UGH...last night I dreamt about pins...
UGH...last night I dreamt about pins...
DREAM: I am working in a little store in what appears to be a downtown, honestly not unlike DLR Main Street. An old fashion blue mail drop box is located less than 5 feet from the front door. I go out to the mail box and pull down the drop slot bar and the big locked door on the bottom swings open. The bottom is half filled with pins that have postage stamps attached to each pin card but no envelopes and no addresses. I am totally freaked out I shut the door hard and return to the store.
I do not know what to do...from what I can see these are rare pins and dozens of them. Who does this? I'm freaked because I simply cannot go and retrieve the pins as I do not want to break a Federal Law… BUT I know these pins have a new home to go to and if I simply leave them the USPS will likely destroy them. I am confounded...do the right thing but break a Federal Law vs ignore them and know pieces of art & history will be destroyed. I start a search for the pins by back checking & cross referencing past sells, feedback and want ads on Ebay, DPF and FaceBook.
After hours of research I feel I have found the new rightful owners of the pins. I make my choice: break the law, retrieve the pins, place them in 8x10 addressed bubble envelopes with appropriate postage and mail them at a proper Post Office (I know how specific can I be in a dream) BUT it starts to rain and now I know the task of retrieving all these pins will take twice as long so I am sure to be caught in the act. Then all these customers start coming in the store. I have know idea how to be a sales person and I am not even sure what this store sales. People want rocking horses, perfume bottles, insurance policies, etc...I am frustrated because I must liberate those pins before the Postal Carrier arrives. The rain increases but the customers stop arriving, my chance to liberate those pins has arrived BUT then in walks the Postal Carrier...fade to black dream ends when my dog jumps on the bed “WAKE UP FEED ME NOW!!!!”
My Analysis: This is a separation anxiety dream. We are not abandoning our pins collections but we are absolutely "cleaning house". We are trying to finish sets & collections, obtain those grail wants we have always talked about and we are trying to not be seduced by new pretty pins & characters.
I have been watching some auctions on Ebay and following some sales & auctions on DPF…I even watch pins I love that have no place in our home and I watch the sales & auctions end and imagine them going to their new homes. I think I am going through stages of grief or least a few deadly sins: envy, greed, lust, larceny…LOL
Anyone else dream of pins?
