Dreaming of Rustle

I dreamt of Rustle a lot last night, some of it was very hazy and some quite clear. I'll try to get down what I can remember.

Most of the dream took place in a location of Rustle, though it didn't LOOK like Rustle, it changed in look but it always looked homey- like someone's house. At one point it was Bob and Karen's house. I was getting something to make a sandwich with from their fridge. I had to be careful not to pick out Peter's food. I got some meat and some cheese with a funny rim. I wanted some vegetables but I'm not sure if I found them. I went to my spot at the table to put the sandwich together. There was a baby there with Sarah (Riley's mum) and the baby just kept being sick. She said it always happened around lunchtime.
In a living room, we were discussing issues. The room was full. When the meeting broke up, one lady was trying to get everyone to have her tea, but some people had already had tea. As many people had filed out, I hugged Jasmine. We talked.
There were accusations that people were using some illegal thing with money, and I looked and there was a long line up for something. I told my mom that at least they don't do it inside the church building. Then there would be a problem.
Someone came in and said they were a friend of the Peters', I said I was too. He said that a friend of Jord's had died. He was very upset. I think Jord knew already. She was upset too.
There was a young girl who wanted to give me a cheque. She was sobbing. She wanted to help orphans with AIDS. She gave me the cheque, but it was not filled out properly, but I could fix it, just the numbers needed to be filled in. She had written in the amount- eight hundred and something.

At 3am, I woke from this one:
I saw Karen S., Annette, Lisa and I in 4 seperate corners of a room, but the distance across the room was so big, though we were in one room, we were very seperate.

In another instance, I was trying to get the batteries out of something that was not working to put new ones in. Karen S. came up to me.

I had a large pile of marked tests. I think I was giving them back so that people could improve on the next test. The test were marked liberally. You got 2/5 for a triangle even if you did it completely wrong, just for trying. You would get 10/25 on the test just for trying. There was still one test for Karen S. to write. There may have been more for the rest of us.

Students

There were a couple of lost students in my dream. I was trying to help them. They had an old lab book and they were looking for the student named in it.
Lesley was there as some student liason. She had a pumpernickel loaf filled with cream cheese in her hand. She said that she meets with students, sometimes in large groups, sometimes one on one.

Chasing a dog through Loblaws

I was chasing this big golden retreiver through 3 floors of loblaws, mainly in the stairwells. I was on the 3rd floor when I finally caught him with a ball, then gave him some popcorn.

Breaking through

In my dream, Al and I were taking the sunday school class (we are an unlikely duo to do this in real life, but this is how it goes in the dream). We took them downstairs, which was a large, well-lit room, with a square bathroom stall off to one side. The bathroom was white and square and the floor was flat (yes, that was a detail in the dream- I thought- my the floor is so flat!)
We rearranged the room so that the chairs only filled up half the room and divided up the group. Some sat in the chairs, some were dancing in the open area behind the chairs.
Then Al took them to a door and he told them that the door had a shrek stuck in it on the other side and the kids started breaking down the door- bits of wood were flying everywhere. They triumphantly broke through!

Large scale

I had a lot of dream last night so hopefully they won't get all mushed up when I try to remember them.

There was a big building. Lots of work going on in it. Al was helping me with a desk- either planning for the install or designing. We had to take the piece of paper downstairs. This involved lots of clambering down stairs. When we got near the bottom there weren't any more stairs, just a 6 foot drop. It had to be jumped. Al was ahead of me and out the door by the time I got to the drop. I was hesitant, but I think I did it.

Rustle was in a big auditorium. Al was down at the front, worried, getting ready. I walked around the whole auditorium and saw how it was filling up. My friend Donna was seating people. I told her where I was planning on sitting in case she needed my help, but then I thought that maybe it was a better idea if I prayed at the back.

Then I went to this concert in a big hall. I think I went on my own, but James followed me there. Before the concert started I saw the female singer moving this giant black thing in front of her (speaker?). My thought was- my she really is tall! Then I went into the concert hall but I had to keep leaving because of James needing my help. At one point a number of them were wearing life jackets as they were doing some kind of safety drill on a boat.

I was sitting at a table with some people, eating breakfast. The pot I was getting the stuff from was my activia pot, but it was myron's cottage cheese-yogurt blend. I had 3 bites and then I explained how disgusting it was.

I made a call on the phone to someone- they picked up and said hello when they were picking up, but they wouldn't say anything else.

Contaminant

In my dream I was poisoning the people I loved so I wouldn't have to take care of them.

I think I woke up after that one, then went back to sleep and dreamt I was making cookies with James and he put the spoon in the peanut butter pan and then back in the cookies, thus contaminating them. I was -you're allergic to peanuts and he was- no i'm not.

Think I need a vacation much?

Group

I dreamt there were a number of us in the gym. We had been divided up into 4 equal groups and had done things with the groups. The last thing was we were to stand in a circle and talk about something (each person in the circle). One group had some members break away and join another group, so one group was very big and one group very small. The other 2 groups were unaffected. I was in the big group. There was a black guy who wanted to stand next one of the other white girls (maybe they were dating). So we started going around the circle but we got stuck at one point and as we were such a big group and had a stuck point, we never finished. The time was up and people started playing with balls. But there was another group in the gym - a woman looking after toddlers and baby bunnies. The toddlers were wandering around, in danger of getting hit by the balls. I told the woman that she should tell them to be careful and not bounce the balls in the gym when her charges were there.
The bunnies were all lying in rows, eating bread and drinking water. I asked what happened when they needed to pee and got an immediate answer as one peed straight up in the air and I had to duck for cover.

Double dipping

There was a guy with a table for ice cream tasting. There were different flavours of ice cream on the table on paper mats. I guess one of the flavours was very good and I dipped my spoon back in. And the guy freaked. He told me how unhygenic it was. He lifted up the mat and showed me there was written on the bottom about no re-dipping and how he would now have to throw it out. I couldn't understand in the dream why he couldn't give me the ice cream because I had 'contaminated' it. But that would be rewarding bad behaviour wouldn't it?

Alex

In my dream I was helping these women from Iran. Some of them were missing fingers. They were doing better here.
I was in Church, near the front. Someone called to me and I looked back a number of rows and there was Alex. During a break I went out to talk with him. He told me he had lost his wife and his job. He seemed despondant. I prayed for him right there. I didn't ask him if it was ok, I just did. I prayed for direction. When I was done praying, he put my arm down. He didn't want people to see that I was praying.

Wayne

I dreamt I was married to Wayne Gretski. (spelled wrong on purpose!- I don't want people googling him and then telling Janet about my dream -I can't believe James' hockey addiction has infiltrated my dreams) We were on vacation and he was never at the hotel. So I went shopping but didn't know when to be back. I took some stuff out of shops. One was a nice looking black dress, but I didn't think it was me, so I returned it. As I was bringing it up to the counter a guy on the same side of the counter as me said that all returns need a recipt. But I just ignored him. I didn't have a receipt. I just left it on the desk and that was fine. Henriette was upset about the return. She said she would have hemmed it for me. But it wasn't the hem that was the problem. She couldn't have fixed it. I also returned a book about the same way- just leaving it on the desk.
Then we were outside and eating. There were these seeds in the thing we were eating that I kept having to spit out. They were round. Some of them were clear and some were black.

Last night I dream that I was using a mixer in the same room that Al was speaking in. It was a strange mixer- the beaters could be bent back.
