The Ugly Carpet Dream of 2/27/07

A few nights ago, I dreamed that Josh and I moved to a new apartment. It was a large studio and had a very low ceiling. I remembered that it looked ok when we went to see it before deciding to buy it, but then after we bought it, it was awful inside. All of our furniture was inside and I felt claustrophobic because it was all one room and the ceiling was so low. The floor had a really ugly maroon carpet, so I tried to see if I could peel it up. It wasn't tacked down at all, so it came up very easily. It had a padded liner beneath it, and beneath that was an even worse carpet with its own padded liner, and beneath that, linoleum. I begged Josh to let us get wood flooring, but he said that he wasn't comfortable with the amount of time that would take, so we would just have to make the best of the carpet. The dream ended with me lying in bed, desperately trying not to panic, and moaning, "This feels like a horrible exile!"
