floating

I dreamt that I was floating on an inner tube that was being pulled around by a boat. I had fallen asleep, and the inner tube had detached from boat. I looked around and I couldn't see it anywhere. I was out amongst other boats and it felt a little dangerous. I didn't want my friends to be upset, I almost fell like it was my fault for falling asleep.

I paddled to shore and when I arrived, I started walking along the shore. I had a swimsuit bottom on with skirt. The place was not just smooth sand. There were little sandy beaches, lots of people, platforms and stairs. I looked around for my friends but decided to go back to our cabin.

I walked up the hill on an unpaved road. There was a truck blocking the way, so I moved it. I hung my inner tube on it hoping that my friends would see it and know I was ok.

A man came up and was in a sort of food cart. I thought he was going to be upset that I was messing with things, but he wasn't. He went inside and he was showing my items he sold... prophetic trinkets and he seemed to know what I I was going to say before I said it. He took a photo of me and created a sign to say here she is... again, for my friends.

Another girl came up and he started to focus on her. He seemed to like her. I felt a bit disappointed and moved on.

Then the path turned into a paved walkway in front of a building. I went up some stairs, I was in a very nice building now, dressed for work. The stairs are large and marble white. I seem to be in a good mood, dressed nice, going to a good job, being treated nicely. A very tall older gentleman is behind me. He is in good humor and seems to be enjoying watching how I do what I do. My hands are full of items and I get to a step... do I have a clock? The step is very high.. comes to my hips. I decided I can't do this step gracefully with all of these things in my hands. I put them down and then have to climb up the stairs with my knees. The man chuckles and says something funny. I wished I could have done this better, but really.. this was the only way. I start to pick up my things and it seems impossible now that I ever carried it all. I might have to make a couple of trips. He looks at me and says... C.. it is time for you to take something on. It felt good and right. It was time for me to do something and quit floating.
