Another Roller Coaster Ride


There were four people, kids maybe. I was standing on a street that had a school on it and the kids were playing by themselves - no grownups watching over them. The kids were all very different - different ages and races, sex. No two were alike in the least. There were a bunch of parents milling around outside and there were cars parked along the street. One of the things they had in common was their love of roller coasters. Not everyone could go on it, but it was a fun ride.
Switch to: Two of the kids, a boy and a girl, went to the boy's home city. He was royalty, or something like it. The house was gorgeous - very well decorated. Everyone was friendly. They were taking a tour of the city. For some reason there was one street that was supposed to be very special, but the tour guide just took us to an alley and was showing us how she divided up all the garbage - recyclables and what-not. (Note: Maybe this is in my dream because I can feel my carbon footprint getting bigger and not smaller. I want to recycle but Little One isn't ready to stop playing with the recylables yet.) She had a box and a milk jug and was showing them how she separated everything. Then she took them to a huge, monstrous machine that made everything like new again. It took garbage and made it usable. It took food that's rotten and made it delicious again, especially bananas. She was telling them everything you could do with a revamped banana - all the cream pies and good food you could make.
Then the two kids met another boy. The one boy they met was very tall, and the one who started off in the dream was much shorter - about the same height as the girl. The two boys started kissing. It was a very odd sight only because they didn't really kiss on the lips - it was kind of all over the place. Then, later that night at home, the shorter boy kissed the girl too.
Since this is the 2nd dream I've had with a roller coaster, this is what I found online: "Roller coaster: Dreaming about a roller coaster ride seems to symbolize the emotional ups and downs that a person is experiencing. Although, this ride can be fun, it can also seem out-of-control and even be a frightening experience. As a dream symbols it suggests that the dreamer may need to achieve greater emotional balance. The severe changes in mood and temperament are draining and unproductive and maybe highlighted by the roller coaster dream."
Hmm....seems to be on point.
