G's Dream - Bees

G woke up in the middle of the night and screamed out Mom. Thankfully, Dad woke up and found out what was wrong. He had a dream that a giant bee came to get his little brother. This is not the first time he's had a dream like this. This was his last dream. Of course, I can imagine that bees are one of his "monsters." He's scared of them. He keeps saying it's the one thing about summer that he hates and the reason he likes winter is because there's no bees.

An Adventure

I was in a car with my sister-in-law Sarah. She was on the phone. We were on the freeway and a big truck cut us off and pinned us between himself and the median. We went spinning out of control, but she wasn't phased at all and we ended up just continuing to drive.

I was on the phone with Noel and was walking on a narrow path with G. We were in a desert region. All of a sudden, G was up ahead a bit standing on sand and his feet were sinking. It was quicksand. "Get out quick, back up" I had to fly through the air to pull him out and we almost lost his shoes, but we had found them. As I was looking for my shoes, G started wallking toward the wal-mart that had a waterpark and rollercoaster. The same rollercoaster / waterpark was in an older dream of mine, but this one was on the wrong side of the road.

I won a car

There was a gentlemen who befriended me, or I started to work with him and I thought it kind of odd but didn't really worry about it. Then, two days later, I went to a seminar. I was sitting in the back row. After a few speakers this man stood up and he pointed right at me in the back row. I stood up and said "I knew it," like there was something up, but it turned out I won a car - a Honda Odyssey - and 2 years worth of gas (which was a few hundred thousand dollars). I should have known it was a dream when the car came in a box and I had to blow it up. Someone tried to get me to buy something, but I said I had to use the money to pay down some debt first. Also, I couldn't drive a few hundred miles for a vacation because that would use up most of my 2 years of free gas in one shot.

Then - Little One woke up at 4 and cried and cried, so my dream changed....

I was watching a reality show like Project Runway and was watching all these crazy outfits made. My babysitter was there and she kept moving a baby pool from one corner of the yard to another, following the shade. I couldn't understand how she did it without ripping the bottom of the pool, but it worked. Of course, it worked better if you took the kids out first. Then, back to the fashion show, we were all sitting around a table and everyone started levitating as part of the trick. One crazy costume looked like an upside down cake but made out of some red metal material. The host didn't believe everyone could levitate so he started running around the table like a maniac screaming "it's impossible." Of course, he was a short, dwarf-sized naked man who was so hairy it was gross.

The Family Business

This dream was from Tuesday night so I've lost some of the details:

I went to work for my family - my Dad's side of the family. My Aunt and Uncle were there along with two of my cousins and my one cousin's wife. We worked out of their house and everything was white. I had to fill out subpoenas and I should have known what to do, but they just kept yelling at me. They kept saying I was doing it wrong, but wasn't given the chance.

Last night I was tossing and turning all night thinking of my new boss's health information and all the ways I messed up his files. It just kept me up all night long and I was picturing bills and Explanations of Benefits all night long.

Note: Both of these probably have to do with my new responsibility of a side job I am doing for someone and the stress of starting something new, as opposed to knowing everything I need to since I've been at my present job for 5 years. I hate that newness feeling. I know once I get in the groove it will all be ok, but I hate this newness feeling.....

Thunder Canyon

I dreamt I just met someone and was getting married, but we had to go down Cedar Point's Thunder Canyon. The ride started out on the top and you went down the hill to get splashed and there was no way out. I wasn't allowed to not ride the ride - I had to do it. The ride didn't quite look like the one at Cedar Point, but I got just as wet.

Note: Maybe I was worried about it raining today and possibly biking to work. I started to, I dropped Little One off at the babysitters and then....went home. Thank goodness or I WOULD have gotten soaked.

Weekend Dreams

I dreamt I had a conversation with B. Obama. I was running for office in the County where I live, some kind of fiscal officer, and I didn't feel up to the task. Maybe he was giving me a pep talk but I don't really remember what our conversation was about - it was definitely not about his potential presidency.

I was driving down a street that was really busy and had a big hill. I had to turn right. I went scuba diving, but it wasn't really scuba diving - a guy was running a tourist attraction. It was enclosed and you breathed air from a tube that was hooked to the surface and you just swam around under water. When we got out I asked how much it was and the guy said, oh $1 for each of you so $10-15, but Dave thought that was too cheap for what it cost the guy to run the equipment so he gave him $150. I was mad at that, but Dave didn't care. Then I was walking around a mall, but more like the mall at a casino so there weren't too many stores, but there was a lot of beautiful decor and I was wearing an evening gown getting ready to go to dinner. (Maybe I'm thinking second honeymoon ---- hmmmm......)

Note: Maybe both of these dreams about money stem from the fact that Dave and I were fantasizing about what we would do if we won the lottery. Oh that would be fun.

Crazy Cakes

So my son woke up at 5 am crying. I brought him into bed with me and he was sleeping nicely until I had to move because I can't sleep on my back and then he wouldn't go back to sleep and he wanted to go downstairs and I said "no way" and he cried in his crib which meant that I didn't sleep for at least 1 1/2 hours this morning so I'm tired.

And I'm addicted (for the time being) to a game called Crazy Cakes on Pogo. So as I'm laying there unable to sleep I just keep seeing little pastries and having to decide what flavor they need to be but I can't get to them and I lose the game because I CAN'T MOVE.

I'm so tired. I don't know how I'm going to make it through the day. He's so lucky he's cute or I might have had to murdalize him.

G's dream - school

G woke me up this morning telling me about his dream: His school was in a treehouse. There were big buzzing bugs that had big stingers on the front of their heads but he knocked it down and didn't get stung.

My New Job No. 2

I had a second job. I was selling custom-printed media - envelopes, mailers, etc. I was going to a mall and doing cold-calls. (Note: I hate it when they come to my place of business so this is kinda ironic.) I went to one store and then to a second. I was wearing a blue shirt and thought I looked good until I looked in a mirror and realized that the shirt was see-through and you could definitely see my white bra. I was in a club of some kind and it hit me all the custom flyers I could make for them to increase their business. They could have specialty-themed nights and really get a lot of people into their club. I knew one of the guys working there from high school. I kept having to sell the items over and over. I had a sheet of people I already did business with and copies of their cards to show.

Babies

I dreamt my co-worker had her baby, or was having her baby. Her water broke and she went into labor but was already at the hospital. She had someone with her to take care of her. She hadn't called her boyfriend yet, but did later on when he was brought by his Dad. I stayed there as long as I could, but had to go home to my kids.

The Mansion

I was in my Baubie and Zayde's house. It was a mansion and it was huge. The artwork came to life. A boy was talking to me and following me around the hallway. I was walking in a store looking for a chair for G. I found a kid's chair and it was 2x more expensive then an adult chair but I bought it anyway. I was walking down the hall and the entire hallways was pink marble. I found a room at the end of a hall with a tv the size of a small movie theater. It was my grandparents' room. I was trying to bathe little one but the shower kept going on the carpet, it wasn't enclosed. I asked my brother to help out because I couldn't figure it out.

G's Nightmare

I had another erosion with my map dot fingerprint dystrophy this morning. I had a small one on the fifth of July, but this one was a doozy (pain being a 9) - and still hurting 2.5 hours later. The pain is different with the muro 128, not as sandy, but more of an intensely dry feeling. I think this is because of how much I was awake last night and not just keeping my eyes closed.

2 am: G called out "Mom, can I come in your bed?" "No." "Come sleep with me." (fine) It turns out he saw flying things and colors in his room, oh, and extinct things. There was something in the hallway. I slept with him for a bit and went back to bed. A few minutes later I hear it again so I have him come into my bed. He falls asleep. At 3 I wake up and take him back into his bed. The weight of his sleeping body was comforting next to me and in my arms as I was carrying him back to bed but he keeps me awake and I get no sleep.

He remembers the flying things this morning. Nothing to do except help him find coping mechanisms.

Now, if I can only figure out why Little One says "Scared" when I put him down to bed every night.

Crack and Juvie

This was a third person dream:

There were three girls in a car and when they got pulled over they had to figure out what to do with the crack they just smoked. Obviously, they went to jail but one girl went to juvie. It was very strict and the halls were twisty and turny and every other door was locked to prevent running away. Someone helped the one girl run away, but she was caught. She ran away a second time, and this time actually made it out with the aid of a volunteer at the center. There wasn't a lot of supervision, it looked more like a middle school.

I think I had the part about the bus because Little One is amazed with them right now.

There was a bus, and it was flying with flames or through flames to another part of an island. No one saw it until it landed, but it was an awesome sight. There was a dog who was getting married and going down a really steep slide. I had a job, catering or selling something. I was in a room talking to someone and got mad at them because they weren't treating me well. I gave her a piece of my mind. It turned out that it was my business partner and my next client. I had to eat humble pie but I insisted that I should go still even though everyone else thought I should stay back. It turned out it was a good thing because the lady had apologized to me and said that she was in the wrong.

My New Boyfriend/Job

My neighbor (not my real neighbor, though his profession is right) professed that he liked me. He wanted to be my boyfriend. I agreed, but I kept asking him why he used to hate me and now he wanted to be my boyfriend. He was nervous and shy and didn't want to tell me. I told him I would be his boyfriend but that I had to go to the prom with another boy I had already asked, and he had to just deal with it. He was crying a bit and sad that I was still going with this other guy, but I said that a promise is a promise. I also kept telling him that he needs to talk to me. It was very sweet, really. We both worked at the police station. It was a new job for me. I had to buzz people in and as I was writing checks I kept forgetting to write paychecks.
