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.

Montreal

This morning James crawled into bed and told me about his dream. How he had been at the dacare and the snow had come and they had to clean everything up. And the swings got stuck or something like that. (Soon he'll be starting his own dream blog :)

Mine was about starting a new church in montreal. WE were preparing the food for them. Paul Butler made this huge container of juice. I was given some dough and I made 5 biscuits or rolls out of it. People were disagreeing on if that was enough or not. But when we got there, there was plenty because we hadn't counted the fruit! There was a lot of fruit- grapes.

Community freezer

Dreamt about being on Queen St. near Next and there was this freezer by the sidewalk and people were putting large hunks of meat in it. I was trying to put one in but there wasn't much to do. What to do with so many hunks of meat? Evidently someone had to cook them.

The next dream was about some sort of business competition. There were teams competing against each other. They were in rooms in a hallway and I guess people had to visit different rooms. One guy was giving his father a fathers day dinner at the entrance table. I thought the judges would not approve of that. That might have been team Ryan. There was also a rock group team, I think.

Last night I dreamt I was taking James to daycare. I was taking him on a bus with a large stroller. But after we were on the bus ,I realized we were on the wrong bus. I had to figure out which stop would get us closest. We got off and had to walk through consruction in the park. Then we got to the daycare and lots of parents were there with snacks. James took a whole box of breadstick like things. I thought it was too much. I also felt like I was running out of time. I had to get all the way back to work and all the way back to the daycare.

Helping difficult people

I was working in a grocery store and these people would come in and be difficult. Wanting us to get things we didn't have, being disrespectful of the workers. Sometimes we would have to trade off the difficult people so we wouldn't go insane. One girl was working with an old lady. She got very frustrated and went to go outside. I gave her a stick of chocolate to take with her.

I was trying to clean up by picking up paper on the ground. But sometimes, if I got too near one of the old ladies it was their paper and I couldn't pick it up until the had left.

I also dreamt about a school cafeteria.

A big house

Right, I seem to be on a house theme right now.

In this dream we bought a new house and it was huge! We still had possession of the Nelson st house and this house was close by. We seem to have bought it from a family member. We had started moving in, but the people we bought it from had not quite finished moving out! There were still some boxes of their stuff. I was trying to organize everything so the boxes were together so they could pick them up. It seemed to be myron's mom, but she looked more like the mom from everybody loves raymond on tv. They left us appliances, but I wasn't really too keen on their old appliances because I had my own appliances to bring. I made them take out the dishwasher straightaway. There were lots of fridges. One old fridge was being used to store office supplies. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying to clean it up.
The funny thing about this dream was that there were so many people in this new house. I didn't even know most of them. There were kids and adults. But I was so busy trying to cleam up that I didn't have time to talk to them. They were enjoying the party anyway. Though the party seemed to go on for a long time!

I see my life in this. I am very busy organizing in my job and trying to clean up my life that I miss just kicking back and hanging out with people/students that would be more connecting.

Truck wheels

There was a large truck going around the corner. It was so big it was difficult to make the turn and the back wheels came off. They were a small part of the truck so the truck driver didn't even notice and kept carrying on. But I stood on the back wheels and was pushing them, like a roller skate.

A new House

We were looking at getting a new house. There was one we were in that seemed that we were trying out because the family that lived there was still there. It was bigger. It had a gas stove that was very low that James could reach and it had a wood stove. I would not use the wood stove. I had to think about how to close it up. It had a very large gauge on it that told the temp of the room which I thought was very useful.
I tried out the gas stove. When I turned it on some crumbs lit on fire. I had to put the fire out carefully. My thought with this dream was that with every change there is some good and some bad, you just have to sort out if the good outweighs the bad.

Into the water

Last night was a pretty bad night as I was up a lot, but I had a lot of dreams, so I guess that makes it ok.

My mother, James and I were on a train driving by a partially frozen lake. We were looking out at the lake and there were cars driving on the ice. But as we were watching a white car slipped through the ice. The train was slowing so I knew the train driver was calling emergency. There really wasn't anything we could do, being in a train and away from the site. But my mom was upset, maybe she thought there was something we could do. I tried to keep James from watching the car go in as I didn't want him too upset.

In the next dream I was on a plane. I think we were flying somewhere sunny. But then the plane hit the water and went in nose first. At first I was very worried, but then I had a peace about it and just went to get my belongings and we would swim to the top.

In another dream, I rented Kim a motel room so she could create something. Luckily, it was a room with a small bed so she had most of the room (as it was during the day and she did not want the room for sleeping) The bed looked quite uncomfortable. We were talking and saying that there must be a cheaper place to rent a room for her for next time. But this was all we could think of at the time.

Determined Driving

In this dream there was lots of determined driving (none of it by me). People, friends were driving fast and furious. Someone was pulling around me in their car and they did it to an extreme- pulling right against the wall to be able to pull around. I waved at them.

There was someone selling illegal things that we were trying to arrest. We were there to see the transaction. The ogre type guy dropped a diamond ring to a guy a few floors below and then the guy below beamed up something into the ogre's bucket. Was it drugs? This part was a bit cartoonish.

See transportation again Clint? In answer to your question- I don't expect to come to any big personal insights. I do try to listen to my dreams for small personal insights though. Trying to understand myself. And this world. I get ideas for prayer from my dreams. But I think our understanding of ourselves tends to be a slow process!

Pray freedom

I was at Rustle. 2 Sundays of the month were my prayer days there. That day I was telling them how I was going to be speaking the next Sunday and I told everyone to "Pray freedom" over me.

Then I had this dream that took place in my lab, though the setup was having desks around the walls and in my lab the desks are perpendicular to the walls. This one student could not get his filter to work. I felt his circuit and it was hot. (This actually did happen in the resitors lab last week, the students were burning out a power supply because they had it hooked up wrong) In my dream I screamed, and then looked to see if anyone had heard. Noone seemed to have noticed. (In RL I switched off their power supply and said wow it was hot. They didn't know how close they were to blowing up the power supply!) So, I took the circuit apart and the breadboard he was using was different from all the other breadboardss in the room (not the breadboard we actually use for the lab. It was the blue one with no power supplys in the dream. In RL we use the black ones with the power supplys). Anyway there were lots and lots of wires and I was pulling them out. I don't know how he managed to get so many wires in there. And it was confusing me because there were so many! Then he pulled out a walkman type thing and was playing music. He wanted to test his filter with it. We hadn't even made the filter yet. It was annoying. He also sat on my lap I think, making it difficult for me to put the filter together. Finally, I had him all fixed up and I went to help another group. It was a group of 2 guys and 1 girl and the girl was crying because she had the molecular mass of oxygen wrong and couldn't do the calcualtion. Then James woke me- right in the middle of the calculation!

Dreams from Feb 3 and 4

I am behind at inputting my dreams because work has been very busy. I wrote them down at the time, just they didn't make it to the computer.

Feb 3
Dreamt there were 2 parties- 1 each night.
The first party was in a large house and we were all sleeping over. James was sleeping in a small room. I was in another room not far away. But then 3 girls came in and said it was their room. I knew that it was not my room, as my room was to have had a lock. I asked the girls if they knew where it was? They may have directed me. I just was looking for the lock. I found it. The bed looked like a yellow trampoline. There was a lock on the door. The room was really yellow. I was worried because the room was so far away from James and what if he woke in the night in a strange place. How would he find me? But then 2 of the boys were up in the night because they were sick and needed to go home. James was up too with the noise. Everyone was in the little hallway outside my room.

Day 2
Rachel was going to the party. Jason (Rachel's Jason) was working in a gas station with glass walls. Rachel was coming up the road and Jason was signalling to her because Astrid was running on the other side of the gas station.

Then I was at Niagara Falls and people were selling things. Odd shops.

Avid was marking in Stirling 405. The class needed to start and I needed the marks. But she was playing around with me and not giving me the sheet, maybe she was worried about what I would say about her marks.

James and were somewhere with my mom. James was making cards. And when he went to the bathroom he would put shampoo in the toilet first. As he was working on the cards he said "Lord, forgive me my single miracle" which I went and told my mom because I thought it was so funny!

Feb 4
I was walking over a large curved bridge over a highway. It was a big bridge. Grey and metal looking.
Bridges represent transition?

Aftermath of wind storm

After the wind storm I was walking around with a garbage bag to pack up the debris. But I couldn't find any. This one tree the person had cut up like julienne carrots for the recycling truck to pick up. There was one pile that I thought might pass as garbage but i think i was planning on coming back to it as it was quite large-ish.

There was lots of driving around on the roads too.
And I was living in this little cabin with 3 girls who each had cars but were car-pooling. There was a computer and a curtain seperating off one part. I felt threatened by the girls.

Also, I was riding a skateboard and it went into the road (I guess I fell off?) and dinged off a car and I had to go backwards to get it.
