raspberry pie

I dreamt that I was on my way somewhere. It felt like a job, a duty, but not horrible. I had things to get done, places to go, people I had to spend time with or see. At one point I was on a bus. I was supposed to be meeting someone and get off earlier, but someone was handing out Christmas gifts. I hadn't brought any for anyone, but one woman, someone I didn't care for... she just didn't seem right, lacking self esteem, doing things for the wrong reasons, .. she gave everyone a pie. She wanted to make sure I knew that she gave me two pies. It was very nice of her and they looked very nice. I could see one pie was raspberry. I didn't feel obligated to give her something back. But I was thinking of why she thought I should have two pies, it was as though she wanted me to know I did something good unbeknownst to me, and that she appreciated it.

warewolf video

I dreamt a friend of mine (StK) was walking my dog Sophie, which I no longer have. He was yanking her neck. I went running after her and was asking him to stop. I picked her up, it was nice to hold her again.

I then went into a store. The woman in the store wasn't very nice, a bit snobby. I told her that I was getting married so that she would give me better service, which she did. She gave me a picnic basket with book of wedding ideas. It was kind of a sampler for her store so you would buy more things. I took it home to my friends StK and CK. I put the basket up on the counter. It was the farm house kitchen that my dad had when I was growing up. I started talking and then DF came around the corner. A little Irish guy... He came around and asked how I was doing. I went to give him a hug and I hadn't realized how tiny he really was. It was nice to see him and to see him be pleasant. I was a little upset that he thought I was getting married, but it was nice to have him be nice so I decided not to correct it.

I started going through the picnic basket. The book in there was very nice with not only wedding ideas, but creative ones, gardening and so on. There was also a calligraphy set, water color set, among other things. The basket itself was a little broken, but it was still a nice gift. CK was going through it with me and I could tell wanted to use some of the items. I probably would end up giving them to her.

Then I was singing a song.  I was glad I received the picnic thing and in my mind I was thinking (even though this and that was broken). I wanted to stop bring up the wrong bits... just bring up the right and so I wanted to sing a little happy song before going in the room to see my boyfriend. I start singing and then I laid back on the back of the couch and was getting good thoughts in my mind and then he ran in like in 1/2 a second and was on top of me and looked like a warewolf.... and then I looked like a warewolf with a surprise on my face and he said.... Haven't you seen the video? meaning the song I was singing's video was of a warewolf couple....

Elvis Lamp and Berlin

I dreamt I was working in a new office. I had a nice setting. I was using the desk that I had purchased from an estate sale and I had it decorated kind of frilly. Not my usual in an office. I generally try to look organized and utilitarian. This was very whimsical and fun and made me smile. My new coworkers were a good 15 to 20 years younger than me. Although I didn't feel out completely like one of them, I didn't feel like an outsider either. There was one especially energetic guy that was part of my team. He was chipper and felt nice to be around. He was about to work with another guy, who in the dream was fun, successful and innovative. That would be a good team. We all (the staff) had taken a class and so received iPads as part of it. It was a nice gift and I was thinking about what kind of backing I would use to differentiate mine. I had an image of white with black swirls that (in the dream) I had used for my phone. Yes that would work fine... Normally, again, that would be too girly for me. My friend (PC) showed up. She was all smiles and gave me a congratulatory present. I'm not sure if it was for this job or what, but I accepted. She handed me the gift bag and I pulled out a glittery desk lamp. It had a gold glittery base with Elvis in a white jumpsuit on top of that in his pose and then a gold lamp shade. I loved it. I immediately went to put it on my desk and had a perfect spot for it. I went to plug it in and the gold lamp shade had turned into white Christmas lights wrapped around swirling wires. Each time I went to try to plug it in, this time from the plug in at the beginning of the string of lights, to the plug at the end of the string of lights, it would light up the first few lights and then burn out at the end and the plugs would melt and fuse. I realized I just needed to plug in the initial plug and the electricity would flow through to the end on its own. Then PC told me that someone wanted to sign a contract with me... wanted me for the business or job. It turned out it was the young guy and the successful man as well as another guy that was working on a project. I was happy and excited. ------ I dreamt I was in Berlin visiting. It was now... like I had left and was there. It happened so fast I was questioning myself as to why I was there, how did I do it financially and so on. But I decided to go with the flow. I was so happy to be there and seeing my friends. I was back visiting my old apartment and my friend (SP) from Berlin was there, my friend (WW) from the Netherlands was there and another guy who I seemed to know in my dream. They had never met each other and so I was really looking forward to some of my favorite people coming together. The apartment then turned into SP's apartment and was fancy and nice. He was showing everyone his place. He had turned his bedroom into an outdoor area and there was even a pool. One of the guys had just come back from the bank. I realized I had no Euros on me and needed to go as well, so I slipped out to the mall to find an ATM. I went through a bank, but they were all for the special cards with the chip which mine didn't have. Then I kept walking and finally found one. It gets a little foggy here, but I met someone, everyone was friendly, I came back in time for us all to go out.

spiders attack and ice cream buffet

I dreamt that I was in a large building. It felt almost warehouse-like in size and openness, but it was livable. I also felt like there was a feeling of community there. We all lived together, were aware of each other and cared about each other to some extent. We heard there had been some spider issue. Small spiders about the circumference of an eraser head. They could give you a disease with one bite that would kill you and possible make you a little "off" as well. I don't think you could trust a person once they were bitten. We were all on watch for them and looking out for each other, making sure we were all accounted for and could get to a safe place. I remember something about getting some supplies too, even things like entertainment. We were all to meet in one area, make sure it was spider free and then work out. Although the spiders were dangerous, it felt like a solvable problem. While gathering our things, we noticed that it was much worse than we had assumed. There were hundreds of spiders all together and we needed to act quickly. ... Then it seemed the warehouse was an office. As though there were buildings built inside the warehouse, offices, cafes and so on, but all under a protective roof. I was supposed to go get some food at the grocery store for a meeting. People were all talking about the new ice cream buffet the store had put in. I went over to look at it. It didn't look appetizing, but maybe I was just being picky as everyone was raving about it. I asked for a sample spoon to see for myself. My instincts were right. The texture was icy, the flavors felt watered down and not rich. The people were just falling for the gimmick and the pricing.

off plan

I was in a spaceship that was hovering over an area on Earth... a particular downtown area in Portland. Our ship was invisible, so we could go undetected. The ship's occupants were just myself, a woman with black shiny hair and straight across bangs (the captain) and the guy from the office. We landed, although we were only supposed to hover. I was going to tell them about the area they were near as they were had never been and I didn't get my chance to be helpful. The captain didn't seem to like me and it was as though I only noticed this at this moment as things were going off plan. The ship had to become visible due to it being material and people could run into it on the ground now that we had landed. It was on this corner of a block that was an open area. It appeared as a small building that looked like a large log structure on its side... modern, with brown painted metal. The grain of the wood had been stamped in to the metal. It was fitting for the area (stump town). I was concerned as she just had it appear and we were not supposed to just show up and reveal ourselves like that. I went outside to see how the people took it and people were fine, buzzing around on the streets like a normal workday. She had made the ground side of one end open looking with glass walls and an open wall that people could walk on the ship. Many young professionals (or want-to-be's) got on... I was running to get on because I wasn't sure why she was collecting them. For research? for??? I was also jealous... I felt as if she was taking on new people and kicking me out. As I approached the glass opening it started to close. I tried to squeeze in but it closed and the people were so packed in I couldn't have squeezed in either way. Somehow I found another entrance on the other side. She was busy with this new bunch of people to ?? and some of our leaders had arrived on the ship as well. She was trying to show them what she had accomplished and woo them as well. I made myself known. I wanted it to seem to her that I was still strong, that nothing really happened and it was work as usual, although I know when our eyes met we both knew what we knew. I took advantage of her business and ran down the corridor to find my friend. He was busy taking care of his duties. We had a close relationship, more along the lines of best friends although I think I loved him and he me. He was a little disgruntled about seeing me. He knew her plan and that I would be fine where we landed but that he could not insure my safety on the ship. I think I was upset in a way that he didn't leave to go with me or protest against her, but it wasn't like that... we didn't have those choices. I could hear her coming and asked him to hide me glancing around seeing there were a few good options that would work. He declined. What would we do next when the ship left.. she still would want to be rid of me and then we would be worse off as he would be in trouble as well. I needed to leave... Then I was hired on with a company some how. I fit in well enough as I had the experience before. It was a bit of events, marketing and pr. They hip-ish gray haired man with little glasses was kind and trying to show me the ropes. I had a desk upstairs that was small and simple. I walked down the open office area to see the other folks. Their desks were made of whiteboard material. I kind of wished that I had that instead. I walked over to another area where there was a machine that must have produced something useful. It had many different colored rose shaped things made of pleated ribbon. They were not secure, and so could unravel when you picked them up. I wasn't sure what they were for. The man started telling me of some duties that would be coming up soon. Some press kits to be made and he hoped I could handle it. I let him know I had worked for a prominent pr company before, and he didn't seem to hear or really care, but he was just happy I could handle the job. I was just happy to be around kind people.

floating history

I dreamt I was in a history class of sorts. It felt like a field trip. We were on these individual platforms that we could sit on. A few could share or some went one by one. It is as if the platforms floated through the air and we could go through a history book visually. First we were in a cavern looking type place with dim lighting. There was a map across the ground that was 3D, yet still simple... countries were colored pink, green and yellow etc, and they were labeled. You could just see some raised areas where there would be mountains. Then we went through an arch way. There were floating columns, artifacts, and you almost felt like some of the air from the past. I felt like we were seeing things that may not exist anymore, but they were real all the same. I was so excited as I had wanted to be an archaeologist. I was right here, with the past. It was amazing. Then there were these red and yellow things on the ground where we got off of our platforms to get a closer look at the artifacts. They were crawling along the rocks and boulders. At first they looked like slugs and then they appeared to be long "haired" caterpillars. I warned everyone to watch out and not squish them. Some had already been smeared on the rocks. Then George Bush showed up out of no where to give a speech. "My fellow citizens. Today I am here to talk about peace ... P S S S .. " I started laughing in my dream... I was thinking figures.... Then he mentioned something about religion and Sister McJesus.

connection

I dreamt I was running away from some bad guy (Christopher Walken). He was a powerful person like the villains in movies that know what they want, do it well, and are passionate. I was on top of a building trying to get away from him and I think I was hidden well unless he and his thugs were going to put some effort into it. But then he somehow was shot in the neck and had no one to help him. I had this need to go help him and it felt good. Not in a warm fuzzy kind of way, but more of a hmmm ... like it would make me part of him, part of his intensity, his passion, we would be linked. The feeling of being part of something or someone like that felt more than good. Then I was part of a black family. I could have even been black, but I didn't get to see outside of myself to know who I was. I knew I was married to Will Smith and I had a couple of sister-in-laws that were really nice to me. ... Then I dreamt about these crystals that neutralize machinery ... head person there... getting the pieces, baseball game, after hours... ?? this one is vague.

shower attributes

I dreamt I was at a conference. I guess I worked with these people but part of me felt like I had already left and was tying up loose ends. We were all in a room being spoken to with breaks here and there where we could talk, stretch or get something to eat. I had 1/2 of a burrito earlier and was going to get the other half, but it seemed someone had taken it. I was hungry... the burrito sounded good, but I really didn't want to order another unless I could get it without rice. I knew the vendor would be annoyed that I asked to remove their filling that made the burritos to appear more amazing than they were, so I passed on the whole thing. The women there all looked like models, all perfect hair, skin, clothes, and faces. Even though I felt accepted by all of them, I knew I wasn't one of them. We went back to our rooms. We either needed to prepare for a function that evening or to leave for the airport. I got in the shower. Someone else was about to as well, but chose the big fancy shower. I didn't want that one... but something irked me about her assuming she would be the one to use it. She questioned me not going to another part of the conference, which initially I felt 100% comfortable about, but her questioning made me question myself ... for a second. Then I got in the shower. They were big and with glass doors. There was a ridge up from the ground and I was wondering if it could hold water and I could use it as a bathtub. I decided it wasn't that kind of shower. I looked over at the big shower and wondered the same. I thought it could be that kind of shower... then looked at mine and realized it had similar attributes and maybe it was easier to see those on the other shower because it wasn't in my vicinity... or not something I was about to test. After the shower one of the model type girls that I would normally avoid was talking to me. She said she didn't understand why I did my hair every day and that I should look into wigs. I didn't like the idea. She said she wore them every day. She was showing me her wig and exclaiming on what a good job they did on the variations of color so that it looked real. I told her indeed that they were nice and appreciated how she looked. In my head I was agreeing still, but thought that the hair looked dull and lifeless. I couldn't see myself doing it unless it was just for fun. --- Then I dreamt that I was at another work type place. This guy was talking about how he was learning about EFT. He was not the usual type.. logical, atheist etc. The only reason he accepted it was because he went to some European conference and it was like a competitive edge. I was a little frustrated and let him know it had been around for a long time, but the reason why the U.S. hadn't accepted it openly is because they assumed it was hokey and assumed it was a bit woo woo and snake oil like instead of looking into the science behind it. I guess I was happy it was being more accepted but at the same time annoyed that it had been poo pooed so long.

snakes

I dreamt that I was with my friend (A(L)S). We were visiting in her town. One of her boys was with her and she was telling me about the tables we were sitting at. They were long folding tables, not super pretty, but very functional and good for her family to have outdoor meals on or do their crafts. She was so happy. Some woman from behind me said hello and then gave her a flower saying how wonderful she was... they said not to just put it in water, it was special... she joked that she would eat it to keep it forever. Some other thing at a hotel... drinks... felt like the 40s or 50s Then I dreamt about something with two snakes... killing them... I was scared.. One was a female and one was a male. As much as I wanted them away from me or dead, I was sad for them. They just wanted to get away and be together but they couldn't help their nature and that is what would kill them. Someone had wounded both of them and I was to take them out of the car. Although they seemed dead like (even kind of looked like they had been dried and smoked like jerky), they were still able to move and were trying to get away. My friend that wounded them was looking at an octopus.He was showing me some hole that was there that shoudn't normally be. He was very interested in it and kind of got lost in inspecting it. I was trying to show him the urgency of him needing to help me the snakes were getting away. They were just about to slip down the drain in the streets to be forever gone out of our hands and to have bad things happen, but my friend caught them for me.

getting ready

I dreamt I was at (GH)'s house. In the dream his house was near a Disney ride, The Nutty Professor (the older version, not the new one). I was going to a little shop to help them prepare for some event. It felt old, like it had been there for years and so had their traditions. The inside was filled with little treasures, antique's, tchotchkes, clothing, etc. It was set up in a winding ornate way where one thing led you to the next. There was also an outside area. I went to the outside and moved things around to set them up. GH was there too. I felt like we were both playing parts. Part of that felt good and sweet, the other part felt forced and empty. I liked the idea, not the reality.That is how the store felt too... wonderful treasures that you want to keep, but at the same time held you back from the freshness of now. Some of the older "tea" type ladies came out. They were helping me with my skirt as it needed to be refitted. I realized I had grown somehow and so it needed to be let out. I was sad that it was being let out a bit although I accepted it as part of life. It was a light antique blue netting... delicate, but strong in its own way.

office party

I dreamt I was in a job I was happy with. It was as though I was another person living the life that I thought adults lived when I was younger. You went to work with people you liked, had camaraderie, enjoyed your work just enough (not necessarily passionate about it, but it wasn't painful either) and life was good. I think it was someone's last day of work, maybe mine?? I was at a hotel and calling my dad and step-mom. They were lost and trying to find me. I had told them I was in the hotel lobby against the wall directly opposite the entrance.... they couldn't miss me. Then I saw a friend of mine from Raleigh (JWM). He seemed in good spirits and was inviting me to the office party. Part of the dream I felt like that is why I was there, but partly felt I was invited and I would be crashing. It looked like fun, he looked like fun and I wanted to go

couch swing

I dreamt that I was on a porch and on a couch that could swing. I kept trying to get up, but kept falling back on the couch. It seemed to be moving each time I stood. I was getting a bit frustrated with the situation or myself or both, when a blond guy on a couch at a right angle from mine told me it wasn't my fault. He was swinging and it was pushing my couch. Like this is all normal, don't worry and that it happens like this. I felt safe and loved. (before I fell asleep I asked to have a positive dream as my last ones were scary)

robot god

I dreamt I had to fight this large robot. I guess maybe he looked a bit Transformer-ish, but less detailed. I'm not sure why "I" had to fight him, but it was a duty and it was something that I couldn't run from. This wasn't because I couldn't physically get away, because I could... I could avoid it as long as I wanted. But it was something I had to do at some point. I gave myself one day of thought/avoidance. I wasn't ready for pain of his sword followed by knowing I would be dead. There was no doubt he would win, he was massive, stronger, a "god" and what seemed like a reality that must happen.I decided to face it the next day ...

asteroid

I dreamt that I was having dinner with friends. The host lived on a hill that overlooked the land. The house had been there for years and had ornate trees around the back deck and was cute and homey. We were having lobster as part of our dinner and my brother was placing them on the plates. The lobsters were navy blue (which seemed normal) and you would place them on their back completely in the shell with their heads still on. Mine was placed on my plate but I could see its legs were still moving. I was upset and said mine is still alive. I couldn't eat it that way of course and felt bad for it. My brother said he knew what to do and took an knife... I could see two exposed veins that were attached to the shell with a clear membrane. He cut both of them and I could feel the lobster's spirit leave. It was a very sad feeling as if it were taking part of me with it. We all continued to set the table and prepare. Christopher Plummer was our host and he was very pleasant and everyone was in good spirits. Then I heard a whistle. It reminded me of a bottle rocket or the sound in a cartoon when something is falling from the sky. I moved away from the table umbrella to see. I saw a large fire-y asteroid fall a good 50 miles away towards the earth. I knew immediately that it was serious and that the damage would move fast. I knew we couldn't out run it, so I told everyone to run into the house. I figured if the house survived, it was the only chance we had. If it didn't, we would have died anyway. I looked out where the asteroid had hit so far away, and could see the tops of trees flaming already coming up the hill. We all ran and all of us made it in the house... through the mud room and into the kitchen with both doors shut, but two girls. I'm not sure if they hadn't heard us, but it was too late to let them in. We could hear them screaming outside, but there was no move to open the door. It would have killed us all. We were not cold people, but just were very clear about that outcome. We still were not clear if the house would go up in flames or not. I was sitting on the counter in the kitchen, most of us huddling together. I though for a moment if I should find a butcher knife and just slit my wrists. The thought of dying by flames seemed awful. Then I figured dying by cutting my own wrists didn't seem so great either, so I might as well let fate take its course. Ashes were falling outside the window. I reminded everyone not to breath the ashes, to get a mask or a scarf or something to cover their faces. It seems were were in the clear, so we started to walk towards the small town that was down the mountain near the lake (the side away from the asteroid). The people in town were aware of what happened, but no one seemed in a panic. Also no one was covering their faces and children were playing in the falling ashes. I had an urge to alert everyone, but knew I would be putting out a lot of effort for something that was most likely too late. We had to just keep on moving to a clearing and decide what to do next.

farm retreat

I dreamt I went to a farm type place for a retreat. It felt like a dry area up in the mountains. Our home base was on the lower part of the roadside. We had just arrived and we were to go on a hike. One of several activities I was assuming. We were a bunch of girls and one lead guy (PB). There was an orchard on the higher side of the road. It was very steep and impossible to climb without lots of slipping. I didn't see how the trees were even staying up. We started down the dirt round and took a bend up the hill or mountain. On the left we passed another farm type place. There seemed to be a home and a barn or shed and some equipment. It felt a little out of place. Our home base seemed more "farmy" with aged items around the place and as though it had been there for years. This place was made of newer materials and didn't feel part of the land. It felt like they were visiting and possibly doing something underhanded. We were headed towards a cabin. I didn't know we were headed there or I would have told them that we couldn't go. The CIA was renting the place. I knew they were trying to catch some people that were brewing beer with chemicals as well as using it in the fields. These chemicals made them more profitable but caused disease. I decided not to tell them all that I knew. Some of the girls were gossips, some I didn't trust, and I felt a bit trashy gossiping myself... A few of the girls wanted to take shortcut back down the hill through the hazelunt orchard. I told them it was very steep and dangerous.PB was going with them with zip lines though so I figured they would either figure it out or come back up. I continued down the road back by the house, shed etc. I kept my mouth shut and kept walking. I saw that some sort of fight was occurring. Then I got back down to the home where we were staying. There was a dog, kind of country like scenery. It felt comfortable. I wasn't sure if they had made it down the orchard yet or not. Then we were taking a truck and a trailor out... the fight was actually occurring still and some of the girls were in the river intertubing.... the fight that happened above the canyon caused a trailor to overturn and a large green mattress to fall in the river. I was watching to see if it would hit one of the girls. I was amazed that it missed.
