What dreams may come

A blog to keep track of my dreams and hear the interesting interpretations of others. The dreams are as much as I can recall of them and may be out of order and in rather rough format.

James reads

I had a couple of dreams from the weekend that I still have to post that involve planes and flying. It does seem that every other dream is about some sort of transportation.

Last nights was about James learning to read. He learned everything in one night.
Then there was a party we were at. There was a small creature. Oh and the rest isn't coming back. I'll post more if I remember more!

Lexa's house

Lexa and I were walking together. The first time we went by her house, she ran in to get something she needed.
The second time we went by on another trip, I went in. The numbering was strange. Her house # was 996 but the other townhouses around had numbers that were not sequencial. like after her house the house in the next block was 982. Inside her house I was wandering around downstairs while she went upstairs. Her living room floor was a grate. I was looking up and didn't realize that there was a hole at the edge of the grate and my foot almost went down into her basement!

I was leading the service at Rustle. I had talked for a while. I was in a corner and there were some people who were sitting there, but I couldn't see them, just their jacket. Then I looked at the parts of the service and I said 'Was I supposed to to assign these?' and everyone said yes. So then I said that if you do part of the service, make sure you speak clearly and can see everyone. But I was speaking quietly and couldn't see everyone, so I changed because it was like I was giving instructions to myself! I had baked cookies with Smarties in them. Lots of Smarties. David, Lexa's son was there and there were only 3 cookies. I was going to advise him to take a cookie, but not eat it until he had his lunch, but he didn't seem too interested in the cookies.

Boats and pipes

This dream I was woken up from by my CRAZY bird, who fell off her perch and got her foot caught in the bars of her cage.

It was on a boat (Clint, I can't stop the transportation!) and there were large grey pipes being put on the boat. I think by a crane? But anyway, they were being put together on the boat so something could flow through it (not like an organized set of pipes lying next to each other). It was not the most efficient use of space if the pipes were just being transported. But the pipes were going to be used WHILE they were being transported.

Jared

I see Jared as a spiritual leader so when I woke up at 4am and he had been in my dream, I thought it was significant, but it was very hard to remember come the morning.

The overall impression of the dream was that there was not enough prayer and we lost someone.

Jared came to check on us to see how we were doing. In the background I was thinking- we haven't done enough prayer (and can you ever?). He checked up on things and then he left. I was talking to him on the phone. I was talking and then I'd stop and there would be this blank air, like he was waiting for me to think about what I said and maybe rethink it or resay it. It was a very odd conversation. John Hart had died and I think I was trying to explain what had happened to Jared.

between 6-7am dreams:
I was hanging my laundry at some lady's house. I hung the laundry then went off somewhere. I came back with my basket and she was very upset with me, saying that she wanted me to leave all my stuff there. Heather was there looking at my laundry and picking out what was done.

I was on my bike about a block away from my house at the corner of 1st ave and victoria and the whole street looked different. The houses were much closer to the curb. Jay came out of the house with his bike and we spoke about him living so close to us.

The gate

Thursday mornings I get to rest a little more. Instead of getting up at 6am, I get to sleep until James wakes up, which is about 7am. Myron has a seminar at 8 so he gets up between 6:15-6:30. After he left to go to the bathroom and switched off the radio and before James got up I had this dream:

They had made Andrew Mark the coordinator for APSC 100 (now Andrew was one of my TAs for this course years ago, but he hated it!)and Andrew was asking me about the insurance for the course. I said if anything went wrong it would come down on his head. He wondered if he would loose points with his committee (for his Ph.D).

I was at an aquarium. The polar bear was chasing stuff in the pool. I was watching with a friend. But then some of her other friends showed up and she left me without even saying goodbye.

I was on the floor of a small warehouse-type house. It was by the water. A child has been hurt. I was trying to help. It was at a big open house for a school.

The United states had a gate to keep people out. It was a metal type of gate with the crisscross metal (lots of little holes) like my front gate, but bigger and with the sharp wire on the top. But there was a big hole in it. They had tried to fix it with shoelaces. But in one place the shoelace was just hanging down and wouldn't stop anyone from getting through the hole as all. Defenceless, even though you have a gate.

I think the president and other bigwigs were there looking at the hole. But looking doesn't accomplish anything. They have the resources, they know there is a problem, why aren't they doing anything?

Struggling

Lisa shared her dream of struggling forces yesterday and apparently my subconscious liked the idea because I spent last night struggling with people. At one point I was on a train as well. (I know Clint!) When you struggle with people on trains it's not so good because it's an enclosed space!

I don't remember much other than the fact there was a lot of struggling going on because I had to get up early to do the lunches and the dinner!

in the night, you could see the line of submarines but they seemed to be filled with tourists, not military.

i was at a school. james was in one of the classes. the had to move from classroom to classroom for each different period. i think oma was teaching one of the classes. some of the children were acting up and did not make it to their class. i had to look after the remainders.
i had to sign a letter or something for one of the classes. the school official was making me write it. I wrote with that funny writing that james uses that looks like just a line and i did lines and lines of it and signed it 'mom'.

Sale

Al had this giant ware house that he had converted into a warehouse store that sold new items at reduced prices. I seem to have spent my time looking at outerwear. Coats and the like. I looked at a spiderman coat or something like that for James. But it was 24.99 or something and I only wanted to pay 16.99.
I went away and then came back and was looking at other coats. Some were nice and priced about $100. I didn't mind paying a price for good things. But James' size wasn't there. There were lots of 3s and 5s but not 4s (in RL he is 4 yo but wears 5 or 6!) so I didn't but anything. THe spiderman coat has gone up to 123.99 because it was now a collectors item. It wasn't the right size either. By the coats there was a make your own Coke stand. At first I couldn't tell what you had to do because the previous people who used the stand had not cleaned it up. But then I saw there were these little white bags that you could pour into your glass, then add water, then stir. I didn't make any because I didn't want to be up all night.

I was at a supermarket with my mother. We each had a cart of groceries. We were at the check out. My mother was throwing the groceries on the checkout desk. The lady was telling her not to. I don't think it stopped her. I was piling mine neatly in a very organized pile. My clerk was called Judy. She checked my stuff out, then she went back inthe store room. I called after her 'Thank you Judy' She soon returned and she herself was covered with sale stickers, or she covered me with them, I can't remember which.

Then I went to this lodge, which had lots of rooms for people to stay at but noone was there at the time. I was trying to do something and was walking outside to sit in the shade. But I needed a string and there was a loose one in my shorts and I pulled and pulled and got the string, but when I sat down, it was a bit airy! I think I was falling apart at this point in my dream maybe mentally or emotionally. It wasn't just my shorts!

email

I didn't sleep well last night. I drifted in and out a lot. Around 3am I had a dream I got an email from Al. I woke up right afterwards and focused really hard on remembering the text so I could write it down in the morning.
It said:
for prayer get the people to stand as though they were hungry and then get them all to share

Al had asked me to bring prayer on Sunday at Rustle in RL

The good and the bad

I was at a large families home. Maybe my family, but not my RL family. There were pockets of people in different areas outside and inside of the house. There was food there and some was bad and some was good. I took the bad in one hand (the right?) and the good in another. But then when I went to the garbage I threw both the good and the bad in!
(from naptime with a feverish james)

fighting

a war general type fighting in Iraq, bloody, wanting to be the U.S. president. and reading blogs
shopping in a grocery store while on a trip. my dad saying he liked the cold sawdust.

james awake at 5:30 with a fever, so the images flew away quickly.

On the outside

I was down near Queen's campus and there was a very large house. It was my friend's house. There were about 3 families living in the house. I walked to the playroom where they were. Stephanie (Will's wife) had just moved in and now there were so many more toys in the playroom. I could look in but I couldn't go in (not that I made any attempt to try) I could see many keyboards. I made a comment about seeing so many keys or black and white things. They couldn't see things the way I did. After chatting a bit (there was another woman there with Stephanie), I picked up my bike helmet and left out some big doors. But the doors I had left out of, I had not left out of before so when I got out to the outside, I was a bit disoriented. I had to try to figure out what the streets were. I had just made the decision of which way to go and then I heard Rachel's voice. She was with her girls. I couldn't see her at first, but then I got closer and we walked together.

Loading the plane

This last week I have only been sleeping about 5 hours, so not very condusive for dreaming. Last night I got 7 hours and so:

There was a giant jet liner and supplies were being loaded on. (still preparing, almost ready to go)

This one may have been triggered by watching 'Crush' with Andie McDowell(sp?) in it. In the movie she is pregnant near the end. In my dream, there is a preganant woman (not sure if it was Andie or not) and I was asking her if she was 19 weeks along yet. She said no, and I started to explain that at 19 weeks the best past really starts because you can feel the kicking. It was really emotional for me to talk about this with her as I was crying while I talked.

I also had a really long dream about a conference that I was helping organize (In RL I am planning a conference for RMC). In the dream the Government of Canada wanted to save money by having our conference share a parking lot with another conference. The parking lot seemed to be around Division St and York St. (there is currently a house there). We had to greet the people in the parking lot. There was also a store right by the parking lot and that was very competitive. It had a competitive feel anywayway, like business was the most important thing. This was a really long dream and I remember doing a lot of running around.

Where do you live?

This was a long dream. I'm sure parts are out of order.

I had bought an apartment/condo in a complex of townhouses. They shared a common living room (I don't know between how many) But after a week of being committed to this place, I found another place to live.
Karen and Bob were in the same complex and had pretty much taken over the shared living room.
I came back later to the same complex to see over the window where I was supposed to have lived my name engraved in stone over the main window. They did this for every one so over every window there was a large engraved stone. There was a time lag and so it had me listed even though I never lived there. My name was spelled incorrectly in a lot of places in the dream, but I think that the stone had it right.
The person who took over my place sold things in the market place (maybe art) and having the place meant she didn't have to go far to the market.

Alison B. was in the bath/shower. There were lots of people in the bathroom with her. Someone offered her some some. She looked at them like they were crazy. Then they tried explaining that it was to clean her legs. She didn't seem inpressed and rejected the soap, saying she never used it.

Joseph was on the corner of Chaplin and York (in St. C.) confronting 2 people (not sure what about). I was walking by and I stopped to back him up. We finished with the 2 and then walked one house length toward my childhood home and there was Theresa.

There was a service I was supposed to help organize. We didn't know who would come. I was sitting a the back of the room. The seats were hard but with foam cushions on them. Their set-up was funny because we didn't know how many we were planning for. I was sitting at the back reading. The door was near the front of the room. It opened and all of these black men came in. They were laughing and happy and felt they belonged. I was surprised inside because this wasn't what I expected, but I didn't show it.
