missed class

I dreamt that I was in an odd building on the lower floor, almost a basement. It had the old tile linoleum floors that probably had asbestos underneath. I was waiting to take a workout class, and it seemed I was the first one to show up. I felt that maybe I had the wrong time or day. RC was there just sitting in a soft chair calm and cool. I had to change into my clothes as I was half way into my workout gear. I felt awkward in front of him and I was doing my best at being graceful, but it wasn't working. I felt as if every piece of me was hanging out in the wrong way.

clueless

I dreamt that I was on a vacation with my mother. RVB was there with his wife that he had said that he had divorced. We had a window between the two suits in the sun rooms. I could feel him trying to catch my attention, but I ignored him. I knew he would just act happy and clueless that he had a wife with him. 

5 questions

I dreamt that I was sitting in a room with others. It was a bit of a workshop room with long tables and benches and stools, a little hodgepodge, but creative. There were several monitors on tables as well as empty spaces. I was sitting and working on something when a man came behind me and said that he wanted me to take this test. He gave me a sheet of paper with 5 math problems. After my first glance, I knew it was something that I was good at that other may struggle with. I was excited to do the test. There was a knowing that if I completed it successfully, I would belong to some group or have a new career with x company. He seemed confident that I would pass, and that this was just some red tape to go through. He seemed like he was a mentor, someone that had been watching me and now was ready for me in his group.  

I cleared my lap of a bag of books and papers, so that I could concentrate. I looked up on the monitor to see if my program was open. I had decided to type the answers in Word. None of it was overly complicated number wise and I had a calculator. I would write them all on one sheet and then copy and paste half of the answers on another as the instructions asked that the two sets be separated. 

I noticed that the area in front of me was a little insufficient, I had no place to write. Also the people next to me started crowding the table and I lost focus. I got up, gathered my things and sought out a clear table. My anxiety started to appear as I was worried about time and focus.  I moved to the new table that was completely empty then went back to get my monitor, which seemed like a light 3 dimensional rubber mat shaped as a monitor. I was getting situated and then people started moving to that table. Really?? So I picked up one last time and moved opposite of where I was first sitting. On the way a woman looked at the test in my hand, and with eagerness said, when will you be starting with us?  My heart raised and sunk. I was excited. These 5 questions... a few minutes, was all that was separating me from a dream of working with people that I liked, doing something Ioved, feeling like I was in the right place.  

Why was I making this so hard? 5 small questions that I could do, but my doubt was keeping me from doing them. I was panicking, as I wanted to completed it.  I thought I can do this, just sit down and do it...  

floating home

I dreamt that I had returned from a trip. I lived in a small village near water. I was dressed in a nice outfit, kind of dolled up, and I felt good. I walked down to the water to go home. Things looked a bit amiss. There were some men standing on a dock. It seems that several docks were connected together to make a way across the water. My house was connected to one of these docks. When I first looked, I saw that one dock was all mossy and partially submerged. I looked at the men hoping for an answer of I was was to get to my home. I looked again and noticed my home wasn't even there. Had it sunk too???  One of the younger gentlemen told me that it was fine. The reason they were out there was that someone had broken into my home and so they removed the home and dock from the are to somewhere safe. I was relieved and re-panicked at the same time. What had they stolen? what did I have that was worth stealing??  I sunk to my knees in front of the man and realized I was pulling his pants down with me, so I quickly replaced his pants and said I didn't see anything.. and they all laughed. 

Woke up with this song in my head: Changes

Changes 

Still don't know what I was waitin' for
And my time was runnin' wild
A million dead end streets and
Every time I thought I'd got it made
It seemed the taste was not so sweet
So I turned myself to face me
But I've never caught a glimpse of
How the others must see the faker
I'm much too fast to take that test

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't want to be a richer man
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Just gonna have to be a different man
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
Mmm, yeah

I watch the ripples change their size
But never leave the stream
Of warm impermanence
So the days float through my eyes
But still the days seem the same
And these children that you spit on
As they try to change their worlds
Are immune to your consultations
They're quite aware of what they're goin' through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Don't tell them to grow up and out of it
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Where's your shame?
You've left us up to our necks in it
Time may change me
But you can't trace time

Strange fascination, fascinatin'
Ah, changes are takin'
The pace I'm goin' through

Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Oh, look out you rock 'n' rollers
Ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
Turn and face the strange
Ch-ch-changes
Pretty soon now you're gonna get older
Time may change me
But I can't trace time
I said that time may change me
But I can't trace time

masks and mirrors

I dreamt that I was standing on land, I think it was a field, but not too remote. We were looking for our friend and we thought something may have happened to him. I looked down at the dirt and saw a small hole where the soil had been disrupted. I yelled out for my other friend, "I think I found something!" I started digging with my hands and I just knew something took him... consumed him. I couldn't see the thing and wasn't sure what it was, but I felt like there was a void where my friend should be. As I was digging I saw candies, candies that he had always had in his pockets, hands or mouth.. always part of him. I told my friend "... maybe this is what drew the thing to him."  It was everywhere that there was a hole in the dirt.

We needed to get out of there and go .. not sure where, but somewhere safe, a home maybe. We were inside a house and we gathered two kids of my friend, and some others. We huddled together feeling somewhat safe but apprehensive.  I saw my friend in a mirror, he was wearing a mask... sort of like the front half of the mask of batman. I turned around to look at him and there was no mask. I thought it was a bit strange. I went back into the room of the children and I heard a noise. My friend was gone. I quickly linked the mask in the mirror to the thing's new target. I looked in the mirror and I was fine. We were safe... no candies, no mask. I decided to move the children off of the main floor, somewhere that seemed more protected and away from outside doors and windows. I paused for a moment to listen for any noises and as I looked around, I could see the children's reflection in the window looking out into the dark. I saw little silhouettes of half masks. They were next.
