Last night I dreamed that I was in Brooklyn, NY, taking the subway like a legitimate resident of the New York City borough. I was apartment hunting in Brooklyn and found the most amazing Brownstone to call home. (The Brownstone had been separated into "condos"/apartments.) It was far from perfect, considering my HGTV expectations of a kitchen with marble, granite, or quartz countertops and dark wood cabinets, but it was perfect for me. Eventually in my apartment hunt, I ran into my cousins that live in Brooklyn. Strange ending to a perfect beginning, but when I woke up, I began thinking back on my dream. Could this dream be perhaps a sign of what could happen in my not-so-distant future?
The fact that I was apartment hunting in Brooklyn was strange to me. Every time I think about living in NYC, I consider living in Manhattan and ONLY Manhattan. In this dream, I looked at Brooklyn as the only place I would consider calling home. And even stranger, I was thinking about becoming a life-long NYC citizen. I only want to live in New York for a few years, so that thought was the strangest one of the whole dream. If dreams do reveal tiny parts of the future, then I am extremely excited to begin my NYC adventure. But first I must complete my 4 years of teaching/paying back Teaching Fellows in North Carolina, preferably Charlotte.....
