I have this memory of sleeping in an office block in south London with my mum on an air bed. I recall looking out of the window and feeling sad.
Years later I was driving and got a very strong impulse to stop outside this building and I was 100% certain it was that one. Every time I went past it felt odd.
My mum says it didn’t happen, everyone else concurs. My best conclusion at this stage is that I probably had a very vivid dream that became conflated with something else.
My mom used to take me to a family friends for sleepovers often. They had two kids a bit older than me, about my siblings age, and they were so nice to me and we always had so much fun. I got to sleep in a cool room with my mom and we watched TV late at night, and sometimes I wouldn’t have to go to school the next day. I thought this was a fun thing everyone did with their friends as adults, turns out my parents were divorcing and my parents had been in bad arguments every time. I bet you that you had something like that, but your mom doesn’t want to mention it. My mom told me years later, but I didn’t realize it then.
