School and Sad News

Last night I dreamed I was younger, in high school, and went to the elementary school on campus to check out a book for my high school boyfriend's little sister. But it wasn't a book, it was a pair of tights and a matching scarf. I walked through the halls and said hello to teachers and staff I knew. The dream changed to a big outdoor concert/party that was ending. As we packed up our camping chairs we said goodbye to a few friends and headed out. We had to walk quite a ways to get to our vehicle. As we were loading our stuff into the car my cell phone rang, it was my mother in law. My husband's dad died, she said. I was stunned and I gave the phone to my husband and we were both upset. Then I woke up.

Jogs and Barns

Last night I dreamed I went for a jog, a really long jog, with a cigarette. I don't smoke anymore so that is doubly odd. I also dreamed across the street from my parent's house, in the field, was a barn that belonged to a friend. He was trying to determine exactly how he was going to use the barn but my father in law offered to buy it from him. My friend declined but that night, during a terrible storm, the barn collapsed. The next day I called my friend and told him to come over so he could see what happened. He was terribly upset but my father in law came along and again offered to purchase the barn. I woke up.

House Shopping

Last night I dreamed we were shopping for a house in another state. Because the house was in X county the insurance would be X amount but we were quoted at Y amount. We did not understand why it was so much more until our real estate agent called and said the house wasn't in X county but in Y county. Y county had unsafe drinking water hence the more expensive rate. That's all I can remember of the dream.

Makeup, a snake, and a show

Last night I dreamed I was in a drug store and looking at all the cosmetics. Only one brand offered samples of their products and I was having a good time thoroughly looking through each item and testing it out. My friend came through the doors and spotted me so she joined me in testing all the makeup items. The dream changed to a backyard at night. There was a truck, like a small moving truck, and there was something inside. The person on the back porch told me to be careful so I approached the truck slowly wondering what inside the truck could be so scary. I opened the back and immediately saw the cause for her concern: it was a huge snake. After I lifted the back the snake made its way to fresh air and for fear the snake might react to sudden moves, I didn't try to close the truck. The snake slowly made its way out of the truck and since it blended in with the surroundings and it was night, it pretty much disappeared. I didn't know what to do. I worried the snake could hurt a child or cause some fright to an adult. I called 3 departments of animal control and waited for their arrival while the woman on the porch yelled at me that it was my job to find the snake and make sure it got back into the truck. Then the dream shifted again and I was in a large set of bleachers waiting for a stage and water show to start. It was Tangled, on stage and water. I spotted a couple of friends in the crowd and went over to say 'Hi.' After the show I headed home but realized the location of the show and the way home were not at all familiar to me. I thought I had it figured out but was quite nervous once I turned down a long dark back road. Then I woke up.

Magic ATMs and Thanksgiving

The other night I dreamed about a bank that would count $1 as $76. If you placed your dollar bills into a particular envelope and deposited it into a special ATM, you would have $76 for every $1 you put in. You couldn't use five dollar bills or anything other than singles and scam artists started trying to replicate the ATMs so you had to be careful. The ATMs were generally near fast food restaurants and after ordering at a Wendy's I decided to deposit my stash of one dollar bills. I looked over the envelope and ATM and found everything in order so I put my money in. Later I checked my account and sure enough all the singles had been changed to $76 each. A few days later my husband accumulated a few singles and wanted to deposit them. We were out, near a Taco Bell, and he spotted an ATM. I went over to look at it and it didn't seem right. It was different than the ones I'd used before. I told him I didn't think we should use it, it might be a fake. He dismissed my concern and was loading the ones into the envelope, which also looked fishy, and I told him there was another ATM nearby that I knew for sure was legit and asked to go there. He said there was no need, this was fine, and he dropped the envelope in. Within minutes, some thugs showed up with a gym bag, cracked open the wall, and loaded all the money into the bag then took off. The dream then changed to a big get together in a dining hall. It was Thanksgiving and hundreds of people were gathered to eat. Most people brought dishes to add to the buffet. There were several sweet potato dishes, mashed potatoes, turkeys, and vegetables. We ate in shifts. X amount of people could go to the food table then return to their seats to eat while the next group of people went to get their food. It was quite interesting but everyone was fed. Then I woke up.

Dinner and Appliances

Last night I dreamed I came home to find a guy I went to high school with cooking dinner for my family, including my brother and sister in law. The ingredients he had laying around looked odd and the smells weren't all that appetizing but it sure did look good. I wandered around the house and since it wasn't my house (in real life) I was interested in it's layout. I decided the laundry room needed a makeover so the next day I went to a local appliance store and asked for help finding top loader washers and matching driers. The store was huge so it took quite some time to shop and compare. I was pretty certain which set I wanted but wanted to sleep on it so I decided to poke around the store to see what all they had. I was enjoying looking around but realized I was late for another appointment so I left. Then I woke up.

Celebrities

Last night I had a brief dream within a dream. My husband and I took a road trip and at a toll I gave the man my money and based on the change he gave me the toll cost over $5. I told him that couldn't be right, the charge was closer to $2. He did some figuring then in a hurry handed me more money to correct the change amount. I drove away and realized he paid me to go through the toll rather than the other way around. At one point we pulled off at an exit to use the bathroom and get something to eat. As we crossed over a bridge and descended into this town I told my husband, "I had a dream just like this the other night, deja vu!" and I could recall the details of the dream and was spotting them as they happened. After using the bathroom we walked down a street headed to a fast food place to get a little food and Betty White was there. She stopped and asked us a question. As she walked away I kept poking my husband saying, "Is that really who I think it is?!" Suddenly the dream changed and I was with my parents and my daughter at an amusement park near a beach. We were walking around looking at all the sights. We heard there would be a show soon of a stuntman on an airplane. We were trying to figure out exactly where to go for the show but realized it wouldn't start for quite some time so we went into a restaurant and chose a table. There were two choices: a very small table (not even really big enough for two people) or a very long large booth. We took the booth then laughed at how we had to strain to talk to each other. The dream changed again and I was working on the farm I had worked at as a young teen. While working I cut myself and went to a clinic to get looked at. While waiting, Jason Alexander (aka George Costanza) was causing a scene with a doctor. He was complaining that his medication wasn't right. During the scuffle I was called back to see the doctor. He determined I needed stitches and went to get his supplies and a nurse to help. While waiting, I peeked out the door to see if the drama was over. It wasn't. He actually came to my room and was explaining why he was so upset. I told him to just calm down and take a seat, which he did, and I listened as he recapped all that had happened. At first I thought maybe he was just a little crazy but after listening to him tell the whole story, it made sense. I told him I would help him and he looked so thrilled and relieved. The doctor returned and I woke up.
