The beginning of this dream is somewhat muddled. I recall I was at the old house, and my wife was with me (though in this dream she was referred to as my girlfriend). We were hanging out downstairs at my childhood home, and someone opened a drawer and pulled out a LOTR dagger (from the United Cutlery run). For some reason we ended up hanging out in my bedroom.
It was me, my girlfriend and Micky Dolenz from The Monkees, circa 1987. We were talking about nothing all too important, when I decided to show him a rare Monkees record I had in the closet. (this item does not exist in real life; it was a figment of imagination for the dream). The cover was mostly blue, with a hand drawn image of the band in white Monkees shirts and black pants stepping out of a thin yellow circle. The title was in wavy block type and said "The Monkees Sing..." and the last word was something I don't recall.
"Oh wow!" he said. "I haven't seen one of these in about 20 years! What else you got in there?"
"Well, the rest of those swords are in here," I told him.
"Really?" At this point he jumped up and I pointed to the piled up boxes in the back of the closet. For some reason he looked at the walls of the closet and saw that it was covered in some sort of strange shelf paper. He ripped a piece off to uncover an older, 1940's blue cornflower style paper under that. He ripped off that to find an image that can only be described as a war bond advertisement.
"Oh wow, Bob! Oh wow!" he exclaimed as he uncovered image after image of war bond ads and farm equipment ads from the 1940s. This went on for quite a while, and my girlfriend told Mickey to stop saying "wow" because it was annoying.
Then my dad showed up and asked me what I was doing in the closet. "Dad, meet Mickey Dolenz." I said.
The two shook hands, my dad was awestruck, and the two of them carefully removed all the images from the closet walls. They also started cutting apart a large (poster sized; 2'x3') book of Disney stuff I had in there (again this item does not actually exist in real life as far as I know).
My final thought was that we could sell off all this stuff and pay off the house.
