Laughing, eyeshadow and planning

I woke up laughing in the middle of the night although I don't remember the dream.

I dreamt that Natalie Portman was telling me how I was supposed to wear eye shadow. Not just as a helpful tip, but that it was almost a law, a social norm that I wasn't practicing but should.

I dreamt I was planning work travel and had forgotten several things.

Pubs, scooters and mystics

friday


...
Dreamed I owned a pub. It days before openning, people were milling around getting things set up. I felt like they all knew each other. Either they worked together before, or were part of the pub scene and were all leaving their places to come work together. The pub was in a different country either england or ireland. I was thinking to myself, was this a good idea? Wouldn't it have been easier to start a pub in the US? I know the ways of doing biz there and so on? But then I thought no... it takes the same skills, you just need to learn the little nuances of the rules here.

I was in a store like one of those pharmacy mart type stores. They had these little scooter things you run around the store in. I got on one and was running around seeing if the items I had bought in a previous purchase were still being carried so that I could return them. I had some christmas items and things. I was buzzing around the store and the older ladies working the store had their aprons on and made little conversation here and there and checking to see if I was finding everything ok. They felt cozy and unhurried. I felt uncomfortable because I just wanted to do what I needed and leave. I didn't feel nice in that I felt cold and rigid and they felt sweet and kind

Saturday

I dreamed I had a baby... not just was holding one, but just actually birthed one. It was very strange. They put the baby on my chest and I felt kind of nice towards it but at the same time felt like...when did this happen?!?!?! But there it was, so I needed to take care of it. Then it turned from a baby into a cat. They told me it was going to turn into a lion, so I had better be careful and give it everything it needs or I might have a mishap. It had gotten away, so I went around in a panic looking for it. Had I not fed it enough food and it was going to attack the neighbor or?? I finally found it and it had jumped back in to its cage/bed and was curled up. I felt there was no need to worry. Things would work out.

Dreamed I was supposed to meet this woman. She is currently a vendor I work with. She was picking me up and taking me somewhere and I had fallen asleep in her car. I woke up near the end of the long drive and apologized and felt very rummy and out of it. She said it was ok, but her face said differently. I think she was annoyed and feeling like I was a bit of a project. She said she had to take some items to the resale shop, so I waited in the car and watched as they went through her things.It seems she had a lot of nice things she was giving away and the store was quite a treasure trove. We left from there to go to a workshop of sorts that I found she was holding. It was in a strip mall in one of the empty retail spaces. Folding metal chairs were lined up classroom style and she was preparing in the front. People were milling in that all seemed to know each other and what she was about to speak about. I turned to look at her and realized I knew her from a session I had with her. She was some sort of ???? counselor/mystic and I completely didn't join the two. I immediately felt at ease around her then. She was starting to give her presentation but people were still passing out things.. one man put a dish in front of our table that looked like something wasabi and soy would go in. He put an "aromatic" in it (his words) and said for us to inhale it. Another woman was putting a drop of an oil on her breast and "serving it" that way. I passed on that one. Then Liam Neeson was in the back. He looked as he did in clash of the titans, but in robes. He was an evil presence there. He was trying to spoil her presentation and go after people, me being one of them. I conversed with him for a second (not sure what I said... but I think I was playing dumb to get away), then I ran out.

Shopping and red toe socks

I was shopping with a friend in a mall. I really needed a particular item (not sure what). She was looking around and talking to the shop girl (she is social like that). I was scanning the closing hoping to find what I was looking for. It looked like the store under bought for the season thinking it would be a bad year. Also the items they bought were more ...??? practical sporty and less their usual style. I felt like they had given up... Giving up their identity and their direction due to fear of what might come.

----

Then I was in a room... with family I think. My cousing that I don't see too often. She was wearing red wooly socks. I had a similar pair, the kind with separated toes, but mine had some cable-ing knitted on the top. I said.. I think you have one of mine.. she took of both. I said, no no.... just the one. Then I tried to put them on.

old dream - hug

I was with a guy that had a crush on me when I was in jr. high to high school. He was getting on my case about being guarded. I was sort of pleading with him for help or guidance and he gave me a hug and for about 2 seconds. I felt what it was like to not be guarded. It was pretty nice.

at ease

I had a dream about a friend of mine. He is very black and white and strict in reality. In my dream he was totally at ease with himself and laughing. It was nice to see him this way and felt good to be around him.

pool and broken men

Saturday... dreamed that I was playing pool, but it was different. You would move the ball with your hand and it would have to go into a dip on the table and then into the hole. I found a way to get it every time and I was so excited like I had found the keys to life or something.

------
Had another dream that I was looking for a doctor. I used to work in this building in marketing (in the dream)... and this presentation was being given for some announcement. They had rehearsed it days before on the steps I needed to go up. Today was the day of the presentation and the young office people were proudly giving their speaches that they had rehearsed. I was going to go in to my old office and use the computer but now there was no way I could do it. I decided to go back passed the stairs to where the clinics were, and was thinking about the plan and realized it wouldn't have worked anyway because the doors were locked and or I didn't have a current username and password. I was a little upset with myself for trying to be sneaky.


----

Another snipit a friend (CK) was cutting up an apple for me as we were looking for particular recipes in cookbooks.

-----
Another I was outside. It was like the home was a shack of sorts that was part indoor/part outdoor. It was someone's birthday and it was my job to get decorations. I felt lucky that I had found some perfect sets. There were hats, decor and table cloths. The decorations came in these unique birch wood boxes. They were an open frame box with only two sides covered in white birch bark. I was going to save them because they could be used as decoration or a planter later.

----

I was booking a massage for a boss (one I'm currently working for). I was focussed on efficiency and just getting it done while my coworker was distressed to think about efficiency and was focussed on the moment and each little detail. It was interesting to see and feel both.
The pluses of my way was that it would actually get done, when she would not finish things. The pluses of her way was that she put heart or time into her task if she was going to do it.
Hmmm....

-----
Then I was talking to my boss about finding the love of your life. He was saying how hard it was.... I was about to go on about "back in the day" with my grandparents... realizing he was their age and I didn't want to insult him.

-----

Then there was a big sale of items. I was going to try and sell them some other way, but then someone let people into the room with all of my things, so they assumed they were for sale. I hadn't had time to price things correctly and so wanted to put a sign up to ask or all items up for negotiation. Then I thought that was a bad idea... everyone would try to barter me down. I was talking to a friend of mine that was there with me looking at some knickknacks. A porcelain British fella in the short pants, long coat and funny hat was missing his little white base which most likely had his other foot on it. I was looking around for the piece hoping I could glue it back together. I had found a different base that some how was broken at the same angle and also had a spare foot. It wasn't right though. It was yellow and had a little shack on it with fish netting with words that said something about Mexico. I ended up finding the right base but it was crushed and cracked. Not fixable. My friend during this time was trying to tell me something. She said she had some new plan or thing to do in life and she decided to call Obama. I tried to get her to finish her story, but I think I interrupted her too many times.

I think there was another dream... it involved doughnuts.

New roommate and green david

I had a dream about that I was looking at this nice apartment. At first I just liked the place, then I realized it was ready to rent and that someone wanted me to be their roommate. I think I liked the person ok, so I was kind of excited. She was a sister of a friend that I didn't talk to much, but was complimented she wanted me as a roommate. We were checking out the space and getting excited. Then there was a party in the place. It was evening and lots of rowdy guys were there. People were drinking, bomb fires outside, fireworks etc...  Lots of people, then I started talking to this guy who was depressed. I had already lived in the future and I was trying to let him know everything would work out ok... beyond his dreams... He was taking ground up glass and rubbing it into his hand... then was going to put it in his eye and swallow it etc... He finally started listening and quit hurting himself.

Then I was in the basement and there were 6 washers.  I was wondering why there were 6 of them in a circle with one in the middle on a pedestal. That one was broken. There were many other items there to like old dirt bikes etc. I guess some foreign guys were the maintenance people and they would fix things... some things not.. and keep things around.

Remembered one from yesterday.

I was a friend's parent's house from highschool. They were gone on a long trip, and I was house sitting (see a theme??). A friend game over (GH) and he was checking the place out. He went into the garage and there was a big motorhome covered in plastic. It either was being protected or worked on. There were also lots of aisles and shelves all filled with different items. There were antique doors, clothes and a lifesize statue of David but it was green glass.





then I went to the backyard and I was at a friend's house.. was helpign him with his yard... moving things around. I wanted to park my car in the back but there was a wire fence. while he was talking to someone who stopped by, K moved the rest of the garden tools out of the back and rolled up the wire fence so I could drive through if needed...

framing info....

I dreamt that a friend of mine was giving me information on matte/frame/photo dimensions for a project that I'm actually working on at work. In my dream he told me and then I forgot everything and he left. Today he sent it all in detail in email. Phwew!
