So I had some weird dreams last night.

First I dreamed that we bought this amazingly beautiful Victorian house with a huge front yard.

For some reason there was like an old cart out in the front, and the mailbox was on it, and an old 1960s metal office chair and some boxes. We were talking about doing something specific with the space, but I can't remember what, and we were talking about moving the mailbox somewhere else. Then we looked out across the street, and noticed our neighbor's mailbox was at the street. Then we noticed there was a mailbox in front of our house, and we realized the mailbox on the cart was just junk, and we were talking about throwing everything on the cart away, when 3 cats and 2 dogs came crawling out of the boxes and junk.

Then we found a weird locket in the house, and we were suddenly in an episode of CSI where the locket was the calling card of a serial killer, and we found out he had killed the family that had lived in the house before us, and he'd never been caught. I started trying to lock all the windows and doors, but some of the doors wouldn't latch, and then there was a room into the foyer that didn't have a door, and I kept trying to latch the front door, but it swung both in and out, and I couldn't get the lock lined up to the door.

Then I had a tween daughter who was playing dress up with her friends, and they decided to go up into a turret that happened to be part of the house, and they were dressed as princesses.

Then I was in a room, that I think was supposed to be a dining room, and the floor was crazy. There was like a rectangle of about 6 x 12 of linoleum, and that was ringed with green shag carpeting, and then there was another square of wooden floors, also with a border of carpet, and then there was another space of wood floors, different from the other, also with a carpet border.

It was a strange and stressful dream.
