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.

Stadium

I was in a stadium, football I believe. I was with Tony F., a friend of mine from my last job. He was watching the game from a balcony type seating. I think I had to take an elevator to get there.

I remember taking a break and going back down during the middle of the game, but now I cannot remember who I saw when I was down there.

Going somewhere

I was with another woman, a friend I think. I cannot remember who I was with. We were somewhere together. We were staying in the same room. The room we stayed in had no exterior walls. It was night and got very cold. We slept together in one large bed.

Then I remember being in work situations. I was preparing to meet with Mayor Suttle. At one point in the dream the two of us had a conversation. He wanted my help with things. I agreed to help. Other people thought I was interested in working for him, but I was really only helping provide assistance. I remember being in the Omaha planning department office waiting area, which did not look like it does actually. I saw a collegue in the waiting area and we started talking. I remember hearing the planning director's voice, and seeing the back of him as he walked away but we never spoke.

Spa

I was with a group of other people. We were staying in a large room. It was some type of retreat-spa. It was for therapy or something like that. In the beginning we were all staying in one room and we had cats. There were cat beds all over the place. Both of my cats were there. They were just wandering around leisurly.

Then we were in more of a classroom group setting. There was an instructor. She was having us do some activities. Then there were other parts of the facility. We could go to parts of the facility for a variety of services. There was an area for facials, hot tubs, etc. There was also a beach and a couple of people and I had talked about going out to the beach on the last day. I saw the group was doing a group activity and I had missed it. I walked into a room, hoping to become part of the activity. When I walked in I realized I was in the wrong class. I disrupted the class briefly. Then I found my class. They were all in a fairly small indoor pool. The instructor had everyone swimming to one side of the pool, so they were all in one giant cluster. The idea of the activity is that the people were supposed relax and use each other to stay afloat. I never joined the activity. I just watched and talked to the other instructor.

Then I remember thinking that this was the last day. It was getting dark out so we were not going to be able to go to the beach.

Then we were in a bus. We stopped at a town/village in a mountain area. I think we were in another country. It may have been somewhere Africa, which doesn't really make sense. Maybe Alaska. I'm not sure. I got out my camera and took a couple of pictures. It looked like a pretty normal small town from afar. No paved roads. Everything was dirt. I remember finding another woman from the group, who was mentally disabled, and held hands with her as we walked into the village. That was it!

Iraq

I was travelling bo boat to Iraq with a group of people. I remember being in the water, on top of the water, at one time. I think I was floating on a thin piece of wood at some point.

Land use

There was a bed sheet. The sheet looked like a parcel map. It had different intensities of red. on it and some parcels seemed to be getting darker.

Evil Emu!

I remember being on a trip and in a wood cabin. I think I was part of a mid sized group.

Then there was an area, outside of a cave. I remember being afraid of something. Some kind of animal/being that was inside the cave. From the corner of my eye I saw something run past me. It scared me. The quick blip I saw looked like a emu but with a very large beak. I actaully woke up with a racing heart.

When I went back to sleep I was with people I knew. We were together, I think in a school classroom. We were talking about baseball teams. Duane Dowd was there. He was looking at a magazine or sheet of paper with some team logos. I told him my dad was a player for the (Detroit) Tigers. I think my friend Michelle (from my last job) was in the dream but right now I cannot remember how she was involved.

Parallel

This dream is from two nights ago.

Again, very strange. It has some similar images from another dream I had awhile ago. The one where there was a train line going through the town. It was pretty similar but in the last dream the train tracks were running through a fairly urban area with covered tracks.

In this dream there was a city. It seemed very barren. I remember seeing lots of red hues like adobe, brick on the buildings, reddish dust dirt, etc. I remember being in the dream, walking around. I think I saw myself in the third person. There were relationships happening in the dream. There was also talking between the people and I think the discussions were relative to how and what could cause a person to die and end up in a parallel dimension. I told you it was strange. I remember seeing the dream in two hues. One was more alive as in the present and the other was dull as if I was dead. There was a conversation about an act that would cause people to die and cross over, which happened to me in the dream. The colors in the dream turned dull and more reds which symbolized that I had died. There were more people on that side, of those who had died but could not be seen in the brighter present dimension. I think there was some kind of discussion about how one might cross back over. I remember a tree, and I think climbing the tree. I walked through a fairly substantial portion of the city which was made up primarily of brick two and three story buildings. The area was fairly urban in nature. I remember seeing streets, the railroad tracks which did not have any train cars. I think there may have been some representation there with trains coming into the dream as a way to move between dimensions. I remember feeling sad that I had died. I think people were moving around in the dream as if continuing on with business as usual on both dimensions.

Shared home, again

Last night there was a pretty large, loud, storm in the area. I woke up several times in the evening. At some point in the mix I had this dream.

I was living, or perhaps staying temporarily, in a house with several other people. I recall being in one part of the house playing with little figures and a dollhouse next to a window. I must have been a child. I remember seeing one of the people who live in the house arrive in a car with another person and walk into the house. I thought "they live in this room so I am going to need to leave". The next thing I remember I am with an older gentleman. I don't recall feeling like he was a family member. I remember feeling like I wanted to stay with him (I was a child). We were able to stay together briefly. This is going to sound really bizzare, but I think we were floating on a fairly calm body of water, like a swimming pool. (I chuckled as I typed that) I remember the water being very blue. Perhaps it was a water bed. There was not anything inappropriate going on, we were just laying next to each other, maybe hugging. The dream ended with that. It was pretty strange and I remember that this dream seemed to have more emotions than images.

Glass people

This dream was two nights ago so I do not remember much. I remember being in a room, I think a living room, at dusk with my mother. Amanda, my niece, was there. There was a glass cabinet near the front of the room that had several small glass figures (I think a little form of a person - you know like the symbol for the restroom) in several different colors. I think I had a short conversation with my mom about them, how she had purchased many of them to give as Christmas gifts. I believe she was allowing Amanda to pick out her Christmas gift.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

This dream was the day before yesterday. The order of my posts got messed up because I posted about three dreams at the same time. I'm just glad I retained enough to type out three dreams at the same time!

There was a really interesting house. I remember that it was very white inside. The walls were white, appliances were white and furnishings were white. I remember that it appeared very white everywhere, almost institutional. But it was clearly a residential home. It had several wings to it where there was a single bedroom with attached bathroom but there were common areas where everyone comingled. I recall near the end of the dream being in the rear of the building which included laundry facilities. I think there may have been some workout equipment there. In the end of the dream I remember someone baking a batch of fresh Tollhouse cookies. I remember seeing them come out of the often, soft and warm. I'd like to think I enjoyed eating at least one in my dream, but I don't remember that part!

Old Asian pieces of estate

There was a basement, which oddly enough I think was more like the outside. There were vendor type people set up in the area almost like a yard sale. Items were marked for sale. I remember looking at several very detailed Asian pieces. I think I purchased a couple of things for gifts. I can't remember who the gifts were for.

Then I remember being in a basement and looking through items that were part of my dad's estate. There were, again, many pieces that were intricate Asian pieces of medallians, pendants, button-type items. There was some special significance almost mystical with these pieces. There was a lot of mystery and mystacism with both this dream and the one from the previous night. Mythical, fantasy, etc. Both were similar with that type of overtone.

Mansion spirits

Two nights ago I was in an old multi-story house. It was a residence. I think it was victorian. The house was filled with spirits. I remember a woman spirit floating through the building and I think a child. Maybe similar to Madeline's age. It was fairly bizare (ya think?).

Puppies

I don't remember as much about this dream even though it was just last night. I remember being in a house. It was pretty dark. I had a young dog. It was a small dog but I don't remember anything about what he/she looked like. Then there was suddenly another dog (like a grey schnouser) and she had one puppy. The puppy was cute, obviously, and I remember going out to look for my other dog that was instantly missing when the new dog with puppy showed up. I think there may have been part of the dream where I was in a camper with someone.

Swim team!

Two nights ago I dreampt I was at a school. I was in high school again. I remember a building with lots of rooms and corridors. There were sleeping corridors in the school as if it was a boarding school. I believe that I was starting the school a little late. Somehow I was interested in the swim team. I think I had a friend who was also. The swim coach gave me my gear and when I put on the suit I realized that I was being put on the varsity team! I was so excited and shocked. I think my friend was not given the same suit and was not on the team with me. The last thing I remember was the swim coach telling me to go out with the team and do the routine that they had been practicing up to this point. I remember going out there and faking it pretty well.

I think earlier in the dream I was looking for someone in the corridors. I remember finding my room that had a tall dresser in the room. I think at one point I was in a very large shared bathroom, like the shower area or something, with another kid who was being picked on. I befriended them. That's all I remember two days later...
