(7/9/08) cheap apartment, fancy hotel; lay down with me

(Entered in paper journal at 6:05 AM on Q-train from Brooklyn into Manhattan.)

Dream #1

I was in a house in my hometown of Denver. I'd either bought or rented this house and had gotten a very good deal on it. My boss BS was there. BS was wearing a plainish business suit. He was talking about what a good deal this place was and that, now that I had gotten it, I could come to Denver whenever I wanted.

I was now in a weird position on the couch, like I was in the middle of a single-handed push-up, but my whole body was parallel with the ground. I thought something like, Doesn't BS see how tough I am?

BS said, "You could stay at the XXXXX (some fancy hotel)." As BS said this, I was filing through a tall chest of drawers, which may have been empty. I didn't realize until now that BS was actually on a business trip in Denver and that he was upset with me for not having invited him to stay in this place instead of going to a hotel. Now he wanted me to stay in his hotel instead of this place.

I was now probably in the house all by myself. The house was dark or dim. The curtains were pulled over the windows. I may have had a flashlight with me.

I saw two books (one wide picture book with a black dust jacket with a colorful photo of a mandala, and a smaller book leaning on top of that book?) on a table before the window. I walked to a stairway that went up into darkness. I had a feeling that upstairs were rooms (in particular, a bathroom?) that were in awful shape.

Dream #3

I was laying in bed in the dark. My girlfriend H stood near the foot of the bed. She may have been wearing only a t-shirt. I said, "Don't you want to lay down with me?" She said she did and she jumped into bed beside me.
