Dream: I invited a prosecutor I work with daily, who I’ll call Ms. Helpful, to come to dinner at my house.  Unfortunately, I still lived with my parents.  My parents lived in a very nice house, but I was embarrassed that they were not making more of an effort to be hostpitable to my friend.  My parents sat in front of the TV and did not get up to meet her.  I told my parents that we were hungry, but they did not help cook or find food.  The prosecutor then went into the bathroom, left the door open, and I watched her peeing from where I stood in the kitchen.  Then she came out and my parents suggested that we make pizza.  The pizza kit we had involved significant preparation, and I was surprised that the prosecutor didn’t seem to know how to put it together.  She acted like she knew what she was doing, but I noticed that she was puting the pizza together upside down.

Analysis: The prosecutor in this dream is someone with whom I get along, but at times I think she tries to suck up too much.  She always holds herself out as being extra helpful, but I have rarely seen a case where she actually helps the way she says she will.  In general I think I have some anxiety about friends meeting my parents and going to their house.  Soon I think my boyfriend is going to come to their house and meet them for the first time, and I’m nervous about it.
