Feeding the Baby

In my  dream  I was going back to my room in a big old house. I came in and it looked like mine. Kind of rumpled and dusty with a yellow light from the old kind of light bulbs.  Dusk was creeping in and I went to the back of the room to close the windows. It was hard to get the windows secure they kept slipping away from me and as I looked out back I felt the menace.  The back yard was a field of dried out fox tails surrounded by a low shambling wood picket fence. The neighbors houses were close by and in disrepair. I really wanted to lock them out. Got the doors secure and turned and started walking to the front of the room when I heard a noise. I turned around and there was a man in the room walking toward me.I tried to scream and only a little sound came out.  I tried harder and started to make some noise. Then Dennis shook me awake. He said I was moaning in my sleep and was very hard to wake up.

Last night I dreamed that my Mom, Judy, bought a used bookstore. Now this bookstore was located in a vast marketplace of secondary vendors. It was very hard scrabble with cardboard buildings and odd vendors selling used clothing, arts, crafts and food. It might have been a little like the Black Oaks Renaissance fair if it was set in today and the products offered were the remains of the past. Mom's bookstore was one of the better buildings. It was made from wood and had windows, doors, and such. There was a stair to the second floor, but when I tried to go up it I discovered it was a fake. There was no second floor. Used books were sold and they were so awesome. I remember finding large stacks of my favorite childhood books. I was placing them out on the floor to make sure they sold well. There was a horrible man in my  dream  and this marketplace was not some place that the police went to. He was gross and demeaning. I hated having to deal with him because he though...

Horrible  dreams . I'm not going to tell you what was happening to me in the  dream , it's that bad. I was aware that I was  dreaming  though and I called out, "Help!" "Help me Mommy!"  In my head I knew that calling out in my  dreams  often wakes Dennis up and he in turn wakes me up. But this time I didn't wake him up and he didn't wake me up. It gives me shivers. Then I dreamed I was hanging out in a huge R.V. with all these different people. The only one I recognized was Mary K. my "dotted line" supervisor from work. She was driving the R.V. and taking us to a spot she really liked.  At the start of the trip things were cool but as the trip dragged on and on and on the waste baskets filled up too much and the sinks started to back up and the people spread out their messes on the floor. There were little kids and they were getting so cranky and their parents were being irresponsible and not taking care of them.  At the e...

Last night I dreamed my Uncle Bill came to visit me. He brought a picture of me as a child and some information about the time he flew to my elementary school in a jet and took all the kids for a ride. I was just blown away. I kept saying, it really happened? I thought it was a  dream !  I looked terrible in the picture.

I dreamed I was commuting home from Stanford. There were four people in the car and I was sitting with a young man talking about political theory. I was explaining to him how the continuum of far right to far left would lead either to clusters of people out on the ends or clusters in toward the middle. I told him that the problem we had now was that with the clusters so far out toward the ends there was no room for compromise and what we needed to do was move people inward to the more moderate middle. He was so intrigued and we had a great connection. As we continued on our commute it turned into a bike ride across the bridge between Ivy St and Olivewood Ave. I went up to Grandma's house and into the kitchen. I was standing at the sink and Grandpa was cooking up fried chicken at the stove (in the cast iron skillet) while grandma puttered around and I notice the young man had followed me into the house. I was so confused about why he had followed me in but excited to continu...
