Travel

Beginning of dream jad to do with some type of underground tunnel system. The entire building, and that is an understatement, was underground. Something was happening where some type of acid water was coming from these large, gigantic concrete tubes from the ground. We had to evacuate the underground buildings because it was thought that the acid water would flood out the underground building. So we came out of the structure, which essentially led to water, a large ocean type water. We were fighting a bit of a current along a chain link fence. The acid water never overtook the structure.

The dream jumped to travel. I was traveling to NYC or I was already in NYC. For part of it I was alone. I remember being on or waiting for a train. Then I remember driving along a divided highway. On my right were shops. The Jaarsma Bakery was along there. I was in the passenger seat of the vehicle. An older gentleman was driving. He was showing me things.

Then I was inside a two story building. It was an architectural and engineering firm. I knew a few of the people there from Ryan's former work. It was very large, darke, lots of metal and glass. One point I was walking through a corridor with a small group of people. I sat in a cubicle with a friend while another person spoke with her. I remember sitting in a chair back behind the desk in a corner, behind her computer. It was very cramped.

Then I recall being in a house, or condo I am not sure. Boxes had just been moved into the place as if I just moved there. I received a phone call from a woman, whom I was supposed to meet for lunch. She was telling me that she had a gun and was going to kill herself. I remember thinking that me and the couple of people that were going to her house for lunch should not go, because she may try to kill us. After she hung up the phone I called 911. There was some confusion as to where the woman was located, whether or not I was calling the correct 911 and whether or not they would help her.

Kids, pools, mothers and groups

I was in a house and here was a cute guy. I must have been younger because I really wanted him to notice me. Finally he did. I flirted with him to let him know I liked him. I think we may have kissed but since it was early in my dream I cannot remember. He had dark brown hair and was very handsome.

Then we were in an outdoor above ground pool. Ryan and the girls were there. It was a strange pool. It had boulders attached to the outside. The neighborhood kids were interested in swimming, which was okay. The pool was very very deep and clear. I remember swimming around in the deep parts with Annie or Madeline and looking around. It was almost as if there were windows at the bae so you could see out, like a zoo exhibit. I remember walking in and out of some nearby houses but no details about that.

Then I was with a group of people and we were driving through a town. I remember walking alone across a railroad track and freeway in the daytime in order to reach a strip commercial building on the pother side wehre the group of people were. I think there were three guys in the group. We were stealing or doing something illegal. I think we may have had costumes on to conceal their identity. We were driving around hanging onto the outside of a vehicle. It was raining so we had raincoats on. Then I recall being inside a building that was concrete and several stories tall. I don't remember any windows. At some point I needed to use the restroom and I had to travel up and down a series of stairwells that were very confusing to get to the restrooms. At the end of the stairwell there was a large open room with freestanding concrete walls. Behind the walls were secret experiments. They were building some types of robot/machine for some task. I think it was a competition between three or four different groups. I remember catching a glimpse of part of the robot. Then I remember running outside, being with the group of people who were stealing, grabbing onto the back of a van and driving away. When the van stopped I ran ahead and jumped into the back of a convertible (that had the top down). The entire back of the car was a big fluffy bed. Two girls and one boy child jumped in back and the woman driving must have been our mother. She said she was going to take us all home, become our mother again and we would all live together as a happy family. I remember being skeptical, as if this woman had at some point abandoned us and I ask (or maybe it was another child) are you going to just be our mother or are you going to try to have more children in addition to us? She answered that she was going to be our mother and not have any more children. I felt like we were all biologically related and that the other children really were my brother and sisters. I believe the group of people I was stealing with may have been this group of children/siblings. And the woman really was our mother.

Target, books, snow OH MY!

Several things going on.

We were in a cab and they drove us (not sure who "us" was) to Target except the first building was completely deserted. He drove a little further in the same parking lot and there was another Target store. There were just three or four cars in the lot. We got out and went inside. It was empty. I can't remember what we were looking for.

I remember being inside a house. I had a suitcase on the floor. Actually I believe there were several suitcases. I had pillows, clothes and books. I went into the room and closed the door. Another person, a younger girl who had been showering and was wrapped in a towel came in and tried to take some of my books away. I toook them back and closed the door. She had the key and unlocked the door and took books away again. I went over, ripped them out of her hands and told her that they were my books and she needed to stop acting like a child. I closed the door, locked it again and went to continue to pack my bags. She stayed outside in the hall and cried. I continued to pack up my bags. At some point I realized I was at the Jackson's house. I was ordering a book online for Michelle. It was some very special unique book that she was very excited about.

We (or maybe it was just I) finished packing up and I remember walking out of the house with my friend from work Carrie. She was recently pregnant. I remember talking with her about her daily miscairrage risk. Today was a three. The number three was marked above the outside front door. Inside the house, coming out just after us was another woman, a therapist. She was both of our therapist. I told Carrie I was sorry the risk was high today. She told me not to worry about it, everything would be fine. So we walked over to my car. We had to walk through icy snow that was in globs on the ground and hard to walk through. Imagine when it snows then partially melts leaving a hard crusty icy snow. That's what was on the ground. It was very bumpy like an egg carton. Once we got to the car she and I were driving down the road. It was auddenly dark the and very snowy on the ground. Along the right hand side of the road was a strange contraption. Very thin netal machine with some kind of overhead arm that was attached to a wire. There was a man in the front seat of the contraption. Carrie asked what they were doing. I remember answering that I didn't know and they were probably doing something, but then I realized and told her "Oh, they are clearing snow from the railroad tracks". They zipped along and continued to clear the snow. Then I woke up. (I typed this with my eyes closed while recalling the dream)

Fragmented recollection

This one is hard to remember. Last night I remember being with a man and his wife. His wife was agitated with him. She ended up leaving. He and I remained in the house, I believe it was his house. I think he and I had some kind of relationship. I remember a suitcase on a bed.

Crazy messed up sh*t

Last night was just about as wacky as they come. It's even a little uncomfortable but in the spirit of my new blog I will lay it all out there for you.

The dream was very fragmented and I am already starting to forget parts. I remember being in a city, traveling through a couple of neighborhoods with my friend Duncan. I believe his wife was with him too and they were moving back to where I lived in the dream. I was showing them my old neighborhood. I told them that a fire had consumed the neighborhood and it literally looked as though it had been hit by a tornado, except that the trees were all black and crispy and portions of homes remained with fire damage.

Fast forward to sequence number two: I was in a county board meeting, speaking on an item. This part I've already started to forget. I don't remember what was happening here. If it comes back to me I will edit my post.

Fast forward to the final, and most disturbing, part of my dream. I was with my mother in either a house or a car. I think I was sitting in a recliner and she was in my lap. She had her head on my chest and kept trying to nurse (I was fully clothed). I kept shoving her away and telling her no, and to quit trying because it was "disgusting". Eventually I let her suck my thumb and she quit trying to breastfeed. Weird, huh? That's what I thought too.

Trapped

This dream actually happened before the last post about the river. It's a few days old and the details are getting fuzzy.

I was in a building, I presume a school. Something, I don't know if I knew in the dream what it was, was keeping me from getting out. Some type of invisible force or presence pressed upon me to keep me trapped in the building. At some point I made it out to the school yard which was surrounded by a 6' chain link fence. I searched all over the yard trying to figure out how to escape, all the while the unseen presence kept me in fear. At some point I was able to find a way out and the last thing I remember is running as fast as I could away from the school yard along a sidewalk into a tree'd neighborhood.

Overcoming

Last night I had a strange dream. I am sure there were many parts to it, but what I remember is what happened right before I woke up. I was driving in some kind of open vehicle, maybe like a 4-wheeler with a co-worker. His name is Chris and he works in the GIS department. He and I talk occassionally, he's a nice guy and I can't for the life of me figure out WHY he would be sitting next to me in the ATV, which was a two-seater. I was driving the vehicle and he was sitting in the passenger seat. We were coming upon a river. I recall looking down and the sand turned to mud and we came upon a river that was cresting the track/road. The road was more like a railroad track in appearance, was very narrow. We continued forward and as I looked ahead I realized that the muddy river water had completely crested the track. I was very nervous. I don't like water I can't see through and the idea of being pulled by a current is very fightening to me. Coming upon this scene is one of my biggest fears. As we got to the deepest point, where we could no longer see the ledge of the track Chris leaned over the side of the vehicle and grabbed the edge of the track, I presume to make sure we didn't get pulled out by the current. Now the likelihood of something as simple as that working in that particular scenario is quite unlikely but in the dream it seemed perfectly logical. And it worked. We were able to cross the river without incident, aside from getting very wet and muddy. I can only assume that this dream has something to do with facing fears and working through tough situations. Apparently my brain was trying to tell me that everything will come out okay in the end.

Dreams

I occassionally have an interesting dream. I think "I should write that down" and never do. Many of the really crazy ones I still remember, even from many years ago. So I decided to start this blog. :)
