510: Dream text

In the dream, I am supposed to be at the house of my best friend/cousin Christine and her husband Chuck's, although it is not the house they live in. Their two younger sons are playing on the floor. Christian looks his current age of three and a half, but although Chuckie is almost two, he looks like he did when he was one. Christian walks up to Chuckie and pushes him over. Chuckie falls over backward and immediately sits back up and starts to cry. Between sobs, however, Chuckie begans talking smoothly and effortlessly, much like an adult. He vents his frustration about being being the youngest and being too small to fight back against his bigger brother. He continues to wail like a baby but talk like an adult for the rest of the dream.

This dream really stuck out to me. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to analyze my dreams in a Freudian way in this blog, but I will.

The different house is significant, because Christine has been talking for about a year about trying to move out of their current house (which is much too small for three boys and the grandparents that live with them). Other things that stick out to me is the relationship between Christian and Chuckie in the dream seems to be reversed. In reality, Chuckie is more apt to push Christian around despite the fact that he is younger and smaller. Christian is also more likely to cry about being pushed around. Chuckie is not prone to crying much and he is also not a big talker. I seemed to reverse Chuckie in several ways: he is younger and talks more than he does now.
