Memory Lane

I was in a play. I was buying "boss's day" cards and the one card I found was very funny and I thought PMG would like it a lot - for its sarcastic wit. Two people, a guy and a girl, each had to return cards as well and were also there. I had bought the wrong card at first and returned it. Then I bought another card and realized I wanted to get the third card instead, but instead of returning it, I just wanted to pay the difference between them. My high school friend, Paul C. was there. He had "quick changes" to do and wore about 10 different outfits. I vividly remember him walking down a hallway with his football player physique and all those clothes on him.

I was on vacation and we were at my mom's. I got something oily on my outfit (it was a white short jumpsuit set) and couldn't wear it because the oil got over the right side of my chest. All my other clothes were dirty too. I had forgotten to do laundry the night before. I asked my mom if I could borrow something and we were looking in drawer after drawer but couldn't find any summer clothes at all. One drawer was small and had a mustard yellow robe in it.

Then I was walking out of a store and saw a friend of mine from LA, Conrad H. (pictured above). He was with his brother but it wasn't his brother, it was a friend and they found it funny that I thought it was his brother, who also happened to be there. We went to a restaurant to catch up with each other.

Near death and a bicycle

I was lying still, unable to move. My leg was crushed by something and my ankle was broke in millions of pieces. I was in a room with about 3-4 people. I called Dave but in the middle I stood up, coughing blood and collapsed - paralyzed. I was near death and all I could think about was that I wanted to get something tattood on me. I decided I needed my boys and I was searching and searching for pictures of them (Note: This is probably from last night that I felt the need to search through pictures) but I couldn't find the ones that I was looking for. In their respective pictures, they were both 18 months old. I decided to get their initials tattood on my back shoulder blades. No one could understand why I wanted them tattood.

Then I was at the olympics watching the bicycle racing. I was talking to one of the racers and she said that I'd be able to race too, that it wasn't that hard. They had made it to the semi-finals. I watched their race. Out first came two racers who were there solely to stop the team from racing, trying their hardest. Oh, one team only raced at a time - it was a timed race. Then the team came out. They biked very close together, at times almost looking like they were all on one bicycle - except that the person in front would keep moving to be the person in back and so on it went so that not one person would have to bear the burden of being the lead biker.

Moped

I remember nothing from the dream last night except that I was riding a moped. I kept getting on and off of it.

A Hospital and Reminiscing

I went to the hospital to see a friend. My rabbi was there and he was in the critical care. The hospital decided that I needed to be there to for my leg. I wasn’t able to get up and walk around, even though I did still. I had to lay still or I could lose my legs. They switched us to another room on another floor and I was next to the rabbi and we had lots of visitors and people coming in and out to see us. I hadn’t realized that my condition was serious. (Note: This dream was a lot more involved. Maybe it just moved at a slower pace.)

Then the dream switched to a basement of a friend’s house. They were having a garage sale and I was adding my own items to it. The first person I was giving things to I knew would pay me my money if anything sold. I wasn’t sure about the second person. One of the things I put on the table was a very large fake diamond-looking item that was a bit dusty. I was showing some of these friends my makeup book of the things I’ve worked on but all the pictures were fuzzy and out of focus. I realized that someone had taken pictures underneath and moved them to the top so I found the pictures I was looking for but by then they weren’t interested and I was pushing my work on them for them to see.

Note: I think I had the first part of the dream for two reasons. Firstly, my left hip was hurting last night and the pain probably infiltrated my brain a bit. Second, I found out that someone I knew (didn’t know well, but she was only 39) died last week suddenly of a heart aneurism. She was a dance instructor – in good shape, very, very sweet person. It’s very sad. I’m not afraid of death but I’m afraid of leaving loose ends, having my family have more problems of trying to figure things out, financially or knowing where things are. I hope that when I die it’s a bit slower in terms of being able to say goodbye or tell people those last minute things of where things can be found. I’m afraid of missing out on my boys’ lives. I know I won’t go any time soon, but you just never know and hearing of this person dying probably brought some of those fears into my dream.)

Wednesday's Dream - Work, Work, Work

I was working at a law firm and I was working on about 50 or 60 legal briefs. Each one was only 1-2 pages long with the same exhibits for each but the 1-2 pages were minutely different and had to be changed. I then changed jobs in the middle and went to a new firm but kept working on the briefs. I was told that it was under the table and we couldn’t let the old firm know and we couldn’t charge. They had to be filed in the matter of hours and I forgot that I had to make copies for service and create designation forms. I had to sneak back into the old firm to get something.

City of Ember

Last night, my husband and I watched City of Ember. We rarely agree on what movie to watch so it was a treat that we both wanted to see this. We had tried getting our older son to watch it over the weekend for our weekly "movie night" but he just wasn't going for it. It turns out that that was a wise decision. It was really above a child's intellect. Parts of it were just plain confusing, other parts were predictable. Overall it was a nice movie and worth the price - $0 thanks to http://www.redbox.com. I woke up this morning and had dreamt through the movie all night and changed it and owned parts of it. My husband, also strangely enough, also dreamt of the movie. Odd, very odd.

In my version: I was the leading girl and then there was a leading boy. He played in a rock band or was famous or something. He took a liking to me and we were playing pool. We were out past curfew and had to hide continuously throughout the dream.

I was in a dentist office and no one would see me. I was waiting but everyone was just talking. I couldn't find my chart so I went to the front office, which was a different company then the back, and they told me to go find the person in charge of my insurance and we'd go find the chart together. We went to a back room and there were stuffed animals that had never been given as gifts that had tags on them. I just kept looking at these gifts and didn't know whey they hadn't been handed out. I couldn't find my chart and I was becoming furious. I don't remember what happened next but my friend's brother, D.A., had a crush on me.

Note: I think I had this dream because I had a follow up to my eye surgery today. My doctor is leaving and I'm worried about the next doctor I'll have.
