cigarette in one hand and a Diet Coke in the other and I was relieved to see the cigarette because I was smoking also and did not know if I should hug her with a butt in my hand but since she was smoking too, I decided it was ok. After we hugged hello, my family came strolling by, and I pulled Karen over to where they were so I could introduce her.

Prior to that I cannot recall much other than my family was in it and I don't think we were all getting along. My parents' house often figures prominently in my dreams, I have no idea why. But it seems I live over there in my dreams a lot more than in my own house.
