Pizza and Beer Dream

I get off work and its been a tough day. Some others come back to my sterile hotel room and we are waiting for the rest of the group. We are hungry and one of them says, "I hear they have good pizza around here, lets get pizza and beer."

 I am up for that and we all agree so we start the pizza ordering ceremony: what do you like on your pizza, how many slices do you want? And what's the number, all that.

Then someone comes from the front desk to the door to tell me I have a phone call. I follow them up to the front desk and its someone from work. They heard that one of the administrators is quitting and they want me to help them with a form applying for the soon to be ex-administrator's housing.

They are having trouble with one of the boxes and I start to suspect that the form they are using has degraded from being printed out and copied so I tell them to go to fedconnect.gov and download the form again.

Finally, I get off the phone and go back to the room (I have been wandering all over the halls and parking lot with the cell phone pressed to my ear trying to hear them over the freeway noise from the freeway that runs next to the hotel.) Everyone is waiting, impatiently for me, so we get up and go right away. It's a good group and includes my daughter-in-law, husband, and people from work.

We are walking down the left side of a very long empty street. Its an early spring evening, warm and the light is diffuse and golden. Sometimes people on bikes or skate boards pass us very quickly. Sometimes we get right off the side walk because they are going so fast. I remember one was a very muscular young woman towing her skateboard riding friend at a fast pace.

I had been moving fast too and got ahead of everyone so I slowed down and waited. Soon two of my group came up red faced and puffing. So we walked more slowly and finally reached the town and went into a bar.

 I think we are stopping for a drink and we find it's pretty empty inside. We get a drink and move over to sit at a large grouping of chairs and tables. My companion sits in the middle of a group of empty chairs then spreads her legs and arms out to cover as many of them as possible to save them for our group. But oh no, there is a much bigger crowd now and they are pushing up to our saved space and then a fierce little girl walked over and tried to take one of the chairs my friend was saving.

I went to help and the fierce girl grabbed my hand and tried to pry it away from the chair by digging in with her finger nails. Shocking! So I took my companion and we went across the room to a recently vacated table with low stools and chairs around it and sat there instead. There were still plates and dirty cutlery on the table so I started straightening up when some more people from our group arrived. I was surprised to see my boss was there, with red hair, and then my sons and their friends showed up. My sons looked all of ten and had hairless chests bared. I think they wanted some of the pizza we still hadn't picked up. Oh that pizza order was waiting a long time and I woke up worrying about whether they might have thrown the pizza away or not.

Two Dreams and a Baby

Image
The dream was that there was a woman with six children and a man with six children. The woman's children and the man's children were all paired up, in each family the children had formed firm friendships with one other child. Then the two families combined and it was chaos. The children's bonds were broken and they began forming bonds with just anybody, even outsiders.   The family was completely torn asunder when three of the girls left the family and joined a college. From the college they graduated, but they didn't want to see their families at all. They were marching in a procession down a sidewalk and up a hill. When their family came close they broke and fled like crows scattering across the hillside, in flight.

Walking on a Cloudy Day Dream

Image
In my dream, I went out walking one morning. I wasn't really fully prepared, I had on rubber flip flops, but my real shoes were in my purse. I had the newspaper because I had been reading it and there were a few very interesting events going on in the big city.   One was a tiny sword show which included a silver cutlass.

And one was train ride to under the mountain, though that seemed a little dodgy since you know what lives under the mountain. I have nearly gone on that very ride but stepped off at the last minute.

Cracked Ipad, 280Z, and Brewery Parties

Image
I n my dream we moved back into a party house that I used to go to in Riverside many years ago (though not really). The house was like 4 stories tall  and very old and partially dilapidated. I remembered from the past (dreams and life) that the upper stories were rooms and rooms of dusty lives left right up to the moment they were abandoned. You could walk through them like a museum spying on other peoples lives. But the floors and stairs were old and unstable, it was very dangerous to walk those hallways but so interesting that you had to walk them. The ground floor was the one we lived on the most. The front half was a huge living room/dining room. It was kind of like a furniture store with couches, tables, and chairs scattered everywhere. There were dining tables and chairs lined up so that at least 50 people could all eat at once. We were very excited to be back there and having a chance to live where so many wonderful times were had. The plot was that I fell a...
