Family Law [CPX] [RT: Office/Business] [14th Day of 40]
Scene 1 Choosing Place for Family Vacation
I'm sitting in a small room in a large group of people. They are all ostensibly family members. We are discussing where in the future the family may take a vacation. It sounds like because we're discussing weather it may be a winter skiing vacation. We're discussing Burlington. We are remembering talking to two little local girls that live there about how icy things get. Decide to leave the issue open. Invite all members of the family to discuss this over the next year. We think it's going to be in Burlington or one other place but we will leave open. A “dark horse” could emerge later, anything can happen. There are three People that make up a no- typical family unit. During part of this process they are officially recognized as part of the family and that makes them and me) happy. It is not clear exactly what or who they are but there are two young people and an older person. They may be handicap, disfigured or very small, but there's something very strange about the. It is not made clear.
Scene 2 The Closing at a Country Club
The reason the family is getting together is for some major legal transaction. It may be after the death of the primary mother and or father. I apparently was central in choosing the lawyer. The lawyer is from a large firm or at least is well positioned in society. He is a very good but expensive lawyer. We are all shaking hands after the closing. I make it a point to shake each person's hand that had a part in the closing. I don't recall any specific names but I call them by name as I shake their hands.
Scene 3 Debriefing with Relative, Did We Pay Too Much for the Lawyer?
We are walking out from the closing. I am discussing with another family member whether the lawyer was a good choice. He was potentially too expensive. The family member is asking whether we should have shopped around. I am second-guessing myself.
Scene 4 Example of a Bad/Cheap Lawyer.
While discussing with the family member if we paid too much, I imagine a detailed scene what it would be like working with a cheap lawyer. He is sitting in a dirty apartment there is a clothes line going across and there is a newspaper that is hanging over the clothesline in the crease. As I'm discussing this scene with my family member, I say something about the lawyer making up his mind ahead of time. The newspaper is some set of facts but they aren't correct. But the lawyer keeps reading the newspaper over and over. He had some hand in creating the newspaper. And he just keeps confirming to himself the bad information that he has. There is another example discussed where the bad lawyer misses an important deadline, but has some lame excuse.
Scene 5 Being Thanked by the Lawyer for Being Chosen
At some point, possibly still in the Country Club, the lawyer is shaking my hand and thanking me very much for choosing him. He is particularly thankful because of the people that he met at the country club. These are just the kinds of people that he wants to do business with in the future. It will be a small group of very wealthy people that may bring him business for the rest of his career.
Notes:
I can hear a hawk cry as I am writing up this dream. I used Google Maker (my dreamed up application for remembering dreams) to recall this dream. The visual organization was very helpful. I reviewed the scenes several times before opening my eyes. It was a challenge not getting lost in the detail. I wanted to remind myself of some of the fine detail in in the dream, but still keep track of the titles of the scenes. I must have counted and numbered the scenes more than 5 times. I judge this to be a success for recalling detail. [LH] I also judge this to be an excellent exercise for my would-be mental agility.
I need to be cognizant of working too hard on dream technique. I am reading The Phase, the author states that 2-3 times a week in the maximum you want to practice a technique. Same is true of supplements. So my plan going forward is to have intense focus on technique 2-3 times a week, but try and keep with the journal/blog and the book draft daily.
Pulled from my day: We finished watching the "The Night Of" a cable show about a murder. That is where all the lawyer stuff came from. Amazing detail.
