Water

My dream was watery.

 First I was at a hotel trying to take a shower in a common shower room and it was so crowded I gave up. 


Then I went to the hotel desk and asked for the key to my room. They didn't even ask my name! Just handed it over and I went upstairs.

As I walked down the corridor I came upon a little stand selling tea and bagels and I really wanted some but they looked too plastic. So I walked on and saw more and more little stands but they were full of junk food and ice cream. Finally I found a stand selling popcorn and I thought i could buy some to take back to the room for dennis.

The pop corn guy listened to my request and immediately started a patter to up sell me. He kept showing me different shaped containers and saying for only a few dollars more my popcorn could come in one of these. When I pointed out that the containers looked different but all held the same amount of popcorn he went into an elaborate display of pop corn pouring from one container to the other to demonstrate, falsely, that they were bigger.

I lost interest and started to gather up my things to go. But they were everywhere. I would pickup something put it in my purse then see that I had left something else on the counter so I'd pick that up too. finally I had everything and the popcorn and my arms were so full. 

I walked out and around the building trying to find my room. It was gorgeous outside. Huge Blue and White mountains and water everywhere. In fact I was trying to go somewhere and the path led down into a big flat body of water. It looked like if you kept right on the path you could make your way through so I went.

The people ahead of me made it but the woman just ahead of me step off the path and whoosh she was swept away in what had now become dark turbulent water. I tried, feebly to rescue her, but I was swept off my feet too and all my things were swept out of my hands.

 I had to swim for it and was so grateful I'd had the practice. I'll say this for the water, it wasn't cold. Thank god. I was caught in a crowd of people trying to make their way out of the water by grabbing onto things and finally I was able to drag myself out to the ground. I was so tired and wet and dripping. But safe.

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

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

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...
