House

The children at Rustle were playing in the coatroom (not existant in real life). Some were falling. Be careful.

There was a house that we were de-bricking (taking all the bricks off). I had to climb a wall to get the last bricks, then we were done! It was totally without a shell, I assume that was going to be put on?

I was at another house (or the same house with a white shell) and I was walking around it. There was some sort of time limit. Someone was following me, but not too close. I decided to jump in a big hole by the house to get away. (this doesn't make much sense in real life!)

Performance

Dreamt about being in a house/church caring for some children. Tanya and Lisa were there- they had sunburns. I had to keep things going. There were performers outside (4) and 2 horses. They were performing for the children. One performer fell and hurt her foot but she had to keep going. The time for the children was not yet done.

Fridge

Our neighbours gave us a fridge a while ago that we kept in our garage. I wanted to give it back to them, but the beige-y paint was peeling off. I decided to touch it up before I gave it back to them. My touch up paint was blue. I told them if they didn't like it, they could repaint the whole thing when they got it back.

I was in a store looking for something. My mother wanted me to pick up 3 things (maybe in addition to what I was looking for?), one was fireside biscuits. I think she wanted them for my dad.

A spam wall broke and my computer email was flooded with spam.

When I woke there was a loud piercing noise. I thought it was the smoke detector running low on batteries, but it may have been a bird.

Water

Dreamt about a model from a commercial who was decapitated (that'll teach me to watch tv before bed!)

There were these dogs and cats on my back porch and I kept taking out a hose and drenching them with water. Why didn't they go away?

Film crew

I had to take a bus. I was trying to sort out what route. Judy asked me to go with her. I asked her, wouldn't this other route be better? But she wanted to go this way. So we waited- it was a bus stop with a shelter. It was situated at the top of a T-junction in the road. One bus went by and made a left in front of us. It didn't turn correctly into its lane and it was heading toward oncoming traffic for a short bit. Someone had to avoid it, but then it got into it's own lane. The next bus that was coming we thought was ours and waved, but it also turned left, away from us.

I was on a film crew with 2 big jobs to do on site. It was too much, I had to stop. I looked down - I could see the red banner. I could see the white limo arriving. I wanted to be there, but needed the rest.

One armed man

I was at a hospital visiting a man with only one arm, the other was missing. He was talking and talking about lots of things, but did not mention the missing arm once. It seemed odd. He kept his good arm hanging over his head a lot to try to make it seem like he was not missing an arm?

May 15 & 17

Dreams from May 15

James was at a hockey game in the 3rd period in a gym. His red and black plastic goalie wasn't performing so he game it a kick. There were little pieces all over the gym floor (not related to the kick) and real players as well.

There was a Chinese girl who was my student. I think she was saying something about her partner(in the lab). I asked who he was. She gave me lots of different answers (she didn't want to get him in trouble?) The first name she gave me I didn't recognize and I said I didn't think he was my student. I asked her to tell me again so I could write it on my hand and look him up. The name I had on my hand when I looked later was Jeff Jeffs (what kind of a name is that?) Her partners' actual name was Damien Moore and he came by to see me because he had forgotten to return a journal and they were blocking everything until he did. He didn't say anything to me, just put the magazine down. I think I said thank you.

Lynann had left me this big pile of papers to go through. Some of it overheads. I was trying to make sense of it. She was watching me.

Dreams from May 17

Lynann was standing outside a bathroom and I thought we were both going in, but only I went in. As I walked through I saw they were renovating it and there weren't any bathrooms left. Why didn't she tell me?

So I went down the hill to find other bathrooms. I went after 4 silly girls who went down the hill very dangerously and probably got hurt. I slid carefully.

It was the Pope's birthday (note that on May 16 I also dreamed about the Roman Catholic Church- what is going on here?)- someone woke the Pope to tell him this and immediately he jumped up and went to stand on his wood stumps. A snake charmer with 3 snakes had been hired by the head of the Center (which I found out the day before in real life had just closed) It was a pretty cool display of the snakes for me, my mom and the Pope. He twisted them together and spun them around. When he was done, he wanted to be paid, so my mother was going to pay him.She wanted to know how much he wanted. He said whatever she felt. So she had to decide. What she first pulled out, she thought would only be enough for a deposit, so she brought out more. I wanted to know how much she paid so I could get the Center to pay her back.

I was up at 5am and when I got back to sleep I had this dream:

James and I were in the back of a very long car driven by some black people. There was another car that was part of our group. They were driving pretty crazy. We narrowly missed getting squeezed by a truck. Then we were in the fast lane. I didn't see what happened next but I could feel the car hitting the guardrail on the left and being bent over in the seat. When the car stopped moving, I looked over at James and he was hanging out of his carseat. I picked him up and was walking with him (carrying him). We had both died. I said (smiling) would I like soap or shaving cream? (joke that had been running though my dreams at night about dying. I do not get the joke in real life)

(That day (May 17), my parents arrived for a visit and James and I went out for a drive with them. My dad does not drive crazy at all, nor were we on a highway. But when we were stopped for someone to make a left turn, a car a few behind us did not stop and hit the car in front. It was just a fender bender. Noone died. But a bit startling, anyway)

Prayer

I haven't had a chance to post yesterday's dream yet, but last night's was so interesting, I'm posting it quickly:

I was at a funeral. It was upstairs from a playtrium like place. It was an open casket. I did not know the man. He was Italian-looking, old and had big bags around his eyes. We were all walking in a line around the room. I did not want to look at the casket. There was a woman in a beige skirt and I 'saw' her pray for the man to live (ie. it wasn't anything physical she did, I just saw the prayer ascend). I knew the prayer was going to be answered. The line continued. I saw the man in the casket twitch, like doing an abdominal crunch. People were not concerned. They said it was a post-mortem thing. That is was just gas. The line continued. Then the man got out of the casket and walked around. I went up to the woman in the beige skirt and told her God had answered her prayer because He wanted to show what He was doing in the Roman Catholic Church.

God answers prayer in His season for His purpose.

Children's event

I went to Sandy G's house to invite her to a children's event. She had this weird make-up on and told me that I was not old enough to go. But she was maybe thinking of a mature event. I felt I was not mature. I explained that that was not the same event. Maybe they were in the same place.
I got to the place with James but there was no direction there. So I looked in a couple of rooms and picked one which had a giant train like track in the center. There were black things that flicked up and down instead of trains though. When we walked in the room, it actually looked much bigger. There was a sky and it was like being outside. It was an amazing room.
At one point, either before or after we found the room, I tried to leave the building but I found I was only in my socks and I ran back.

Mysteries

There was a person trying to deliver a pizza but could not find the person, so she stopped me and showed me the pizza. It was certainly not an appetizing looking pizza- spinach and lots of brown stuff. Probably quite healthy! I took her into the apartment building where she was trying to deliver it, but none of the names matched who she was trying to deliver it to. I had a page of snapshots of everyone from the apartment building with their names, but still no luck. We went up to my apartment. The pizza came with an octopus (this part must come from me watching the Detroit game) which we threw out. Then we sat around talking, trying to figure out the mystery. I suggested that she try apt. 1, because the name might have been similar. We made a list of apartments to try. It could have been a scam, but she said while she had the time, she might as well figure it out. Her fingernail were painted a dark colour and she had panels in her toungue that matched her nail polish.

(then I woke at 6am)

After getting back to sleep, I dreamt that Next and Rustle were in this stadium type thing and we could wander around and talk to each other. I was talking to one father of a baby and he said that his wife was missing her wedding ring and that one time when he was changing the baby, he found the baby had eaten it!
Then I had this piece of cardboard with a face and with some (real) hair on it that you could style. There was a girl who was a bit clingy who was talking to me about it. The 'toy' may have belonged to Sarah Bz for when her students were waiting for their lessons.

Bus

James and Myron were getting set to take the 7:45am bus. I looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:50 and we opened the back door and heard the bus go down victoria. so they had to wait another 1/2 hour. This was ok as they really only needed to take the 8:15.

Stretching

I was in a grocery store and I was buying things for other people. On leaving the grocery store, someone told me that I had to start stretching myself and start wearing skirts.
After I left the store, there was this car that was driving erratically; pulling in driveways and reversing quickly.
I thought- what am I in for?

Cookies

In my dream, Myron ruined James' birthday couch- took all the presents off and pulled it out.

Also I was making cookies and the tray popped and some cookie pieces fell on the burner. I was trying to get them off before the burner came on.

ETA: today I was making muffins and after I put my muffins in the oven, some of the muffin mix leaked out onto the burner and now my whole house smells burnt! (I use silicone muffin pans)

Smell

I was in a jungle on a cell phone to my mom. She told me that you can tell a place by it's smell. I got to a place where it was all swampy and there were crocodiles and I was like yeah, you can tell by the smell. You can tell danger by the smell.

Arizona

before I fell asleep, I just finished reading 'the other Boleyn girl'. It was hard to get to sleep after. I don't know if that has any bearing on my dreams!

I was giving out these cookies (they may have been ice cream cookies). I am not sure how I chose the people I was giving them to. People who needed them? I remember swirled cookies and someone putting a cookies that looked like an oreo but was much bigger and had a lot of ice cream in it in my basket to give away.

Gas prices were high. For some reason we needed to drive to Arizona and back in one day. A lot of gas. 4 hours of driving. (In real life Arizona is a lot further!) We were preparing.

Shari was brushing her teeth in the bathroom. I was waiting for the toothbrush. It was a battery operated one. I was watching what she did. I said that lots of people have those kind of toothbrush now.

Mexico

Our Church went on a field trip to Mexico. We went to a school (David & Jean's?) and they let us use the kindergarten room. We took purple flowers from one end of the room to a taped off area on the other. We knelt at the taped off area to lay the flowers down. There were some computers in the room that had email conversations between some ladies in the Church.

Then at another location I was at someone's house. I was helping cook. They had defrosted 2 pieces of chicken in a large rectangular pot with water and little plastic suction feet, so the chicken had these circles on it. The chicken was started boiling. But I didn't think it was enough so I got out some leftovers and put them in a round pot. I put so much in, I thought I had put too much.

Then I saw a flame on the burner. I switched off the power. Noone would believe me. I tried to show them where it was. Tried to explain.
