Tree Dress

Anonymous - Re: Dreams of Our Dead

I dream I am organizing and speaking at the function in a few minutes.

My dead mother is there and tells me that I just have to get a more appropriate dress. I am too casual and bedraggled and this event is important and I need to show up at my best for it.

But we only have a few minutes! Fortunately, the event is in a luxury building with many fancy shops.

I am relieved my mother is with me, she is an excellent and effective shopper and I am just overwhelmed. We rule out a few shops.

There is a white dress with embroidery and some beading on a dress form/ mannequin in front of a seamstress shop. She notes that it is “my” size (the size I was when my mother was still alive). It is a tree dress, with a detailed stylized tree painted and embroidered on it. It comes with a light blue-green shimmery wrap.

We take note of it as a solid contender, and time is running out.

We look in one more shop, a Mother and Children’s store - that carries mom clothes and kids clothes both. I like them all, they are cute and comfy and colorful.

I liked being a mom.

I liked being with my mom in the shop.

They have a simpler less formal version of the tree dress here, but it is size too small. An outgrown size.

We rush back to the first store with the more formal version that actually fits.
