A dream several days later brought me back to the Cosby apartment.

after looking at a place that was basically a poorly lit dump, I was back to the cosby place for a second opinion. It was a relativly small apartment. Not to impressive but not to bad. I noticed stairs that I had not in my other dream (its odd how I almost make references to old dreams in my current ones).
"Oh there is an upstairs?"
"Oh thats just the bathroom" Mrs. Cosby responded. Sure enough, when we walked up, the 2nd floor consisted of only a bathroom. "Do you want this place?" she asked.
Compared to another place I had looked at, it seemed like a well lit, cute little place so I said "Let me think about it." I talked it over with my mom
She said "its only 300 dollars and the tennant is Bill Cosby, how can you go wrong?!"
She was right, plus I could make love to Emeline in a one person apartment and I started to think of how I could set things up in way that would not be to loud for the Cosbys to hear, since they would be living next door. figuring it was mine. Yes, I would take the apartment! I walked back, ready to tell Cosby, ideas popping in my head of what I would do with the place, which was seeming better every minute. To my utter shock, disappointment and suprise, two (white) people walked out, they had purchased the room.
I walked back, totally bumming. I saw the two talking, a lady and man, and they were hitting it off with the cosby(s) as if they were old chums.
I went back to the garden and was so disapointed, talking to my mom.
I went back to the apartment, I don't think a day had passed, and there were already posters on the wall, it looked like the boy was moving in. It was all becoming clear. The mom was the one who had helped the boy find the apartment. the boy was just a lazy college student. I knew he would not appreciate the place as much as me and I was bumming even more. I found out that the mom was rich but the boy mentally handicapped.
Thoughts of the mom and man flashed in my head. I went back to my mom and complained "They got that apartment because the lady holds a place of status! I told Mrs. Cosby I would come back here after thinking about her offer and she sold it while I was thinking, as I was going back to tell her I wanted it! It is unfair, she gave me no time to think!" I pictured the mom smiling, with the son again.
"You should tell Mr. Cosby" my mom said.
"Yah I will!" something deep within me figured he would understand and I got excited to tell him my story. all of a sudden i was in a rather empty apartment. how it was all of a sudden empty is beyond me because obviously it was purchased, and looking cuter than before, unless it was my house or another apartment, can't remember.) anyways, I was walking down the stairs thinking "i can pay the first two months rent no prob, 600 dollars, as if I was assuming Mr. Cosby would understand my problem and give me the place. I have enough in the bank, he will take me no prob once I explain to him my story, going over my complaint again as I said to myself.
I recalled hearing about the mentally challanged boy and his jar of pennies at some point in the dream. At this point I realized he would be using it as a secruity deposit of sorts, and that he would be using it as a "bid". I guess people were bidding on the apartment now, even though no one else was in the dream. The winning bidder agreed that the winning amount would be the security deposit. "Oh I could easily beat that boy!" I said!
I was getting ready to speak to Mr. Cosby, I could sense his presence as I got closer. I remember feeling as if I were on the show at this point, even in the dream I sensed this but the atomsphere still had my own unique twist, heavily, expecting something very Cosby like (humourous) to happen soon.
An after dream thought: cosby had sort have been like that dude in wizard of oz who grants everyone something, totally out of sight. but for some reason I sensed he was in the garden, even ready to see him there. I got excited as I rounded the front of the house, ready to talk to him, buses and double decker buses pulling in the driveway as I thought "why can't emeline travel directly to my house from the airport?" indeed the dream was now taking place in the front of my house (real life: she is flying to boston and I pick her up to come back to my house in Ct). numerous buses were in the driveway, I was sure they contained various travellers. But in my post dream state, I think I sensed within the dream that the buses were rather empty. That is the last thing I remember of the dream. A lot of the dream seemed subtly cosby..as if at points, I was going over the possible outcome and some of those outcomes seemed very Cosby like in the verbal transaction. I remember towards the end, thinking of a very odd commercial within the dream about making sure you had enough money in your (citizens?) bank account, cause if you did not have over a cerian amount (something like 100) enough money, even a 75 cent song coming out of the account would make you think twice. It was a weird way to combine the two companies, a bank and downloading music company. pssh, stupid downloading music company...duh citizens, I have enough money in my account..buses pulling into diveway..dream fading...

I'll have a look at this as soon as I can.

I am assuming you are a student?

Are you handicapped in some way?

If it's the case, then there might be a good offer that you will reject first but the more you will be thinking of it the more it'll appeal to you. Then you'll probably want to change your mind just to find out that someone else has already got the job through the back door...but you are sure about your skills and qualifications, so you are going to get the job no matter what...

My first impressions were similar, and there could certainly be something going on along those lines, but the more I think about it, the more I am wondering if the handicapped college student is a reflection of carlfloydfan, an aspect of himself that he does not recognize, perhaps.

Of course, there could be layers to the dream which incorporate both of these possibilities.

Thoughts about that ... Peri, carlfloydfan?

I was certainly not taking a jab at your intelligence, I wouldn't do that.

Could that be so?
