Dream Food

I dreamed it was night and I was trying to make my way home on foot. I was at the place where Monterey Drive intersected Ivy street, a place I went to frequently as a child growing up. The intersection was covered with branches and bushes growing out over the street and there was a lot of traffic going fast. I wanted to cross the street to visit Grandma on the hill but I was scared I'd be hit by a car. I kept watching the headlights appear suddenly within a few feet then zoom past. It was a real white knuckle situation but somehow I made it.

I walked to the driveway only to discover someone had built a bike store at the foot of the driveway. I thought what a great idea. Grandma will like this. I went up to her house and opened the door. Inside was the kitchen and I knew at once something was bad. The kitchen was full of dead goldfish and koi. Inside tanks where the water had dried up or on the floor. It smelled fishy and Grandma's bedroom door was closed. I called and called for her but she didn't answer. I wondered when I had last visited, when anyone had last visited and I feared the worse.

Earlier in the dream we were vacationing and went to a brewery. I was sitting at the bar with all of you and next to me sat an old black man. He started singing and I realized he was something slim. He was in great voice and he sang me the blues from the chair right next to mine. I couldn't believe it and was so incredibly honored. 

He was stuck in that resort town and wanted to get home but traveling through that white community was dangerous for him,  black man on his own. So my family was going to help him. 

The beer at the bar was good, but the dream food was freaking fantastic. They had a grill back there and a huge list of grilled dishes, but the best grilled dish I had was the cauliflower. They held the cauliflower up to my nose to sniff and it smelled so fresh and sweet. It tasted nutted and delicious too.

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...
