This dream was from around February 16th.
This is how I took the dream down in my journal:
There were some people gathered in our house, working on projects. One of them was somebody I'd had an altercation or issue with earlier. After some time I approached a group of two or three sitting on the couch (my end)--one of them was this girl so I felt wary talking to them, but decided to act polite as if I were over the issue. Asked them if they were trying to determine the symbolism of the number seven, what makes it lucky. I knew from my reading (Mysteries Of The Unknown?) that five of the seven were the five senses; and I guessed that the other two were the power of thought, and a supernatural sense (i. e., ESP). Thus seven. The girl said no--they were working on another number, like ten or eleven. "Oh," I said, kind of disappointed not to be able to help. I tried to think of the symbolism, what totaled ten or eleven, but couldn't. The girls were coming up with their own meanings. I started to walk away, then murmured back to them, "You're creating a new philosophy!" and smiled or chuckled. Was going to say "making up," but didn't want to insinuate they were just making stuff up at random since they didn't know the traditional answer. I think they got this impression anyway so I left. Went into the dining room to use the computer. Someone was on a computer(?) at the (nonexistent) dining room table right to my left when I sat down--very crowded. Might've gone online, but then decided to type up my earlier dream about the wind and leaves (see "The Wind In The Leaves"). Think it was dark out. I belatedly noticed how old and SMALL the monitor was--not a flatscreen, and not even as big as our first one. Wow tacky.
Additional info: The girl I'd had an issue with might have had short light hair and glasses, a bit chubby or at least round faced like the nerdy girl in The Goonies. When I acted nicely toward her, I feel she remembered the earlier issue, but she politely didn't bring it up either. When I sat at the computer there was now a big table similar to the old one we used to have in the dining room but got rid of long ago, and someone was seated at the side nearest the computer so space was quite cramped. They too were working on something and I decided not to let them bother me. The monitor resembled our old one in build but was even smaller and somewhat dirty and smudged. On looking at it I had the same feeling one would have after having used a new big monitor for quite a while and getting used to it, then being made to use a smaller model again. I realize now that this then is two outdated elements that were remaining in the dining room--the old (now gone) table and a smaller replica of the old (now gone) monitor. I was just settling down to type up the earlier dream when I awoke.
