I dream vividly and today I dreamed that I was standing outside the funeral home that's across the street from my niece's school. It was shut down and abandoned in my dream and I thought it would be exciting to explore it. I took my niece, sister, and mom with me, and apparently it was a hang out spot for weirdos, druggies, and homeless people.

My mom wanted to go, but I asked her to stay with our bags. We explored the ground level and there were a lot of bathrooms but I don't recall seeing sleep rooms (the chapels where wakes are held.)

I decided we had to see the prep room downstairs, but my sister was scared, so I took my niece. We went to the basement and it was all messy and open, not like offices and a morgue. My niece found some old teddy bears that I knew in the dream were supposed to go in the caskets of people, but were left behind. She was excited and started bagging them up.

Then I walked around and found a display case with 80's and 90's Barbie dolls and a playset in there. I couldn't believe it! I started grabbing all of them and stuffing them into plastic bags, even though I heard it was evil to take things from the dead. I decided that the owners left them behind to make myself feel less uneasy.

There was the Hula Hair Barbie, Wedding Day Midge, I think Western Fun Nia, and others that I don't recall clearly. Then I found some Kelly dolls, and I love to collect those. I was so excited, so my niece and I stuffed them in bags and argued over who got to keep what, then agreed to decide when we got home.

It was really weird, to say the least. In real life I do collect dolls, and often I dream of stealing really cool "vintage" Barbie dolls that I created in my dream and don't exist, like Victorian Oreo Tin Kelly, lol. It's always an insane amount of them, and I'm so excited that I'm hurrying and shaking. The fact that it took place in an abandoned funeral parlor instead of usual places like discount stores and garage sales where people don't understand what they're selling is interesting. Death means change, right? My taste in dolls hasn't changed. It's so strange but I woke up happy.
