Desperate Housewife Dreams

Cindy called me at work this morning to tell me her latest dream.

As our family was playing out back, a big van pulled up and a group came into the house, acting as if we were having an open house. Cindy asked what they were doing, and they said that they wanted to buy the house. (Cindy’s impression during this dream sequence was that they were relatives of our neighbors and wanted to live next door.)
Cindy replied, ‘But it’s not for sale!’
‘But we want to buy it—what would you accept?’ the man replied.
Cindy threw out the figure of $300,000 (and I jabbed her in the ribs to express my concern about how crazily high this figure was).
The man replied, ‘Actually, my wife was thinking of paying up to $375,000.’ [Note to dear readers, that is approx. 3 times the value of our humble abode.]
They left soon after, saying they would think about it. Soon a second (rather snooty) family showed up--they really wanted the house too.
But the next day, the first group came back with a check for $368,000.

Cindy then dreamed about being able to buy a dream house and never having a house payment again. [I am not sure if she was still asleep or was awake by the time she was dreaming about this!]
