Strange dream about a rat and PM Tony Blair

[Quakerfriend]

After reading Ms. Waverly's post I thought you might enjoy hearing about the strange dream I had last night:

I dreamt that I was with a very good family friend named Ann. We both worked for Tony Blair and were in a house (very nice and high priced house that actually exists in my old neighborhood). There were other people, some young men who lived there. It was apparent to me in the dream that there were gays living in the house. It was a very peaceful atmosphere within the house and there was a great sense of tolerance among those who lived there.

We had bought a white rat to have as a pet. And, it was decided (against my better judgment) that the rat could sort of have the run of the house. My friend Ann, and I, were looking for the rat in what was like an attic. It had white carpet and was very clean and tidy. An attic, but more like a nice walk-in closet where Tony B. kept his stuff. As I searched for the rat I found myself impressed with how nicely Tony B. kept everything. There was even a coffin there! It was a beautiful, very simple white burled wood coffin. And, I commented to my friend that it was really amazing how "Tony planned ahead and took care of things." In the dream, I was thinking that it was pretty impressive that he had even made some arrangements for his funeral, ahead of time.

As we searched for the rat I noticed that the rat had gone to the bathroom all over the place- big piles, more like a cat or dog would leave. I thought that it was not a good idea to have given this rat the run of the place. I began to get concerned because Tony was going to be arriving at the house soon. Then Tony got there and we chatted in the kitchen...and then I woke up.

In the dream Tony B. was like an old friend, even though we worked for him. He was someone everyone in the house held in very high esteem. Sort of like a neighbor you've known for 25 years. The dream was very casual and very calm.

What do you all think? I would love to know!
