Marsha Marsha Marsha

I was in another place, Lincnoln I think. I was with another woman. It was Ryan, I and the girls. I think we were inside a four walled structure with no roof. I even think there was grass on the ground. Maybe the walls were more like a fence enclosure. For a while in the dream I couldn't remember her name. I only remembered that I knew her and that I should know her name. Near the end of the dream it came to me. Her name was Marsha and was someone we used to go to church with when we lived in Lincoln. She was cordial and showing us around. I can't remember if she offered that she was divorced or I inquired where her husband was but he was not there because they had divorced.

phone calls from beyond

I was sitting in a large room with my old boss and coworker. My boss was lounging on a couch, my coworker was sitting on the floor. I think my coworker/friend and I were texting back and forth. Then I remember getting a text and replying. My boss said "I've seen some texts from one person on there and I wondered who they're from" I replied "a friend". It was strange.

Then I was in another room with my current staff. I think we were talking about floodplain permits. There was a bed and I was getting ready to go to sleep. It was like work/home and everything happened in the same place. I laid in bed and on the left side of where my heel was sitting there was a hole, like a mouse had chewed through the matress. My heel kept falling inside the whole and it drove me nuts. I remember saying to one of my staff, as I laid in bed "so I bet you can't figure out which side of the bed I normally sleep on" because I was obviously to the left side of the bed while the right side was perfectly made. I think she laughed at me.

Then I was walking into a McDonals with Maddie and Annie. As I walked through the glass double doors I took a phone call. I think originally the call was on my cell phone. There were a lot of people in the McDonalds. Almost, or maybe even all of the seats were filled. I was standing next to one of the garbage recepticles and a two-seater table where twoJapanese men sat. Annie was playing in the middle of the two of them on the bench seat. One of the men kind of looked at me funny. Anyway I stood there talking on the phone with my mother. I was very excited to be talking to her because it's been three years. On the other end of the line, somehow I know my grandma is with her. I keep on talking, really happy about doing that and I realize that I would love for my girls to be able to talk to her. So I start to call Annie over to the phone. This is kind of hard because Annie is enjoying herself at this table with the Japanese men. Finally she starts to come over and I turn my attention back to the phone... I am going to tell my mom that she is going to talk to Annie, her three year old granddaughter. I call "mom...........mooooom.....mom" but I never get any answer. I realize that she's no longer there and she will not get to talk to Annie. It was a very sad moment of my dream. I woke instantly.

Dream fragments from the week

I remember fragments from the last couple of nights dreams.

Recently I was dreaming of a river. There were times when the river traffic was very low and not many ships on the river. At other times it seemed as congested as Chicago at rush hour. In one of the congested moments I remember seeing a tall white boat with several decks. It was surging forward, almost as if it was passing other boat traffic, and then it tipped up on its front and sank almost immediately top first into the water. I remember looking at that scene thinking "oh my goodness there must be a lot of people on that boat/ship". I was thinking about them rushing to doors and trying to free themselves. I watched the boat for a long time. After a bit I thought that it was quite a lot of time and worried they wouldn't survive. I kept watching the water for survivors to pop out. Finally I saw a lot of bodies. I looked closely to see if they were swimming but none of them were. I realized they were all dead. I was sad.

Then a couple of days ago I only remember that in part of my dream there was a small pig, alive. He was cute. Then I remember seeing the pig and he was dead. He was all black and the back of him was split open. Large black spiders were crawling out of his body.

Kittens and pythons

I walked through an urban part of a downtown and at times I walked through apartment buildings. Carrie D-S and I were together. She wanted to attend church. I told her that I didn't care which church we went to. I mentioned a nearby Methodist church and a Lutheran church. She walked into a chuch, which I realized to be Catholic. I asked her, why are we going here when neither of us can take communion. She never answered me. We sat in a small room with two or three pews that faced a wall. I thought it was the room to honor Mary, but I never saw a statue of Mary. Carrie was holding a baby who was playing with a loaf of bread. When the priests came down the steps from the main sanctuary area they appeared to come to offer us bread, but noticing that we already had bread they walked on.

After the church thing I remember walking by an opening/stairwell to an apartment building. I heard kittens mewing inside. I walked over and saw at least two kittens and the mother cat sitting in the stairwell, scared. I called to Carrie. Then I pulled up the wraught iron gate and scooped up the kittens. They were scared because there were two pythons in the stairwell waiting to eat them. We walked up the stairs to the next level. A door to an apartment was not locked and we entered. I put the kittens and mother cat inside. I remember walking around the apartment looking at everything. I think later the pythons may have also been inside the apartment but they were no longer a threat to the cat/kittens. I recall the kittens or pythons having some interesting abilities to pick up glasses, pour wine, etc. Very strange. Near the end of the dream, the owner came home. I walked down and told the owner about the situation. They were friendly. Then I told the animals to come out and the snakes shocked the owner a bit.

Europe

I was along a beachfront. The tide was supposed to come in. I was with one or two other children. I was young. I remember waiting for them to be able to go out and swim. There was a mother there. I am not sure if it my mine or one of the other children.

I was in Europe, I think. I was at a coffee-type bar. I remember there being a young boy with short dark hair, who was very well off, sitting on the counter between the coffee machines. One of the servers took a plate, put some time of pastry/scone onto the plat. Two other bowls were on the plate. One had some kind of chocolate sauce and the other was some type of cream. The server who had short dark curly hair cut the pastry, dipped it into the sauces and fed the boy. The boy was somewhere between 8-10 years old. He exuded a sense of entitlement. It seemed strange to me that he wouldn't feed himself. The staff seemed very intent on pleasing this boy.

I remember being in an indoor mall inside a store. The store had no windows along the backside but had a glass front facing the interior of the mall. The store appeared to have a wide variety of merchandise but I was very interested in the art pieces.

Unsettling

There were some pretty strange things going on in the series of dreams I had last night. I think I woke up at one point having trouble breathing (stuffy nose perhaps).

I remember walking on water that had a thin piece of ice. I recall it cracking and shifting under my feet but I never lost ground or fell. It was unsettling.

In another part of the dream I was with my mother. She and I were sleeping in the same bed. I got up at one point and started looking in the sheets for a stone that had separated from my bracelet. I found one larger diamond and continued looking for a saphire. I think I may have found the saphire.

I looked out the bedroom window, which appeared to be the same as my house in Lincoln. I looked over to the neighbors house and there was a moving truck. It appeared they were moving into the house next door.

I can remember feeling unsettled throughout the dream. I also remember thinking that when my mom died my dad was with me and when my dad died my dad was with me. I distinctly remember thinking about this as being strange as if each of them came back to life when the other was dead so that one of them was always with me.

Alaska

We flew to Alaska. Once there we stayed with someone we knew, I think. I do recall being in some kind of apartment style building. I was with another girl. She and I were walking to her apartment and another woman was following us. I think I had Maddie and Annie with me and this other woman that I was staying with because the woman following us wanted to steal my daughters. I also remember being in another part of this Alaskan town, in a children's clothing botique. The same woman following us owned the botique if I remember correctly.

At some point I had a conversation with some other adults about whether or not schools ever close. They told me that schools never close because of snow. I remember thinking, well there's snow on the ground right now and then it occurred to me that snow is such a regular occurrance that a snowstorm wouldn't close the schools.

I think I had some relatives in town also, but I cannot remember who they were.
