The other night, before Annavelle and I broke up, I had a dream that I was in her ex-boyfriend's house. It was the second dream in which I've had a rational conversation with the man despite his real-life silence the one time we ever met. I have the impression that I wound up in his house after walking a considerable distance and I remember that I had been wearing two shirts. I took both of the shirts off to cool down and began talking to him about Annavelle. We shared a lot of the same observations and surmised that other friends and family of hers would have shared them too had they been present. The discussion continued for a while, almost pleasantly, and eventually I excused myself and turned to leave. He lives with his cousin and in the dream his cousin appeared as a threatening Caucasian male who got in my way as I was trying to leave. I put on one of my shirts and made it to the front door, despite the obnoxious cousin's attempts to forcibly prevent me from leaving. When I got to the door I realized that I had left my other shirt behind. I remember thinking in the dream that I already had a shirt and that there was no logical reason to go back for the other one but I did so anyways. The obnoxious cousin got in my face again and bullied me for an indeterminate length of time. I woke up before I ever managed to escape from the house.
