Last night I dreamt my family and I went to see my brother’s wedding in Providence. We went into the church and sat down and listened to the music. However we had some difficulty getting into the church and getting places because of the crowds. And the whole dream was repeated with this exception… everything went well and we were seated with no difficulty. My brother and sister-in-law did not appear. (71 words)
