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.

Humming

I walked in to Next Church but there was noone in the sanctuary. One (I + others) could hear a humming coming from somewhere in the building. So we decided to follow the hum. We found large room where a lot of people were sitting in pews and humming. It was set up sort of like St. Johns(?)- the anglican Church down by Portsmouth Village. When you walked in there were some pews ahead and you were at the back of the Church. I sat beside Gary (pastor of Next) and Shannon. They were humming. On my other side were Clint and Jen. Clint offered me a bag of candy and told me, happily, that there was only one yellow egg salad flavoured one. I was actually disappointed because I liked the yellow ones. It's the orange ones I didn't like. I made a face when I ate them. Clint told me some things that he discovered he can't eat. I understood, there's a lot of things I can't eat as well.

Some students were talking to me about the area of Engineering they wanted to go into. One's grades were not good enough and he was forced to go into General Science.

Driving down the hill we had to turn at the second right to get to the hot air balloons.

then I woke up at 4am

Reunion

In my dream there was this elderly Japanese couple. Very stately- they may have been ambassadors. There was a young girl (well, my students' age, so about 19-20) with them. I think she may have been one of my students. (Robin) They were walking around the courtyard looking intently. Looking for something. Suddenly there was a shout! They had been found. Maybe the girls parents. It was so beautiful, I was crying (in the dream). I wanted to watch but there were too many people in the way. When all the people cleared the jubilant part of the reunion was over and they were sitting down and talking.
The joy of being found.

In another dream, I was walking trickily through the city. Climbing on high bits. Having to tread very carefully.

I was at a dutch store and there was chocolate out that the kids were eating. I was unsure - I thought we should still pay for the chocolate. One child left some chocolate on the floor and told me not to touch it. I told her not to worry about me! I wasn't going to touch it.

Yesterday, I dreamt I was in a big room and there were chairs set up in a circle. We were playing some giant version of go fish. You had to choose someone and ask if they had a certain card. Tony was sitting across from me. He picked me. I picked the guy sitting next to him whose name was Ron King. (I know no such person in real life) I was cracking up a lot (in the dream) because his last name was King and we were playing a card game. Like roll on the floor funny in my dream. When I woke up I wasn't sure why I was SO amused. It is really not that funny! But at least I have fun in my dreams!

Hiding and deciding

In yesterdays dream I was with a bunch of animals that were deer-like. We were worried about an enemy. We kept turning toward where we thought the enemy was but we couldn't see the enemy. I was trying to blend in. I could see some leopards among us, but noone seemed worried about them.
Were we not discerning correctly?
Were we ignoring the enemy within?
Should you keep your face to the enemy?


Last night I dreamt that we were at Don's house with his family. They had some sort of ice cream counter set up and there was a list of how you could arrange the toppings on top. I was trying to explain it to James and get him to decide. There might have been a daycare there as well.
Surprisingly, within hours of having this dream, I ran into Don and I hadn't seen him in about 6 months (maybe more)

signature

There was a girl who was leading others astray. Her father made her sign a document to say she wouldn't do that anymore. The document kept coming up in the dream. Everytime she did something wrong the document would come out.
Then, either we were in the middle of, or we were watching a soap opera. Al said the casting for the children was really poor. This is because they were casting for a look, not abilities. There was Moose and Piper. Moose- a guy who looked like he had antlers and Piper- a thin sick looking girl.
There was a new device to mow lawns. I was trying to help this couple. The guy was using the new device on one part of the lawn and I was doing something on the other side of the lawn. There was a guy across the road who was laughing as the new mowing machine. It was like a whippersnipper but the circle was much bigger and it strapped on to your body. The guy gave up after doing one part of the lawn and then I took it up for the second part. I asked the lady if I was doing it right. She didn't really know.
I was washing a window in an underground cave like place. I could see the signature girl through it but I pretended I didn't. I would let her come to me. It seemed the best method.
There was also something that happened in a big arena, but that has disappeared.

Work

I woke up at 4:30 and got back to sleep fleetingly about 6:30am and had a couple of dreams all mostly relating to my work.

In one we couldn't hold our introductory session in our regular room. I'm not sure what was wrong with the room but my boss took the students downstairs. I stayed up in the room- I think it was my room. After the first session he came back up to my room. He was going to try to make it into what he needed. So he plugged in the computer on the floor and it showed up a bit on the wall. But not great. I wasn't quite sure why he came back. The room also seemed too small.

In another one, I was in my lab room and they were doing renovations. New wallpaper. Then they were doing more- they had boarded off one of the doors. My students were in the dark. I went to turn on the light but the lightswitch was boarded over and blue sparks were coming out. I ran out the alternate door to get Randy. I think I told the students to get out. I ran down the hall and Randy and some guys were getting on a elevator with a trolley. When I told them what was happening, I think they all ran down the hall toward my class.

There were ants in my bathtub, also some thing with pincers. I didn't want James to see them.

I think yesterday or the day before, my dream was about this apartment building. Going up and down. Dealing with situations.

Floating

I woke at 4am after having this dream:
In my dream Esther-Faith was in the middle of a pool with a big cake. She was having no problems swimming and eating the cake (in real life she is disabled). It was like a carrot cake with frosting. She thought it was yummy.

I had a thought that as we die and enter heaven we need to be washed of this world.

That it is really important to consider life and death situations.

My alarm woke me at 6:15am out of this dream:
I was in Australia and flying out with all my family. My parents. Nanny. A whole group of us. I was looking at the ticket and not understanding it. Was I on the right day? I called the stewardess over and she was looking at the ticket when I realized we were already airborne. But as quickly as I realized that, we were heading back to the ground again. The plane had some sort of problem. So it landed and we got off and had to try to figure out when we were going to get another plane to take us. The airport was quite small. I met some of the other people waiting. Nanny was not feeling well on the plane. They had a bed fer her to lie down on.

book

There was a book about the universe. On the cover was a grey cloud and on top of it was a many sided apartment building, in light colours- white, yellow and orange. I thought it would be a good book for my mom.

I had Peter in front of a large wall of cubbyholes. He was supposed to pick something from on of the holes, but instead he turned and went over to another shelf and wanted an old dime that had some old writing on it. I didn't know whose they were. I looked around for someone to ask, but Peter had already decided.

I looked out the back window and saw James and Myron about to head off to hockey on the bike. There was another guy in the back with his child who was also going with Myron and James. He went to the cafe church. I went downtown and found the church. There were these stairs you had to go up first. I was reluctant to go.

feast

We were having a feast at our church (IRL we ARE having a feast at our church but nothing like what I dreamed!). The room was much bigger than our Rustle Church. The tables were all lined up in rows, everyone facing the front. I think there were about 400 people there. A lot of them were immigrants. They asked who from the Church (that we were at) was there and I raised my hand. There were only 7 of us. 7 putting this whole feast on. And I was underneath the table playing with the kids and listening to their stories.

I went to the grocery store when it was just opening. I was walking up and down row by row. They had names on a board. I had my name but I wanted to exchange it for 'Hannah'. The lights flickered a lot. I was still walking up and down the aisles. I looked at the cash desks. I decided I wanted to go to #8 when I was done shopping. I caught the girls' eye.

accidents

When I woke up at 3am, I had had 2 dreams and I repeated them over to myself in hopes I would still remember in the morning. Well, now it's the evening and I remember one of them:

I was driving on a fire truck behind an other fire truck. We were going quickly, it must have been an emergency. There were fire people hanging on the ladders. It was my job to catch the lady on the ladder if she fell off.

Maybe the other will come back to me later.

I had another dream that after I eventually got back to sleep. In that dream I was driving our car. I was driving fast for the conditions. There was a 4 way stop I was approaching from the north (Kingscourt and 7th maybe). There were so many cars parked along the side of the road that it made it hard to see what was coming. I stopped at the 4 way stop, but only briefly and went again. There was a dark car that was stopped at the 4 way, but may have been parked. I didn't stop long enough to find out. Then I made a right onto 5th and a left onto Nelson and there were cars parked on both sides. I was going quickly still- I slowed a bit as I was really close to one car. We watched and I made it by without hitting it! But then I sped up and the car landed in the ditch.

I am hoping this dream just has to do with my anxiety over using the car, but now Myron and James are out at gym, that makes me worried too. Fingers crossed that they get home safe.

Closing the Lower Courtyard

When I woke up at 5am, this was the dream I remembered and when I woke up I knew it was time to close the lower couryard.
There were all this waterslides side by side. People were having fun. I was by the side working really hard to finish something off. I was giving it my all. James was watching.

I got back to sleep for a short time between 6:30-7 and had a funny dream where Oakley was too small to pee standing up beside the toilet, so he stood in the toilet to go pee. Myron was driving us somewhere, but he got lost. He had this cardboard box in the back, that when I checked was full of chocolate. Heaps of chocolate.

We had bought a church to live in and the church was meeting outside. Who was keeping it clean? When I walked in I said "monkey" but there were other people in the church- I had to go around the corner to find James. As I was walking up to the church house, a blue jay swooped at me and I crossed the street. The path was narrow and there were people on it- i almost fell off.

laundry

With regards to the post below- I don't really know what a headpiece is- I can just think of something a bride might wear?

Last night, I dreamt that James was helping me with the laundry by hanging it. But he had dropped some of it on the ground, so there was dirt on them. But it was ok, I would wash them again later. He was happy to be helping me.

I was awakened at 4am by a neighbours party and have been up since then.
