dream again

I dreamed last night that I was going on a trip, possibly camping, with a large group of people, maybe 9 or 10. Somehow we were all going in one car. We got to the place we were spending the night which was somebody's house. For some reason there were two fancy coffee pots in the trunk, still in boxes. I remember wondering why we needed two. We all changed into out pajamas and stood around on the porch discussing what our plans were going to be. Parts of the porch were bouncy. For some reason I was wearing a night gown. Then I got cold so I put on a jacket, which was a camel tan color and very comfy. (Too bad I don't have such a jacket in real life.) For some reason I had three pairs of gloves in the pockets. We were all going to sleep on the floor downstairs. When we got downstairs, I saw that there were more stairs going down to another basement.

I feel very specifically that the porch faced south. I almost always know what direction things are in dreams. In the visiting Jim and Amy dream their house faced north. Isn't that useful?
