vibrating spider

I dreamt there was this strange, very large, yellow spider in the room. I wanted it gone, but at the same time I was curious, so I didn't throw anything on it. It was a bit larger than a baseball (including the legs) and had very long pointy legs. It would move fast from one room to the next, but when it changed directions, it would do a backwards summer-salt, which would make me laugh. Then it would curl into a ball and vibrate. When it did this, it's legs were thick like a tarantula. A friend walked in and found an animal died that she loved and she was crying... then her sister found out and she was crying. I was sad for them, but concerned about the spider. I decided to show it to them, because I thought at least maybe the summer-salts might lighten their mood. But it was still scary...

movies

I dreamt that I was going to see a movie alone. I wanted to sit farther away from people, so I picked a spot that wasn't popular. As I sat down, I noticed this theater  had made a place for wheelchairs all the way down one side. Then someone immediately was placed right next to me. The person seemed quiet, so I didn't mind. Then a few seconds later this extremely obese woman sat next to me and part of her body was in my space. So I got up and went down to the very front. I think I was there to see Star Wars, but then it was Batman. I looked up and there were some old time figurines of Batman. I was feeling this was a waste...

special

I dreamt that I was with a group of people. Normally I think I would have been outside of this group, but for some reason I was inside, and was treated nice. It seems it was the holidays and the big boss gave me a gift. It was in a Chanel box and it was a jacket of gold, all frilly. Nothing I would normally ever want or like, but in the dream, it was special, beautiful and heart warming that he thought of me. It ended up that we were all spies. I was the newbie on the team and was excited to be a spy. I loved the idea of being out and about, not tied behind a desk and being part of something. My partner was Ann Hathaway. She had a strong personality, a little bossy and definitely the alfa. I just let her play her role as I knew I had a lot to learn, she seemed to know what she was doing and really, I was just happy to be doing something fun. 

letting go

So I ended up dreaming I was with this guy and he was fishing. He didn't pay much attention to me. He was focused on his goal of getting a fish. I think the other people didn't think he would do that well since he started late. Then all of a sudden I saw his string being pulled. No one noticed but him and I. It looked like something bigger than a fish. I was happy and excited for him and helped him navigate it in. Then a huge sailing ship (like old time) came up out of the water. It was beautiful. We boarded the ship. I felt a tug... like he was looking around how to make it go... and get away and even though I had helped him.... he was going to go without me. But I still wanted to help. It hurt a bit. But then I looked at the ship and there were bugs everywhere. Spiders, beetles, ants. He didn't notice them at all. I was thinking that this ship was doomed... it may have killed the previous sailors and so what would it do to him? As much as it looked like a treasure and that you would want to hold on to it, maybe it needed to be let go. Which is hard to do when you just found something that you thought you would never find and seems so amazing. I went to go look for a captain, someone who could help us. A captain showed up (Robert Shaw) and he knew the sailing world. I felt like he was a friend from the past or something known. I felt safe around him. I offered information and he respected it and conversed about it. It felt so good not to struggle to prove myself. I showed him a map. It was only the edges of a map, like the right and bottom sides of a frame. He found the top and left sides and we put them together. Somehow, in the dream it was a whole map even though it didn't have a middle to see where we were going. But it all felt ok because we were working on it together.

freedom

Last night I dreamt I was in a hotel. It was kind of interesting. It was fancy, kind of dark... well to do people staying there. They had these statues, some small animals and life size, some larger tall ones. I noticed that they had moved them into the pathways of where someone would walk coming in and out of the hotel. I felt like for sure someone would stumble on them, but they didn't seem to, and then I kind of felt like.. of course... why would they fall? Some of us had to go to work or?? I looked out at the street. The hotel was placed on the NW corner of an intersection. The street going north and south was flooding. It was the snow that had been melting and it was so high and going so quickly that you couldn't walk across the road. I was wondering if ice would form underneath like it had in the (imaginary) past. I was hoping it would. I liked extreme weather and I didn't really want to go to work. Then I was in a room with a friend. It was a guy. He seemed smart, nice and funny and I enjoyed his company. He had this device that was a radio. At the push of a button it would move parts around to be larger and play amazing sounding music. Well amazing sound... I can't recall the music. They came in larger sizes, but this one was perfect. He pushed another button and a lever popped out. It had blue light emitting from it. It was a bomb. It felt like he was intending to use it and for some reason that felt ok.

Then I was in the past. Maybe the 1800s. I was living with either my own family or some family that had taken me in. I wasn't very valued, mainly just a body in the house that had to be clean and act appropriately. The house had a visiting school mistress and she seemed to be nice to me. I wanted to badly to escape the house and she was going to provide an opportunity. She had to act stern to me like she was punishing me by teaching me certain things, so that the family wouldn't think I was being treated special or getting anything nice. She was teaching me the buttons on an old metal cash register. She drew all of the buttons on a chalkboard and was showing me what to push first... the numbers. Then I would need to make a "sentence" so the cash register would know what to do. So I would need to push numbers... then it was for... select country's currency, and so on. I really had zero interest in the cash register, but I knew knowing how to do it was my ticket out. I could go get a job and be free.

answer

I dreamt I was at some retreat or?? We had to share some stories and for some reason I got up to speak and mentioned that my dad had died 3 months ago (he is still living). And then I went on to say something meaningful... not sure what. The session was over and we were packing to leave. Oprah had attended and I wanted to ask her a question. I had a biz idea but I really needed some partners and I figured she would know of some good people to network with. Before I got a chance to ask her anything, she said "you know... you are really good at seeing a person and then motivating them in who they are." It was as if she answered my question in a round about way. That I shouldn't do my biz idea and should do that for a living.

skill and talent

I dreamt I was viewing and commenting on people that had expertise. I was admiring how much they had studied, practiced and so on to a wise person sitting next to me and some other friends. I didn't have any such skills and was feeling less than. The person sitting next to me said, "well you are lucky that you have that brain of yours. You don't need a class or an instrument, you just keep channeling ideas through that brain," and then gave me a wink.

No escape

Dreamt that doll had a spirit. First my mom had killed it years before.  Then I either killed it for knowing something or because it made me uncomfortable. Then it's spirit had gone into a child and so on, each needing to be killed. Then it showed up in a new doll. It looked right through me. It felt awful. I wanted to kill it better this time so it couldn't jump bodies. People were coming and I kept trying to start the fire to burn it in. My brother had made CDs ... A boy and a girl one. I wanted to use the packaging for the fire. Mom said it woud be nice to throw the cats in there. Meaning dead ones.. But an old sick one went in and we didn't try to save it.

vampires and buttons

I dreamt my boyfriend and I had been turned into vampires. Our maker was Erik from the series True Blood. We were going to take acid and Erik wasn't very happy about it but he just rolled his eyes. Then my bf said "You should see ?? not sure of the name??, he was smoking and he stays up all night like, like a hooty hoot owl."

Then I was in a different dream. I had just been hired on to a handmade button company. I was at a conference where a woman was talking about the specialness of buttons that people just don't realize. After the speech I went up to her to let her know I was in the business. I was wearing a special blue dress that had  5 different hand made buttons made of different materials (glass, clay, and so on).
