Security Alert

[Tessie]

I was dreaming we were moving our residence from house to house. First, we simply shifted houses in our neighborhood, so the view outside was almost identical to our current house. Then we moved to a large, white farmhouse in the country. It was rougher that we're used to. It was going to take some work to repair it, but there was plenty of room for gardens and sunshine to grow things which made me ecstatic. We hadn't been in this house long as I still needed to hang curtains in some rooms for privacy since the bathroom was in full view of the uncurtained front door. There were at least a half dozen of unknown men just walking from rooms in my house, giving me no privacy. No idea why they were there: Construction? Business meeting? All of these were possible. My children were very young in this dream and I was teaching my daughter how to write her name in cursive on the back of some discarded artwork. And then I look down and see a security alert, like a white paper issued by the state department. On it, it said missiles were located on July 28. My husband was demanding my attention as I was trying to read this alert and I kept trying to get him to leave me alone because I needed to read this paper for Project August. He wouldn't stop pestering me, so I couldn't finish reading the paper. And then I woke up.
