2025-08-12: trouble sleeping

so many stress dreams lately. again, the old house, the one that doesn't exist anymore. i need to go back to get something. it's abandoned and the walls and ceiling are discoloured and bulging with water damage. the roof, i nod in the dream. i pick up a few coats, a collar from our first dog. i go down to the basement. the tiles are loose. i pry one up. there is three inches of water underneath. in the dream i go back to our house, get dealt into a card game with my partner and her parents. did you remember —. i've forgotten something. i go back to the old house. it doesn't exist anymore.
