Stress

In this dream I am still living in the basement of the Rainbow Ranch. However, the Ranch is much larger (both in size and number of rooms) and there are more people around. My cat Gordon lives with me and I am also taking care of my housemate KT's bunny Bunny.

It's Saturday night and most of the people in the house are getting ready to go out. It's starting to occur to me that I don't have a cage for Bunny; until now she has been sitting contently on a blanket on top of a stack of books. I'm starting to worry that I can't go to sleep tonight, much less go out on the town, without Gordon potentially attacking her.

(To make matters worse, I'm still in college and final exams are on Monday. Of course I haven't studied at all.)

I'm going around from room to room trying to find a solution for my problem. One particularly large room in the basement has pieces of plastic animal cages scattered about on the floor. I try to find two pieces that match up but am unable. No single piece would make a functional cage.

As a last resort I try to introduce Bunny and Gordon to each other, by carrying Bunny over to where Gordon is. Gordon immediately assumes a pouncing posture, so I rule out the possibility of them getting along.

I manage to track down KT as he is leaving the house. "KT!" I say.

"Oh," he says. "Did you want to come to the Simpsons movie too?"

"Well, maybe," I say, but I explain my problem to him and ask if he could take Bunny back. KT proceeds to become angry with me, exclaiming that he took care of Bunny for years and never complained!

I awake shortly thereafter, relieved.
