Environmental Talk

I was on a college campus and there were debates and discussions happening. Ryan was sitting at an eight foot table, wood veneer top without anything on it. A person was sitting in a chair across from him. I remember he was eating popcorn and chewing with his mouth open. He was supposed to be talking to/debating with the other person. They were talking about wind energy and other environmental issues. Then I was walking along some of the buildings up to a courtyard area. There was a group of people performing a musical. One of them was Dave Fanslau, a collegue. He was singing and acting.

Various inappropriate themes

I'm not sure what was going on last night. I can't even write about these dreams. Lots of different people and strange things going on. Crazy. I was trying to decide if any parts were decent enough to write about but none of them really were. Could be because I was out drinking last night! Post pina colada warped zones.

Tipsy House

I was in a backyard looking toward the adjacent neighbors house. They were constructing a new house. The house was being built on a tilt. I called it the tipsy house. It was a two story house without any of the housewrap or siding on it.

Then I was inside a normal house with the Jacksons. Someone knocked on the door. Ryan answered the door with John. It was a police officer with someone they had arrested. They asked m to come over and answer a baking question. I remember that I was not really presentable but went over to the door to help. Then I recall walking into the bathroom of the Jacksons house but not really sure what I was doing in there.

Planes

I was travelling in a very large plane. I believe we were taxiing up to the airport. I order to get to the airport we had to go up a very steep hill. I remember thinking "are we going to flip over backwards?" I was worried and uncomfortable. I remember something stuffed in my cupholder. I can't remember what it was. I believe in the very end I exited the plane. I don't know where I was going.

Corn on the Cobb

I was looking at a piece of corn on the cobb. It was already cooked. Someone standing next to me showed me that inside the kernel there was a bug. They told me that if a bug got into the kernel I could tell because the outside would have a little slit. Then you can peel it open and find the bug. I remember thinking "I must have eaten bugs in the past. That's gross, but do I really care?".

Spiders and Mexico

I was preparing to go on a trip, a acation. I rode in a helicopter over a body of water. It appeared to be an ocen type water. I believe we went to Mexico. My brother, Kevin, was flying the helicopter. It was the strangest thing. Flying over the wawter there were tons and tons of planes and helicopters making the same trip, some going in the same direction and some opposite. It was like an air traffice freeway. Everything was orderly but I was very uncomfortable because I don't like to fly. We arrived and the people from customes checkecd us in. I remember feeling very nervous because I did not have a passport. hey never checked for it. Next thing I know I am in the hotel room. My bagg is unpacked and scattered across the floor. I tell Kevin that I forgot to pack any toiletries or some other important things. I am upset because I have to buy new and am not sure if they will have items similar to my typical products.

Then I am younger in a house with two strange older men. Not really older, but in their twenties. It's like they're babysitting me. They're carrying around these plants. I remember thinking, oh that looks like marajuana. I pretent that I don't know what it is and i pretend taht I am tired and want to tak a nap. They let me lay down and the marajuana is under the bed. I have a cell phone and attempt to call someone, I think Kevin. I talk to someone and find out that it is San Fransisco marajuana and that my mom and dad may have planted it beside our house. Next thing I know I am naked in the bed. I am probaby in my pre-teens. I throw a temper tantrum at one of the guys and he backs off.

Then I remember being in an outdoor setting or backyard. I remember looking up at the side of the house with someone and pointing out a special tree branch that is literally hooked to the house. On it are some kind of fruit or olive or something. Some kind of food. I said that my mom had hooked it directly to the house. Then we were looking at some spiders that were nesting on the eave. They were pretty large tarantula spiders. There were two of them, obviously mates. At one point the female spider grabs the male, shoves him through two wood bars and then situates him the way she wants so she can mate. Then she prepares a cacoon-type thing from her silk and lays eggs or has the babies. She does this a lot in the next few parts of the dream. Soon after I look in the backyard and there are spiders and nexts everywhere. There was an outdoor couch across from the tarantuals and someone was sitting on it. There were two other large, but not tarantual sized, spiders black fuzzy with large white fuzzy dots on the body chasing each other around the top of the couch. I mention something to the person sitting on the couch because the spiders are just about ready to climb all over them. Then I left.

Water...again

For some reason water is pretty important lately.

I don't remember much of last night's dream. I remember it being very simple and having something to do with my coworkers. I remember being in an office that really didn't have good natural light, or perhaps windows at all. I remember it looked very dated in the office. It was a large open area with the desks scattered around the office. One coworker was in the office. I went to the refrigerator and looked in the freezer. There were lots of little plastic cups, like the kind that have the vanilla fudge swirl ice cream - the kids sized cups, but instead of ice cream they were filled with banana bread (I made banana bread and mini-muffins last night). I opened one up and presumably ate it. I comments about something to a coworker but can't remember anymore what it was.

Then i was at a beach. The water looked more like ocean, versus carribean or gulf. It was darker and choppier. There was some type of structure that was footed in the sand but went out into the water, like a dock. But people were just sitting on their floaties and lounging in the water. There were no boats. I remember at one point realizing that I did not have my new swimming suit but someone had packed my other suit. I borrowed a floatie and laid on that in the water. That's all I remember.

Old aquaintances

There were so many parts to this one. It was really strange. None of them seemed to have anything to do with the other. I was with a group of girls, one of them was an old elementary classmate Michelle Peterson. We were Job's Daughters, I think. We were in some town for a competition and stydying for a test. I remember waslking to a large hall where we were going to take the test. Then we were inm a house for a sleepover type event. I remember being upstairs in the bathroom getting ready. here was a linen closet in the bathroom. The hairspray was in an aerosol can and it kept spraying at me. It was in the linen closet and every time I opened the door it would move toward me and spray. I remember telling someone that it was mad at me.

Then I was inside my old house in Lincoln. My childhood house. It wasn't exactly the same, but it was supposed to be my house and it was very similar. I walked down the stairs and someone told me that my brothers were in the living room. That they had both arrived overnight. It was Christmas time. I remember Ginny Trauthen and her husband were there. They are longtime friendcs of my mom. They were sitting up on barstools in the eat-in kitchen area. My mom was there too, sitting in the kitchen area. I walked over to my brothers and they said they were there to help divide my parents inheretance. I looked at them and sighed. I told them that mom and dad told me I could have everything and divide it up so that I got what I wanted first, then I could give them what I want them to have. Kevin looked very mad about this. I think they were both disappointed. I told them that there would be lots of things that I don't want but special sentimental things I would keep. I remember saying "The Christmas star, that I am going to keep". (we didn't have a special Christmas star so it seemed strange) Ginny T. told me she was proud of me for standing up for myself. Then I walked out the back door and looked at the backyard. Instead of being able to see houses behind, there was a tall retaining wall with exposed dirt. It was 50-60 feet tall. I was thinking i needed to sue the adjacent developer because the view had completely changed.

Then there was another part of the dream where I was nearby a beach in a one story house. It seemed to be a vacation house, or at least that I was only there temporarily. I think I was younger because there was another young boy there. He and I were flirting with each other. I remember walking around the sandy yard aimlessly. I can't remember anything of importance happening in this part of the dream.

India and a new house

I was in India with a family. It was like an exchange situation. I remember greeting the mom and dad of the girl I was staying with. The mother was feeding me all of these things that I think were supposed to be healthy or have some ritual significance. I remember spicy beans and some drink that had jam or something in it. It was strange. Then I remember jogging down a rural road. I think the girl from India was also a runner and we met up along the road.

Then I remember being with Ryan and the girls in a two story white house. It was like a farmhouse but there was another house right next door. There were lots of doors in the house to get out of any side of the house or get outside from every room. There was a piano in two differeent rooms. One was light blonde wood, or yellow. The neighbor came over to say hi (a guy) and I had recently taken everything out of the first room of the house, except for the piano. He mentioned that it was interesting that there was nothing in the room. Ryan mentioned that we may use it for a playroom, which I didn't like. I told the neighbor that the woman who lived in the house before us left me the piano in her inheretance. The neighbor seemed shocked. Then I remember going outside and there was a lot of rain water. There was a wheelbarrow that had plant material in it that was full of water. I dumped the water out so the plant material wouldn't drown. Then the ground was flooded. It seemed odd that the entire side yard could become flooded from just the water in the wheelbarrow.

Motocycling on ice

The last couple of nights I've had work dreams. I've dreampt about the County Board and one night ago it was something with my current employees. Last night I dreampt that I was riding a motorcycle or a scooter with one of my staff on the back. We had on helmets and were trying desperately to get to someplace. It was really important to get there. It was night and it had snowed. The wheels kept sliding from underneath us. It was really hard to drive on the ice. That's all I remember.

Trucks, Mayors and failed crossings

A lot of my dream was about this open house I am having for wind energy systems. I remember my boss mentioneing that we had to make sure the whole thing went off perfectly and that we should have a full scale mock up. I tol the consultant and they created one. It was horozontal thought which was very strange considering that you have blades/toros going super close to the ground. I remember lots of people attending the open house and lots of discussion between my boss and also with the consultant. Then I remember being iaround my old work's city hadd. The area around city hall was different. It had a lot more trees. I was watching from about a block away. I was looking at the mayors black truck. I remember it had an acronym on the back that meanst you could shift into drive or reverse at any time. Like it was some kind of flexible shifting thing. I went over and took his truck and drove it around the block. As I was coming back around and could see city hall he was walking out of the building watching me. He walked over and I drove the truck as if I was planning to pick him up. He was very angry. I told him that I only took it so Icould see what it was like to drive. There was another part of the dream where I was watching the mayor ome out of the building and he was walking with Michelle, my old planning assistant. They were walking next to each other, almost like they were together. I took photos of them walking out together, close ups/ Like a private investigator.

Then I remember taking the Mayor's truck down a muddy road. I got out of the truck and was walking over a muddy bridge with two other people. I think one of them was the communications person from the county. We were trying to walk across this mud bridge. When the first woman started to walk across it, the bridge started to collapse. She came back. I tossed out the idea of running very quickly across it (like they do in cartoons) but the other two didn't think that would work (smart ladies). Then we walked over to another area that had a thick wire across a body of water. We started to shimmy ourselves across that wire and it started to dip. We knew it would hold us, but I don't like water and didn't want any part of me to get in the water so I shimmied back up, held onto the overhead bar and did a flip to get myself righted on the ledge. Once there I walked over to another area and looked at crossing that way. It was actually a bedroom. I remember a doll laying on the bed across the way.

Houses

I'm already forgetting. Every morning I want to get right on the computer to type my dream, but I think my husband will find that very suspicious, so I don't.

I remember moving to a new house. It was a very new house. Looking from the outside, it was very plain and tan in color. I think my mom was with me. She directed me to the correct house. It did not have very many details. The garage was important because I spent a lot of time looking at it. It had a very very steep grade going up into the garage and was in the shape of a triangle in that the larger part was near the house and the narrower part was at the front of the building. It was very strange and I remember thinking that winters and ice would be difficult but then resolved that since the grade was so steep the melted snow would just run out the front of the garage. After thinking that I heard Madeline say she was going to move some things around in a crawl space off the garage. There was a very small door on one end of the upper part of the garage (the part that leveled off with the house) and she was already inside. There were no lights and I wondered why she wasn't scared.

Then I was at an auto dealership in some other city. I know I was not at home because I needed to trade my car for one that I could drive home. I traded in the Volvo but all they had was a mini-van. I told them no and came back the next day. They had another Volvo but it was not as nice. I believe I took the other Volvo. It was raining when I left.

I think the dream fragmented in other areas but I cannot remember them now.

county board

A couple of nights ago I dreampt about being with two or three county board members. It was very much a work related dream. I remember talked with one about the soils on his property, seeing an aerial view of the property as he told me how to get to his house. I don't recollect anything of significance coming out of the dream. I do remember looking down a very long outdoor corridor, probably a street right of way, toward something. I think it may have been a tornado. It's typical for me to have bad weather dreams in the spring and summer.
