I had a kitchen dream (going nuts?)

11 years ago

that we bought an old house for 'parts' and inside was cram jammed with vintage stuff INCLUDING a COPPER FRIDGE, stove and double bowl top mount sink. The sink was still in it's super groovy vintage window advertising display set-up which I figured was worth some $$ on it's own.

I was super excited in my dream about this.

WTheck?

It's called obsessing, with a capital O, about your kitchen. That's what we TKO do, you know. ;)

I have similar dreams about buying a house in various locations. In th e morning, when I mention the dreams to my DH and ask how he likes our new house, he just says that he didn't have the same dream!

I think that I'm going a little nuts over caring for new seeds.

It will grow, don't fret! I planted 96K (full sun) this spring with no underground system and I wasn't about to drag hoses around. We had 2.5 weeks of no rain as soon as I planted and then a batch of heavy thunderstorms that washed 1/3 of my seed away. It came in semi thin with loads of crabgrass and other weeds. I hit it with Bayer advanced weed killer this summer and that killed off most of the weeds and slowed the crabgrass. I haven't fertilized at all. I just overseeded it during the last week of August and I have sprouts everywhere. I'm going to apply a winterizer next month and a very thorough pre-emergent in the spring and I'm quite certain I will have a beautiful 5 blend tall fescue lawn next year. It already looks very nice (tall fescue = super deep green...even in drought) but nowhere near what it will be. I'm guilty of abuse by most standards and recklessness by some but my yard is coming in fine and getting better by the week. Just relax a little and enjoy the new growth.

I read that it is legal to download as long as I am not selling it, playing the song at any place where you would normally pay someone to play a song- such as a wedding, big party... It is confusing... Nope - your not getting legal downloads. If a song has a copyright (and nearly all do) you cannot download, even for personal use. Tally- I DID buy Limewire- $35 for a year. You paid $35 for the LimeWire Pro SOFTWARE - that does not make any music downloads legal - it is confusing - but you actually got ripped off if you think you are safe from prosecution by downloading from them. Their own site states that - although you really have to search for it. When you sign up with LimeWire - one of the things you agree too (if you actually read EVERYTHING - is that you will not download copyright material. This is from Limewire: "LimeWire Users The program distributed by Lime Wire, "LimeWire BASIC and LimeWire PRO", is legal software, but like many legal things, it is possible to use it in illegal ways. Specifically, it is illegal for you to use LimeWire to share, distribute or download (all of which we call sharing) copyrighted files without permission, or to share unlawful pornographic materials. In addition, it may be unlawful to share certain other files that are protected, proprietary, personal or confidential or contain protected, proprietary, personal or confidential information.

If you recorded your own original song - and wanted to share it with others, so that they could download it - that is legal. Downloading of copywritten material - not legal. I also bought a couple iTunes, but now can't download them to the mp3- even the computer tech can't- so maybe iTunes isn't the place to buy songs from?? iTunes works with iPods - Apples to Apples if you have a different type of MP3 player - you need to use somewhere else for your downloads. WalMart.com has lots, and there are many other legal sites. If you choose to use an illegal d/l site - that is your choice, but you should be correctly informed going into it. Don't fool yourself into thinking LimeWire, KaZaa or others like that are legal. Read EVERYTHING when you are getting music from a site. It is a $$ fine when you get caught - several thousand dollars.

Strangest Dream I've ever had...
Q
Comments (5)
I had a similar dream. I was in the hospital and people were standing around my bed. I was dying and I knew it. A very good friend of mine, who died over two years ago, was standing at the foot of my bed. Even though I knew I was dying, I wasn't afraid. My friend turned and walked out of the room. Next scene in my dream, I was walking down my driveway towards my house. The friend who died, had given me his truck, and as I passed by the truck parked there, I saw a letter written on about 3 sheets of notebook paper, in pencil, folded in half, stuck in between the side mirror and the truck door. (My friend used to write to me sometimes (before he died, of course), so I instantly knew the letter was from him. I started reading the letter and he said he was sorry he had to leave the room when I was dying but he couldn't handle it, but he wanted to tell me that he thought I was very brave. And then I woke up. I didn't get to finish reading the letter. I took care of this friend for several years before he died and I was with him when he died. We knew he was dying and had often talked about it. I had asked him to please give me a sign, if any way he could, when he had passed on. I was so disappointed I couldn't finish reading the letter. Even though he was very close to me, I don't dream about him very often, but the last time I dreamed about him, he called me on the phone, and asked me why don't you come see me anymore. I said, "You don't live where you used to live." (I didn't want to tell him that a niece that he disliked now lives in his house.) Then I said, "You died." He said, "Are you sure?" I said, "Yes, I was there when it happened." and then I woke up.

Hmmm, let's check that out. Can you post a photo of your whole house? We could try some mock ups to see how it all looks. Think of this: lots of people paint their doors bright colors to make them pop. Their door color doesn't match anything else, yet people have no qualms about that. So maybe a wood door wouldn't look off with a white garage door. And here in colonial country, I can think of many homes with wood doors and white garages.

Oh, that's great! LOL

Ask absolutely anyone who has waited tables or tending bar about this: It is extremely common, almost a global consciousnesses, that we have dreams about waiting tables. Usually naked.
That we're "weeded" (too many tables, too many people wanting things at the same time, and you're still naked) and suddenly
you're the only one in the restaurant.
Can't find what you need,
the young mother who thinks she's the only one to have progeny, EVER, won't shut her screaming baby up,
A drunk pukes
A drama queen finds her own hair in her soup & you know because it's also magenta,
A Manager wants you to stock glasses or crackers
You spill on someone
You leave (for your next job or something) because your relief hasn't shown
All your food needs to be delivered at once..

Catch my drift? It's so funny how different situations engender dreams around the same, common experiences -- and hopes, dreams and fears!

Get this: After over 30 years of this work, with a new job I still have these dreams in the beginning. The ironic part is that even in my dream, I now know I'm the only one that realizes I'm naked, so if I pretend I don't notice, neither do my guests. Talk about the subconscious coping!!!

Not a kitchen per se, but I dreamed last night I was in a castle. It wasn't an authentic castle, it was a repro for some reason but was fantastic. It was huge, with wide stone hallways, high ceilings, archways,ect. And to top it off, I was with an acquaintance's husband!

Schoolhouse- LOL! A 'castle dream' with an aquaintance's husband...I don't know what that means. Maybe you needed some expert advice, picking out an archway? Or just help carrying it home.

Deedles- A copper fridge! That sounds like it would be perfect in your kitchen :)

That sounds like a fun dream, a dream with positive emotions. I think a lot of our dreams take emotions we have and then build a construct around them of things from our conscious mind, memories or images from the present. If you dreamt that you were excited and happy to find something surprising and beautiful, that's a good thing. It was just about kitchens because that's what you're doing right now. You didn't dream that you opened the copper frig and a monster came out and grabbed your husband and you couldn't scream or move... Now that would be an anxiety dream. No, I think yours was a happy kitchen dream. Only sad when you woke up and there were no copper appliances.

I hope this dream means that you are, in fact, happy, and that you think life holds many wonderful and beautiful surprises for you. I hope it does!

A copper fridge?? Did it look anything like this?

Christine: I know just what you mean with the dreams about waiting tables. Oy.

OT: Angie, is this your copper reveal? Last I saw, you were "aging" your sheets of copper outdoors. That fridge looks like it turned out perfect. I would love to see more. Do you have a thread on your copper?

Hi, enduring,

Yes, this is the debut. I just completed it a few days ago, and I couldn't resist posting a picture of it on this thread, for obvious reasons! That picture is not the best, but I really like how it turned out.

I was debating starting a "copper appliances reveal" thread. I was (still am) concerned it will be too much of a "big reveal" since my kitchen is so small! Whaddya think?

I totally love it. Really. I just want it, and am trying to decide how to switch out the cherry panels for the copper. I can do this. Thanks, Angie, like I didn't already have enough on my plate!!

Maybe I will dream about it tonight!

No dreams about copper appliances here, but would be happy to do so!

I dream (at least monthly- minimum) about missing the bus for school. I'm 35 now. Same scenario. Running out the front door in my school skirt, down the street, trying to hit the corner before the bus goes around it. When I was in the sixth grade my mom went to japan for a month. I was deathly afraid to miss the bus, because my dad would have to come back from work. I did miss the bus and that what happened. He wasn't mad, but for some reason that stuck with me.

I stopped dreaming (just few months ago) about shelving crackers. I worked for nabisco for a few years as a sales rep (almost six years ago). It was NOT my favorite job. I dream that I have to go back for money and I have to stock shelves. Makes my skin crawl.

Here's to hoping for kitchens to dream about!

Wow is that a beautiful fridge! How unique... I love that.

The one in my dream was awesome and retro, all curvy with a top freezer. I can still see it.....it was beautiful!

Angie, it would be wonderful to see a "copper appliances reveal". We have to remember that size of kitchen has nothing to do with the value of reveals:) As evidenced in the responses above, we want to see. If it is now, or later with the rest of your kitchen, it will be a real treat. You've been so industrious and creative with your applications. I really like the stainless steel handles with the copper. Are you going to keep them that way?

Claybabe, are you exchanging your cherry panels?

Mamadadapaige, I think you deserve a ticket for being TOO Funny!

kimiko232, I had to really think what "Shelving Crackers" looked like, a new dream treat? Then I realized you meant shelving "Crackers". Oh well:/
