The World according to Ingrid

I have these strange dreams from time to time.

A few examples:
Half awake, half a sleep, I think lobsters are crawling at the end of my bed.
Yet, that doesn't scare me, 'cause when I see them... and I know exactly where they are located, I just roll to the other side of the bed.
Same with shadows, if I see a shadowy figure in the corner of the room.... I just look at it, determine where it is standing. Turn over and continue my sleep.

Now, a few days ago, I had the same thing kind of dream. I thought my apartment was being robbed (subconsciously, I probably heared the cat breaking a pot or something), and how do I respond: I just continue to sleep, but then underneath the sheets, under the impression that that will protect me. (I think I ve got the idea from my little cousin, who, when he plays hide and seek, just closes his eyes, and thinks he is well hidden)


Now, people, spare me the amateur psycho-science of sleep- analyses, 'cause I already looked it up:
Lobster:
To see a lobster in your dream, represents strength and persistence. You will hold your own ground and overcome minor difficulties and problems.

To dream that you are eating lobster, indicates that you will regain your confidence

(indeed, exactly: Whatever!!!)

On Friday, I decided it 's time to insure my property against waterdamage, fires, etc (I even think that lightning and earthquakes are included... hey, you can never feel safe enough)
Then the insurance-dude asked me: 'and what about burglary?'.
I replied with a: 'Neih,... let's not exagerate'.

My upstairs neigbours their apartment got robbed on New Years Eve.
Well how about that.
I 'm starting to like my neighbourhood.
It must be my cat that scared them off.

Wonder if I should get that insurance...
Wonder if I should get them a cake to wish them a Happy New Year?
Or maybe a new laptop would be more approbriate?
