Last Night’s Homeless Shelter Dream

Last night, I dreamt that my sisters and my boyfriend were all volunteering at a Dallas homeless shelter.  I was waiting outside the shelter for them to finish up their shifts.  It was dark and it was rainy and I felt uncomfortable as I watched person after person walk into the shelter.  It was cold and I could see everyone’s frozen breath in the night air.  Someone offered me a cigarette and I said that I didn’t smoke.  “Aren’t you special!?” another person snapped at me.
