A Great Vacation

Before my main dream I had a dream that Little One's head was in the microwave and G was closing the door - I was yelling at him to open it - open it. Just then Dave walked into the bedroom and I had woken up - it was weird.

I had to get to the airport. I was going to Las Vegas. I had taken a taxi, but had forgotten just about everything - my purse even. Traffic was awful since it was the day before Thankgiving. Traffic was a dead standstill and I didn't know how I was ever going to make my flight.

I flew to Vegas and met up with some old friends - Nancy Roberts was there along with a bunch of people from my past. It was the greatest time ever. We were having water gun fights in the hotel and going to classes. There was a guy there keeping a blog about everything. I knew I had to come back on Sunday and I was afraid I wasn't going to get everyone's contact info and not everyone was on FB. We were in the hotel room and David Siegel and a friend of his whom I knew walked in. He had a great big smile on his face. I asked about his sister, Jill. We were at a restaurant and Laura Dineen walked in with her two daughters and they were beautiful. I was at a class and there were 6 f us there, but I don't remember what the class was about. My friend from England was there as well. I didn't want it to end.

A Hawaiin Vacation

Dave and I were on vacation in Hawaii. We met some friends and we took a day-long hike through rainforests. We had to jump some huge waterfalls in order to get where we were going, one of which had a very unsure landing. I remember being afraid of the height but jumping anyway. Then I met my Aunt and Uncle (Bonnie and Ken) and we went on another hike and this time we had to walk up a steep rock slope and then go down the other side, which was just as steep and we were supposed to go head first, but I turned around because there was no way I was going head first.

Back to school

[NO PICTURE FITS HERE]

I was in college. I was 37, like I am, but I was in college with younger kids. I was taking notes on my yellow pad when I realized that everyone else had laptops. I kept walking in and out of classrooms and I was taking a literature class but didn't know exactly what time it started. I think I slept there and was looking for a place to wash up or change my clothes and the classroom was empty. The classroom was one of those large auditorium style lecture classrooms. Then G showed up and we were finding his class. He was in 1st grade but the first grade math was full and I didn't want him to take the class with the easier math because it would be too easy for him.

Then I was at my house and a gaggle girls, about 6-7 years old, came in to play. One of them was the neighbor girl but she was really shy. Then Kim K. showed up (my old next door neighbor whom I used to babysit for).

Next I was at a rehearsal dinner before a wedding. Everyone was wearing black and white but there was one person in the buffet line who stood out in terms of color, including her makeup and hair color.

[Note: In my mind, I think having the pad of paper and not a computer symbolizes I feel that I don't have what everyone else has - this dream might be a money-stress dream.]

Ghosts from the past

I was passing out mail down a street and all of a sudden my ex from 1990 Sean B. was there with one of his skinhead friends, one of the twins - can't remember his name. Sean had a pierced lip and his lip was cracked and bleeding a bit in the middle. At first I avoided him and then just didn't care. I passed right by him to deliver the mail and said "hey". He said "So, you want me just for my money, don't you." I didn't. He hugged me and said he was joking and that he learned that joke for me.

Plastic Paperclips

I was at work and I was going to get an envelope from my supply room. Someone had changed it and had reorganized it. Out of a 10 foot wall of supplies, 8 feet were taken up by party items like paper plates, curled ribbon for balloons, things you would find at a party store. The actual office items were in a 2' cabinet that was really long and tall and stacked so high to the top that you couldn't reach anything that you needed without having a step ladder and all the paperclips were replaced with those cheap plastic paperclips that you used once and then threw away because no one ever wants to use them again. And they got all excited about putting a picture frame in the door of the toilet stall which made no sense because the toilet was in the supply room so there was no privacy anyways (except for the walls of the stall). I got into a shouting match with the girl who changed the supplies around and I quit right there and then. I couldn't handle the paper clips.

My boss said that it's a control dream - I can see that.

I want to sleep

Saturday night I dreamed that I died. It was natural. I was surrounded by a lot of people and was in a classroom setting. Everyone who went there was going to die (well, of course, because in the end - doesn't everyone). I woke up as I was breathing my last breaths and was thinking, how does it feel to be dead. I didn't move a muscle, I was heavy, but my heart was still beating and I knew I wasn't dead.

Last night I had a chaotic dream. It kept me up all night and it was mostly random. A lot of voting was taking place. Different kinds of contests. Then I found myself a guest in a mansion. I was on a street that I wasn't even allowed to drive or park on. It was beautiful - museum-like with monstrous elephant and tiger sculptures in the yards. I was a guest and had entered into the house but I don't know what I was doing there, but there were a lot of dogs around.
