Recurring, bothersome dream

I had been at a work function, like a team-building event, with Matt. We were supposed to put together a skit using songs and... it had to contain certain content, but for the life of me I can't recall it. Anyways, it started raining while Matt and I were on our way to a practice, but the rain was stinging, sharp and burned when it hit your skin. Then, it turned to snow.

Then I found myself driving 3 friends home (Kevin from work, and old high school friends, Wendy G and Shelly C) on the snow-covered roads. While I was driving them home, I got to thinking about where I was going to spend the night, because I didn't have a home to go to (this is where the recurrent theme starts up).

It's the holidays and I seem to have no where to stay. Once again, I am faced with the decision to stay at my bio dad's house (same one I grew up in), but unfortunately, his beyotch wife is home (and some of her family). The house is large enough to stay there, however, I don't want to be there if she is there. In this dream, my dog Holly is there because she has just been released from the vet's office after a surgery. My aunt is codger-sitting and tells me over the phone that I can bring Hol to her apartment, so that seems like the option I will be taking. After several phone calls to friends, and trying to reach Mom & Bob, this is the only option. Due to a miscommunication involving Mom, Bob, Corey and Corey's mom, Corey won't even TAKE my calls. In this dream, Corey and I are not married, nor living together and for some reason, I just don't have a home.

I know I picked up Holly from my childhood home (on the sly), but I never made it to my aunt's. The dream ended in unmeaningful details.

I don't know why I'm always dreaming about my childhood home, the fact that I can't go there when Carol is there, but there is always something pulling me there. I don't know why I have dreams that I don't have a home-connection, like my own house, or even an apartment to call my own. Maybe someone reading this can give some insight?
