I dreamed last night I was going to pick people up for a get together. I have not seen the lady in over 13 years and I had never met her family. Well I had the address put in my GPS but she lived in the middle of nowhere and I was having a hard time finding her. I was on a little country dirt road and seen a older guy in a yard working on a car and you could tell he was very poor and he had what looked like six children running around barely dressed. The kids were playing in a huge dirt pile with little trucks making tunnels and seemed to be so happy without a care in the world. The old guy had the same way about him. Well I went up to him and asked did he know where this lady lived and he said yes I do, right around the corner. It is a concrete driveway. He extenteded his dirty hand to me and I was not going to shake it because it was so dirty but did anyway because he was such a sweet man. I just felt so sorry for that man and those kids they did not look to have much of anything. Well I tried to push that to the back of my mind and got in the van and drove to the ladies house. When I pulled into her drive I was in shock. She had the biggest house I had ever seen. It even had a huge pond in the front. As we pulled up four boys came out dressed in the finest clothes and the most depressed look on their face. I told the boys hello and they just held their heads low. Next the father came out half drunk. He said I'm not always drunk. When I'm not drunk I'm on the golf course. While we were waiting on the lady to come out my husband and kids tried to make conversation with them and I went in the house. Well when I got in I seen that they has a three year old daughter that was scared to leave the house without giving the cats extra food so they were doing that and I also seen that the woman was pregnat again. I pulled out of their driveway feeling more sorry for them than the old guy then I woke up. The weird thing about this dream is that the woman in the dream is a lady I went to school with. We were not really friends. I liked her but we were not close. I also know she has one child now and they live nothing like in this dream. I didn't know the old man. Any help would be great!
Interesting that the people in your dream who didn't have very much seemed very happy and the people who had a lot seemed miserable. Maybe your unconscious is trying to tell you not to be too concerned about material things, that other things in life are more important.
