Reclaiming Rustle

On Nov 26 (in Toronto) I didn't sleep very much. The brief dream I had involved people fighting, hitting, racing. A lady in a short skirt thinking I had done something wrong but not able to figure out what.

While lying awake that same night I had this vision (maybe more of a hallucination from lack of sleep) of people linked together with metal prongs floating. I think it was in a bar- one of the people was smoking.
My thought after seeing it was that they were 'held together by the world' (or worldly things)

On Nov 28 (St. C) I had this 'Reclaiming Rustle' dream. There was dirt or dust all over Rustle. Like there had been an explosion. Al was taking the paintings down to clean them and reclaim them. Myron was working on the wall. There were holes in the wall that you could put a key in to fix. I put the backwards end of the wrong key in, but it still fixed it.

Annette was taking the school bus too (as well as AJ) and I met up with her.(at Queen's?) Lesley was there for a meeting. She disappeared. Maybe the meeting was at 8:30am. Maybe I was late.

Then I woke up , got back to sleep and had this between 7-8am
Everything was a shambles. It was a prayer day but I had forgotten it was a pray at home day and I was trying to figure out what to wear. I had my purse and camera bag. I decided to change so I had to take them off. There was a clock that was telling me the time in this white square hole. Water was starting to drip in it, faster and faster. There was someone praying in the next room but I couldn't hear what they were saying. I walked into my bedroom and realized that that was being renovated as well as there was just my bed and the rest of the room was barren. There were others praying.

In C.P.'s house

Some of us were staying over at Christine's house. It was a big house, with lots of rooms. There were lots of people in the house who I did not know. They were teenagers, a lot of them. They had to share space. We all did.

Lisa and Gabby were in one room. Gabby was sleeping and Lisa was smiling and doing what she had to do. All of a sudden, Gabby woke up screaming and her whole body was twisting. Lisa ran to her. I could see Gabby's legs. They were much longer than he current age. Maybe 4 or 5. She was still wearing diapers. The diaper had leaked and her pants were very wet. Quite understandable why she was so upset.

Bird movement

In a pet store with Kim, picking up things for the birds when I realized that I was going away tomorrow and she would need to look after the birds, so should she take them today. She agreed that she should and so I dumped their water out for the trip (IRL Kim is taking the birds in about a week when we go to St. C.)

Then we walked through this billowy walkway back to my house.

My mom was over at my house and I decided to make dinner. I was making chicken weiners. I asked my mom how many she wanted. Hesitantly, she said 1. And I said - was there a problem digesting the last time (apparently all I serve my mom is chicken weiners) and she said no, last time was fine. I was trying to get her to eat more than one. Then the front door opened. It was Matty and Natty, two guys who were tenting/ staying with us. I went to the door and ushered them into the back to meet my mom (the room we were in was like the extension on the St. C house) They did, and shook her hand. Neither my mom nor I commented that Natty's name was like my brothers, but we both thought it.

Then a racoon woke me up outside at 3:40am. I'm still up!

Tea biscuits and coffee

I went and ordered 2 cups of coffee from this canteen type thing. Some guy had been ahead of me in line and had paid $4. I had a coupon and they were charging me $6. I said, well then I only want 1. Which was only $2. I said I wanted a business one, because that is what the coupon was for. She said they were all business ones. (Why was I getting coffee- I don't like coffee?)

Making something in the oven. Myron asked where the muffin cups were. I was annoyed, I didn't know. He took the tea biscuits out of the oven. They were shaped like ice cream cones but were in the muffin cups. I didn't think they were done. But when I looked closer some of them were done.

Kim was coming over and she was going to stay in James' room. I was cleaning it up while she stood outside. I was putting a new pillowcase on the pillow. There was some laundry on the floor that I was picking up.

Voting with Melissa

at 5am I woke up after this dream:
I went with Melissa to vote. The location we went to vote was under repair. We walked in and Melissa voted, but I was unsure if I had the correct identification, so I decided not to vote. I thought you needed the new cross border ID to vote, so I put my voting card down on my lunch tray and went to have lunch. But Melissa told me that I could just use my drivers license or health card, so then I wanted to vote again. But my voting card was on my lunch tray and the tray had been picked up, so I went to the rack of trays to look for it. I found an old voting paper with my name on it, but not the card. Melissa was reading a book while I looked.

at 7am I woke up after this dream:
I was at military work and was going to run a 2:30pm class, but for some reason felt I did not have to go to the class. I was trying to help this small woman with dark hair. she was also military involved and had kids. I did not know her name. I kept trying to ask her name but she was busy. One of her kids had poured molasses on the bed. She and I were going to go to a coffee place. But then I realized that was the same time as my class and I did need to be at my class! So then I was trying to find her to tell her.
I was at my computer and there were books and things on my chair and I was taking them off. As I was doing that, a guy tried to take the chair. I told him no, that was my chair and there were plenty of other chairs in the room that were not in use. I pointed to one. He got another chair.
There was a going on at someone's house and we were in groups. I saw a girl in another group that I talked to as we clicked. Her name was also Aphra. I came back to my group and Michelle asked me what her name was. I told her.

Ignoring an opening

Two nights ago I had this dream:
I was teaching two (1 hour) classes back to back but in two different locations. I had to end the first one early to make it to the second one.
(yesterday I did have 2 classes back to back but they were in the same location. They were also 3 hour classes.)

Last night:
Peg sent me an email about a job, but I had ignored her and she was upset with me (in real life I don't think I would have ignored her)

Casino games for children

There was a table for children and a casino guy was sitting there with the kids playing a game with them. He was calling out numbers and they were covering them. Tara knew what she was doing but James wasn't so sure. Then Sarah But... explained to me what she did with the cards so that the kids could play and I hadn't done that when I gave the cards to the casino guy.

We were going to the mall. James was in a stroller. We went over some construction/rough terrain. We were going to leave the stroller in front of the step as we went in the mall. My mom went to tell the construction guy, but I wasn't too concerned (about the safety of the stroller).

Myron, Gerald and Jo were asleep on the futon (eyes closed-not seeing) I was leaving to drive to the Church.
I was talking with Kim and trying to clean up James' blankets that were on the floor while still talking to her.
She was talking about how she had new tenants and they had to hire a cleaning service. (messy) The new tenants liked hotels and thought the maids should be their girlfriends. (entitled)
IRL Kim is having new tenants move in Dec. 1 unless the house sells.

I looked up Duck in the dream dictionary and added that to the post below.

Carrying the duck

I went to this cafe to work. As I arrived for my first day, the owner was outside telling me I shouldn't bother starting, that the cafe was going to close. He had a bunch of men with him. I said ok but pretty much just ignored him and went in. I didn't tell the lady who ran it about my confrontation. She was pretty busy. I'm not sure if she noticed me. She didn't give me anything to do right away, so I thought I would start by learning all the prices. I was going to start at the dessert wall. There were lots of choices.

There was a family that came in with 4 children and they needed some help making sure they went to the bathroom or something.

Then a winter storm hit. An ice storm. I was trying to help my new co-workers. WE were on a farm. I had to carry the duck that we were taking to the vet. We went out back. The ice had leveled a lot of the gates. I looked up- the power lines were still up, but I didn't trust them, so while the people I was going with walked around the snowbank (under the power lines), I walked over the snowbank (no power lines) with the duck. The duck was getting more agitated and started biting my hands. I understood his agitation.

I looked up Duck in a dream dictionary and it said:
A duck is a very interesting bird and the message it conveys is generally positive. Ducks are well adopted to navigate and survive on land and in the water. They can swim, walk, and fly. Ducks are flexible and multi-talented. Dreaming about this bird suggests that you, or someone else in your life, is very flexible and can competently deal with emotional issues. Superstition-based dream interpretations say that ducks are very good omens and that you will "float" away from your current difficulty.
Floating away sounds good to me!

Collapsable shelving

I had these dreams on Wed. morning, just haven't had time to write them here.

I went down to a shed or storage area. The walk was downhill. I found the shelving I wanted and collapsed it so I could carry it back to where I needed it. I put it over my shoulder and though it looked bulky, it wasn't too difficult to carry.

James was playing around by the side of the road and a fire truck was going by with its lights and siren going. James ran toward it to touch it. The fire truck slowed down because it was worried that it would hurt him. Jordan came and pulled James out of harms way. I was thankful.
