My longtime friend and I are in the apartment we've shared for nearly six years.  Within moments, the space seems to expand and I find myself walking from room to room.  To my surprise, I discover an extra room in the apartment (how had we missed this!?).  Excitedly, I rushed back to J to report my findings.  I lead her to the newly-discovered room and, in disbelief, watched it expand right before my eyes.  In addition to growing larger, the room becomes increasingly ornate and I  make note of the beautiful tiles appearing on the wall and floor.  I also notice a door which leads out to a large parking lot which I immediately recognize as a mall parkade.

I am scarcely able to contain my excitement as I realize that we no longer have to move!  My bliss quickly turns to confusion, however, when I realize that J and I are not alone.  Two college students now occupy one of the bedrooms, and I am left wondering how our home could have transformed into a dorm!  Within seconds, the entire apartment has taken on the appearance of a government office.  People of all ages and a variety of ethnic backgrounds are milling about.  I turn to J and ask, "so, now you're turning the apartment into an immigration center?!"  Seemingly unfazed by what we are witnessing, J proudly responds "yes".  I awaken from the dream feeling rather disturbed.
 

A few days pass before I share the dream with J.  It had been some time since we'd last discussed our plan to move onto separate homes and my residual discomfort with the dream only added to my hesitance to broach the subject. When I finally did recount the details of my dream, J suggested that we sit down.  She then proceeded to tell me that she'd found an apartment situated in a greater complex that housed a university campus, shopping mall, and government office.  Almost before blinking, I asked if the government office happened to be an immigration centre.  A quick visit to google confirmed my suspicion and replaced it with the goofiest of grins!

Also noteworthy is the fact that the apartment for which J planned to apply was in a neighbourhood near her boyfriend, a man of Turkish origin...like the tiles I'd seen in the dream.  Just as predicted, J's application was accepted and she has since settled into her new home.  And, as it turns out, I did find an extra room!  Within a few weeks of the dream, I received funding which allowed me to stay on in our current apartment.    My son moved from a make-shift bedroom into my old room, and I took over J's room :)

This concludes my documentation of yet another dream come true!
