The Three Inferior Decorators

Morning of March 24, 2014. Monday.

My wife and family are living in a large two-storey house which is supposedly in Brisbane, Australia yet looks like a variation of sister Marilyn's house, though a lot bigger. The first part of my dream has a section of near-lucidity as does a section near the ending, but never full lucidity.

I hear a noise outside and look out from the (implied) north side of a room upstairs. As I look down, I see an unkempt man seemingly moving from the outer area of that side of our house - (he looks up with a slightly annoyed look at me; it is quite clear) - to then step through a window in the next house, which is fairly close to ours. The other house seems to be vacant and refurbishing seems to be a thought relative to the scene. I still am not quite sure why he came from our area. A little later, I look out again and see a different unkempt man coming from the same area as the previous. He, as well (after glancing up at me in a perturbed way), steps through the large window of the house next door. It is a very clear scene, but I cannot identify the two males.

My wife tells me that they are using the area inside our walls to gain access to the neighbor's house due to the closeness of the buildings which seems to sound reasonable at first. It seems that the two men are yelling at each other and I make a note of this to my wife. The fight seems to last a few minutes and seems related to building supplies and who does what with what. A little later, I notice that the entire southern section of the other house is mostly gone so that the inside can be seen. It also creates some sort of distorted imagery that our house is directly connected to it, sort of like a courtyard being in the "opening" of the house that links to ours, yet with a fancy wall of only a couple feet or so and almost looking like a miniature castle at one point.

Later, I am upstairs in a room of my own that seems to be a section from the King Street boarding house. Three men are now in our house doing work for the landlord in the western-most section. A man yells at me "we weren't arguing, mate..." (followed by something I do not hear clearly or remember) in an Australian manner and thick accent. I am not quite sure how he heard what I had said to my wife.

Later, I notice that the walls of vertical wooden slats (reminding me of our Clayfield apartment) have been recently painted. However, I also am aware that they did not need painting and whoever did it did an amazingly sloppy job, leaving triangular patches of the older coat near ceiling level, which looks very annoying. There are also tacky pieces of furniture added here and there and one room has horrid-looking wall paper, which is green and orange in vertical stripes and has upside-down V-shaped golden patterns. I tell myself that I will redo everything when the other men leave.

Feeling more and more annoyed, especially at the idea of having three strangers in our house supposedly "fixing" the place while merely destroying aspects of it in one way or another, I go to the room the three men are in. The three men are sitting about on the floor, all in informal meditating positions. The one on my far left, at first, looks like Richard B, a second pinhead (after Leonard S) I knew from La Crosse (who would be very old now if still alive). I say the first name fairly loud a few times, but it turns out that it is not him, and a different name is given by a different man (which I do not recall, it might have been "Paul"). He still closely resembles him and does have the same characteristics. He has an extreme slouch as well. I tell them that I will inform the landlord if they keep messing around as they have been doing. A little later, I am back in the adjoining room. Suddenly, I feel vibrations that are amazingly vivid to what it would actually feel like when a wall is transmitting sound caused by someone jumping on the floor. In the other room, the three men are jumping around, singing and yelling, and eventually playing a loud stereo. Their voices are very clear and distinguishable.

My wife gets very upset by both their being in the house at all, as well as their present behavior. It looks as if they had knocked a wall out from one side (west) for no particular reason. They mostly just sing and dance around in a drunken manner. She yells about them and goes downstairs with the apparent plan of not going upstairs again until they are gone (assuming there will still be an upstairs left). Our children seem to feel the same way. Our baby, however, is still wandering around upstairs. There are two large flights of stairs going up from north to the south end and fairly close together (divided only by one smaller room or area, it seems). I am concerned about the baby walking too close to the steps. She actually goes down a couple of the steps as I start to wake with great concern for her safety, but there is no drama. (In real life, she is the most adventurous one-year-old I had ever seen, even managing to climb up on our dresser and do a "tap dance" - as well as walk along the back of the couch.)

This dream seems to have some sort of unusual modern alteration of the "three witches" archetype.
