Dream of: 23 April 2004 "Business Ties"
I was in the living room of the 29th Street House, talking with my mother
. My father and my sister were also in the room. We were going over the details of a new plan for my mother to pay my sister and me $1,000 each per month. I was planning to use part of my $1,000 to offset the payments I had been making to my mother for the two houses I had been buying from her. After deducting for those payments, I wanted my mother to use the balance of my $1,000 to pay part of the money which I was paying to my sister for my sister's share of the 29th Street House. Even after that, I would still have a small payment to make each month to my sister. All together, I figured my sister would receive about $1,394 a month from my mother, and I would receive nothing.My sister seemed irked about something, but I couldn't tell what. Finally she mentioned something about some money which my mother had given me. I couldn't remember exactly what my sister was talking about, but I thought about $200 was involved, which seemed like a paltry amount
My brother-in-law was also standing in the background. He looked different than normal. He seemed gaunt and seemed to have aged considerably (he looked about 50 years old).
I became angry by my sister's attitude. My sister was getting ready to leave, and I wanted her to get the $1,000 check from my mother before she left, but my sister was going to leave without taking the check now. As my sister reached the door, I erupted. I told her I just wanted to finish our business ties. After that, I didn't ever want to see her again. She said that would be fine and she walked out.
As soon as she had left, my father told me I had done a good job in telling my sister how I felt. I began talking with him. I knew something else was bothering me, but I hadn't been able to remember what while my sister had been here. Now I remembered that my mother was going to give $10,000 each to my nephew David and my nephew Steven. This had upset me because my sister and I had originally agreed to having my mother split her assets between my sister and me. Now my mother was becoming sicker with Alzheimer's, and the deal had been changed -- now my sister's children would be taking part of what had been promised to me.
I told my father I also had some problems with him, that for about the last year I hadn't told him how I really felt about him because I hadn't wanted to argue with him. The bad feelings had been mounting and now I felt as if I just had to tell him I had problems with him. As soon as I had said this, he started to become angry. I thought to myself that this was exactly the reason I couldn't talk with him, because he became angry so easily.
