Look Over There, Nick

This one had something to do with being down at the dairy barn with Nick (step-brother). Even though it was down at the dairy barn, there were times that it seemed big enough to have been the 'big' barn. I remember that I was trying to show Nick something about it, like how to get somewhere or where something specific was. We were trying to look at the far side of the barn, which was the side facing the Blue Ridge Mountains. I was telling him "over there" or "look over there" or "around there" or something. I think I remembered seeing a podium with a light on it, and maybe even a little table with a goose neck lamp on it, of which at least one was turned on.

Speedboat Jumping Again

I had another dream with that same speedboat jumping on the banks of the river. I was in the boat with the same people, and we were coming back to that 'parking spot', and the guy missed the turn. There were several people on the bank, and he went over and hit the bank. Once again we were airborne and kept going higher and higher. I think we even went higher in this one than before. Then I looked down and saw all the trees and we started to go down towards them. Just as we were coming down, we saw the river bank, and it looked like there might be possibility of us landing in the water, but we ended up hitting the bank enough to keep us out of control when we hit the water again, and we went straight over and hit the opposite bank and up we went again. Higher than ever again this time, so high that the feeling of falling almost hurt on the way down. We saw the trees rushing up to meet us, but I woke up right before we hit.

Trying To Feed The Spider

There was something about Sarah (ex-girlfriend) calling me and telling me that her and her family were going to Ocean City for something for Biology or something like that. For some reason I decided to get my family to go, too.

While I was out there, I think I had to catch a crab or a spider or something. I finally got one and took it onto the house we were staying in, and I was in a room that looked a lot like Nick's (step- brother) room at his apartment. I remember looking between the front two legs of the thing (it was only about the size of a locust) and seeing two little teeth coming out of a little hole.

For some reason it looked a lot like it was in between my fingers, and that kept coming up throughout the dream, but when I saw it in that perspective, it didn't scare me, really. I think that I figured out that I had to feed the thing, so I ended up finding a bug, that had just been something else (I don't remember what, but it was something very familiar) but it had just turned into the bug.

After a little bit the bug was on it's back and it wasn't moving much, and I had the spider (it was no longer a crab) in a little jar that it barely fit in (and it was about the size of half a film container). I was trying to get the spider to eat the bug, but it wouldn't or it couldn't catch it or something. Then I decided to try to get the bug onto the lid of the jar and somehow put the lid on without touching it because I didn't want to touch the bug or the spider. I think I had a pair of tweezers that I was trying to use, but either the jar or the lid kept flipping over and it would go too far or not far enough to get them together.

After a little bit, I think the bug actually flipped itself and the lid onto the jar, and the spider started to get to it. I called someone in to take a look at it because I was so proud, but before I could get the thing screwed on, it fell off again. I think that the spider tried the same trick, but it just missed completely, or the exact same thing happened that happened before. This happened several times.

Then I think that before I could get the two put together, we had to leave. We were on a speedboat and I was trying there to get the lid with the bug put on again, but it just wouldn't go without my touching it directly, and I wasn't about to do that.

Bird In The House

Then I had a brief dream of that there was a bird outside a window in a house I was in, and it looked a lot like Scott's (a friend from elementary school) house, but instead of the front door being in place, it was a window instead. I opened the window briefly, but the bird came in by accident. I didn't know what to do, but all of a sudden Thess (my cat) was jumping up at it and trying to catch it. I think the bird landed up on top of the entertainment center (it was in the same place as Scott's house) and Thess either jumped up there to climbed up there and went after it. I'm not sure if she ever got it, though.

Jair In The Movies

I was in a city, and I think I was going to see someone that was a friend of mine (he was famous and named Paul, I think), but when I got there, he was upset at me because I had been in more movies than he had. I thought that was ridiculous because he had been in a lot of movies, and I had only been in one. He was up in his 'house' which overhung the street I was walking around on, and I was yelling up to him, and he was yelling back down to me.

I remember seeing his wife there, too, walking past some of the windows in a white robe or a white sheet or something. I was trying to get him to let me in, but he wouldn't because of the movie thing. I tried to assure him that he had been in more movies than me, but he wouldn't hear of it. He told me that there were lots of times that I was filmed and didn't know it.

I started trying to think back to times when I saw someone carrying around a big TV camera, and I could only remember one of those times, so I said something that I may have been in two, then, but he was still in more than me. He kept denying it and saying that he had a book that said I was in more movies than him. I asked to see the book and I think that he finally let me up, but when I got up there, he was gone.

I found the book and looked at it and I think the title was "Jair in the Movies" And it had a list of all the actors named Jair or Jeremy that had ever been in a movie. It had me listed in there, too, even all the ones that I didn't know I was in. I was in a very small room that had a bunch of old cluttered farm stuff in it, I think, and there was a door to my left. I started to look at the book, but the dream ended there.

Jumping Speedboat On The River

I was in a boat on a river. It was kind of a speed boat or something. I think that it started out that I was by myself, and that was just kind of goofing around with going up river to this fence or gate or something that crossed the river, and then going back down river. As I was going back down river, there was one spot just as I went around a little bit of a turn to the right that I had to suddenly make a sharp right and up into this little space. I think it was just this little place where I could set the boat. Anyway, I think that the river went down kind of steeply from there, and I didn't want to go down, so that's why I had to be sure to hit that 'parking spot'.

Suddenly, I was no longer the driver, but now I was a passenger. There were four of us, and a older guy was driving it. He went up past that gate that I was turning around at, and a lot of what we were doing was hitting the river banks and jumping the boat way up in the air, somewhere between 100 and 200 feet at least. I remember being way up in the air and feeling the sensation of falling way down.

I saw all these trees lining the river banks, and they were all twisted and gnarled, but still very graceful and beautiful. There were several times that we hit the trees on the way down, bouncing off the branches, hitting the ground and eventually finding our way back into the water where we'd only go and do it again and again. It seems that we did that for a while, and then we went back out past the gate again and to that little 'parking spot', where I had to be sure to tell the driver that he had to make that sharp right turn.

Eiffel Tower's Falling Down, Falling Down, Falling Down

In the second one, I was going to see the Eiffel Tower, but I don't think it was in France. It may have been the replica in King's Dominion. Anyway, at one point I was up in the top part of it, but instead of elevators coming up the middle of it, it was like it was completely open in the middle. It was just the platform with the high fence around it.

At first everything was okay, but then I noticed that it was starting to sway just a little. I said something to someone else about it, and they said "Yeah! It is!" and they started to panic. Then I was down on the ground pointing up to the top of it and telling someone "See? It is moving." Then I was on top again, and the whole thing was swaying a lot now. I then thought that it was going to fall over, and no sooner than I thought it, it started to.

Instead of it falling over to one side it was swaying to, instead the platform started to just drop straight down. I remember that there was a post or something coming up out of the floor, and so I held on to that all the way down. Just before impact that dream ended.

Anna Paquin And The Fruit Buffet

I was at Pleasant Valley Church, I think, and there was some sort of party or gathering going on. There was a meal, or at least some snacky eating, and so I was wanting to get some. At one point, I was introduced to this girl that reminds me a lot of the girl in "Fly Away Home" (Anna Paquin). In my dream I liked her a lot, and I didn't want to do anything to disgust her or turn her away in any way. Her family was very rich, and she knew all this etiquette stuff, and I didn't. I was worried about eating some of this stuff the wrong way and looking "uncivilized" to her.

This meal or whatever started off with fruit, and there was a bunch of it on this round table, a lot like our real one in the dining room. She picked up a couple of pieces and put them on her plate, and then I did the same. I remember seeing a plum and thinking it would be too messy to eat in front of her. I also saw some blue pineapple chunks, so I used my fork and picked those up. I think I may have also picked up a tangerine or an orange, too. But that also could have been her that I saw pick that up. She picked up something that relieved me and made me think that I could possibly be myself during this time. (dunno what it was)

We sat down at a table that was just around the corner in this little area that was about the size of my room. There were other people there, and I think that her parents may have even popped in for a moment, but if they did, they weren't there for long. After much trial and tribulation, I think I finally found some way of eating that was acceptable, and I think that she even ended up liking me, too.

Don't Catch A Second Cold

I went into Pleasant Valley Church, and I passed an older lady that I knew (but I can't remember who it was now) She was there for a church meeting, but she was dressed very casually. She said that she had a cold, and so she was going home. I told her not to catch a second one, but she didn't hear me, so she asked me what I had said, so I told her again to not get a second one, and she laughed. I think by that time her husband was also there, and he laughed, too.

McGruff and the Case at the Muddy Fort

I was outside of Fort Defiance High School. Even though I was at Fort, it was sitting in a different place and situated differently. Anyway, there was a lot of construction going on, and so there was a lot of mud and everything around. There was this "hill" that had been dug out, and the whole slope of it had these huge tire marks in it and it was extremely muddy. At the top there were a lot of trees. Pine, I think. There were a lot of people that were walking and romping around on the muddy hillside. They were all students about my age.

Then the bell rang for class to begin, so they all started coming down off the hill. For some reason, since they were coming down, I decided that I was going to go up and take a look at it for myself, just to see why everyone was up there.

I passed this couple, and they were kind of hippy like. I finally kind of floundered my way to the top, but then the next thing I remember was that I was back down at the bottom and between the school building and a small grove of trees. The hill was still visable about 200 feet away from me.

As I looked around, all these people were terribly muddy, and they were all sitting and laying in the mud. Some of them were prepared to start class, but most of them were goofing around and wrestling in the mud. There was one big pile of people, and it was just a bunch of guys that were goofing around. There was one on the bottom, though, that was being particularly mean or something, and I think that he was either yelling at me or someone close to me. He looked a lot like the lead singer from "Ben Folds Five".

Then something happened and he ended up getting in trouble for whatever it was that he was doing. I think that he hurt or killed someone in his anger. But for some reason, I was worried about getting in trouble for it myself. I think that the teacher sent us both away or something, and so then we ended up in a place that was a lot like a combination of a church and a house.

We went into one room, and it looked like my dining room. Then McGruff (the "take a bite out of crime" dog) came in with his son and they were going to sniff around and find out who did "it". (Like I said before, I think that someone got killed) So I went with the son as he sniffed around and looked around, and we suddenly found bits of broken glass everywhere over by a window that's where the basement door is now (in my grandmother's house). They were on the rug and under the rug and on the wood floor next to the rug. I started picking up every little piece of glass I could. It was a creamy white glass that was semi-transparent.

I was putting all the pieces into my hand so we could show them to whoever was in charge. We started finding so many that I put the first handful into my mouth so I could start picking up a second handful. After we finally found a lot of it, we went and took the glass to whoever we were supposed to show our findings to. I dumped out the handful of pieces, and then I was trying to spit out without cutting my mouth. I could feel the wet chunks of glass up towards the front of my mouth, but I didn't want to push them too hard because I didn't want to get hurt.

Tunnels in Space

I think it started out that I was in these tunnels that were out in space. I don't know if I was in a space station or what, but it seems that whatever I was in, part of it was natural. Maybe whatever it was had been built into an asteroid or something.

I was with someone, but at the same time, I think that this person WAS me. We were going through these tunnels, and when we'd get to corners or certain places, there were parts that were exposed to space, and there'd be a terrible wind force going by, and this person I was with was too weak to make it past those parts. I had to help him several times, and then at one point I think we made it to this person's place that was dimly lit by some candles, and it was kind of small and had a lot of books.

We went in, and I think that something happened to the guy while I was there, and suddenly he was strong enough to make it through the windy tunnels by himself. I think we then left and went back through some of the same tunnels that we had originally come through, and also a few others that we hadn't. We were heading somewhere specific, but I'm not sure where.

Foam Board at Merillat

This one took place at work (Merillat). Most of the time I was going around in shipping as far as I know, although it seems that there were a few times I was over in the rough mill for something.

I was walking down the aisle in shipping that's over by the door that goes out to the rest of the plant. I was heading towards the back of shipping, and I was either looking for something, going to get a trash can, or taking one back. I don't remember which it was, but I know that I passed someone that was in the cross-over aisle that was on my right. I think it was Ima (the shipping supervisor).

Then I was over in the area that's just out from dock 2 on its way over to the door going out to the rest of the plant. The aisles came out extra far, and I looked down on the bottom of one that was facing towards the truck docks, and there were a bunch of books there. When I saw them I remembered that they had always been there, and I was at the art section. So I went down a looked at the books, which were on a shelf that came straight out into the middle of the aisle. There were some really big books or pieces of plywood that were on the left side of the smaller art books holding them in.

Then I went out to the rest of the plant because the horn blew, and we had 3 minutes till the end of the shift. As I was walking down past Shawn (a short guy that I sit with at lunch), he asked me if I could get him a piece of that foam board. I said okay, and I kept going over to the rough mill to wash off my hands. As I was heading over there past the hog area, Kevin (Tara's boyfriend) was there cleaning up or something, and I tried to throw something (like a screw or a gum wrapper) into the trash box under the stairs, but I missed, so I just picked it back up since it bounced back over in front of me and went on back to the sink. I threw the thing in the trash and then I washed my hands.

Afterwards I was getting ready to get a drink, and Steve (another coworker) came up with about 5 boards and was going to chop them there at the paper towel dispenser. I hurried up and got my drink of water since the fountain was right under the paper towels, and then got out of the way.

Then I was back over in front of shipping, just getting ready to go in, and I had that piece of Foam-core that Shawn wanted. It was a big 4x8 foot sheet, and about a half an inch thick. I had it out to my right side and it was blowing around in the "breeze" that I was making by walking. Then it kept rippling and curling up and folding up. I got out to the door that I go out at night, and I was looking for Shawn, but he had already gone out. Evidently the second horn had blown and I didn't hear it.

So I went on out and saw him coming around the end of the parking lot in his truck. There were LOTS of cars parked down there, and I remember that Brian (a guy I went to church with and was a grade below me) was in his car next to me. He had 3 other guys with him, and one of them was Evan (from the farm down the road from where I lived). So Brian was talking to me about something about having his door open and going along and hitting children with it and saying "oh, I'm sorry!" and then closing the door.

As I was getting into my car, I saw Evan there in the back seat and so I gave him the now rolled up foam board and he was happy with it. Then I think I got on in my car and Brian drove off, and then I did, too.

Sawdust Overflow

I was at work (Merillat) and there was this huge pile of sawdust that had to be cleaned up, and it had all these little one by one by one inch blocks in it. Normally I would put stuff like that in the dumpster, but I didn't this time. I was trying to push it all down into the hog belt at the bridge. And there was a LOT of it. It filled up the area over there just beyond the bridge where they keep all those carts of wood. I was trying to go faster and faster, but whoever was pushing the sawdust to me was going too fast for me to keep up with.

King's Dominion Volcano Tower and Arcade

I started out seeing an ad or demonstration on this new ride at King's Dominion. (there really is a new ride there about something about a volcano and two people are in a car and it shoots out the top and around on this track) It was about that new volcano ride, but I remember seeing that at one point it actually goes under water, and then after that is when it shoots way up and out and goes around the track really fast. I even remember seeing the two people on it.

There was a boy and a girl and when it went under water, it didn't go through a tunnel. It just actually submersed the track and car and people completely, so you were soaking wet when you came back up. I think that it actually went under water twice.

Then I wound up going and getting on the ride. There was a girl with me, but I'm not really sure who it was. (it could've been Kate) I remember going under water and then coming back out and then shooting up this ramp. Oh, another thing I remember about this was that It was almost like it was indoors. It was in this building that I think the top of it was open, or had skylights or something, but there were walls all around. It was shaped a little like this:










At the point of "x" was where you got on it and it went under water. Like I said, I went under water and then up this ramp that shot straight over to point "z". I remember that I kept getting my arms and legs, especially on my left side, hit on the walls, especially on the corner sticking out over at "z". There were all these people watching from balconies and floors that were all around this room, because this room was multiple stories tall. I'd say about 3 or 4 stories tall.

When I got off again back at "x", I remember that everyone was applauding me for riding it and getting all banged up but coming out of it okay. I looked around and smiled and then I put my arms straight out to my sides and took a bow for everyone. Then I left there and went elsewhere in the park.

At one point I got to this bowling place, and it was just before it opened, and it was snowing outside. A girl was with me again, and this time I'm pretty sure it was Kate. She said something about the snow and maybe something about how it wasn't supposed to be snowing out, and I remember telling her that it was fake snow. It was man made. I even remember looking at it in the palm of my hand, and I even felt the cold from it. It was more like little chunks of ice than it was snow. But the girl didn't believe me, and she started to fall asleep. I remember trying to tell her not to fall asleep because it was man made snow, but she just wouldn't listen.

I was on the sidewalk out in front of this little bowling place, and she had laid over next to this little tree just on the edge of the grass. I looked to the front of the building, and I saw that the place was opening now, so I bent down and brushed all the snow off of her face and away from her closed eyes and told her again that the snow was fake and that the place was opening now.

She finally got up and we went inside, and I remember standing just inside the doors, and there were basically two halves to the building. The side I walked in on had things like skeeball. That side was fairly dark. Then then other side had the bowling stuff, and it had lots of windows and stuff, so it was really light over there. Things got pretty fuzzy here, and there was something about going around through the arcade. I don't know if it was on the skeeball side of the building or if it was some other place. There was some other stuff going on that I can't remember, and something about lots of money, I think.

Rapping Sports Event

I showed up at this big auditorium/bar and there was some sort of event going on. At first I think I thought it was some sort of sporting event. So I came in the back of the auditorium and started down to the bottom, but the bottom wasn't necessarily the front. It seems that there was a wall there, and whatever was happening was actually going on somewhere in the middle.

When I was about halfway down, I got to this little thing that was like a podium that was something like the roll top desk. I just got down there, and there was some guy there that I thought was going to try to get rid of me, but Jamiroquoi (the singer) came down and was showing this guy his album. It was like it was his first one, and he was trying to get it sold or made or something.

Then I ended up leaving and going down to the front and there was a girl down there that I was supposed to be sitting with. As I was heading down there, I passed a couple of guys that were rappers, I think, and I believe that one of them was L.L. Cool J. or at least he looked like him, and it was like we were friends or something, and so we talked for a bit and as I continued down farther, there was a group of guys (also rappers) that were off to my right just across from where I was going to be sitting. I said hi to them and then went and sat down with this girl.

Someone in front of us was picking on her or something, and she had her jacket up to hide her face from them. They were kind of off to her left, and I was on her right, so I could still see her face. I asked her what they were doing, and I think either she told me, or I saw them throw something at her. So I told them to stop, and they did and got up and left. I think I told her it was okay, and she put down her jacket.

Short Flight To Canada

I was driving along 256 towards Grottoes or towards the airport, and it was night time. I remember it was a little foggy or something. Then I was there at the airport, and I had a flight to go to Canada, and this one was flying direct from Weyers Cave to Canada. I got on and I remember sitting on the plane, and after an hour and a half, I was there.

I can't remember what I did while I was there, but I remember that where ever Kate (girl from Canada) and I were, it looked a lot like a twisted version of my house. Then I came back home, and I was in my room and talking to Nick (step-brother) about the trip. I asked him to guess how long it took me to get there, and whatever he guessed, it was way off. Then I told him and "showed him" on a 3D map (but it was in my mind) the straight shot course from Virginia to Canada, but for some reason Canada was close to the southern border of California, because that's the line that was drawn in my dream. I think then I sat here and talked to Nick about it for a little bit, and then it was done...

Charlottesville Driving and Lunch Samples

I was over in Charlottesville, and I was driving down the road that goes by McIntyre Park. I think I was going away from the mall at first, and then I was doing something, and then I was on my way back.

While on my way back, I had to get off on this "exit" to be able to continue on the road I was on. It went uphill to a road that crossed, and I just had to go across that one and down the other side. I noticed when I got up there that there was a sign. It was yellow and a square turned on it's corner, and it had a smiley face.

I then continued on down the other side and on to wherever I was heading. I remember thinking that McIntyre Park was behind me because I had already passed it, but that wasn't where I was going.

Then I remember being on the road that K-Mart is on, and I was going to the main road, but for some reason I was in the way and I was all turned around in the lanes or something. There were lots of other cars around, but I think that the people that I was in the way of were ones that were walking. Anyway, so I think I finally got straightened out after being in the way for a while, and the next thing I remember was that I was at "school" only it looked more like the Staunton mall.

I think it was supposed to be before school, and the girls in the cafeteria were setting out things to sample for the lunch that was coming that day. So I ended up getting a lot of stuff like mashed potatoes and some sort of chicken thing and several other little servings of things, but by the time I got them all on my plate, it filled up my plate, and I was basically already eating lunch. Someone was flabbergasted that I got so much food already, and I remember saying that I'd pay for it, but they said something about that I didn't need to do that, and they thought it was silly of me to think so. So then I put two dollars in the paper cup there that had a little bit of money in it, and everyone applauded me.

Then I remember only a brief picture of walking around in this area that almost reminds me of a combination of the courtyard in Zork Nemesis, and a mall, but I think it was still supposed to be school. There were all these tables around that looked like round versions of the tables in the Harrisonburg mall, and I think that Ellen (supervisor from Merillat) was sitting and talking to someone at one of them, but I didn't stop to say anything.

More Money For Pat

It started out that I was at home, and there was something about watching the Titanic on TV in the dark living room. I think that everyone else must have been gone. But during the movie, mom and Pat (step-dad) came home, and I spoke with them briefly, and there was something about I had just made my payment for the week.

Then Pat asked me if I had a credit card, and instead of telling him no, I just asked why. He said, "Well, we need a hundred dollars" and I asked for what and he said that it was for my payment. I said that I had payed a hundred, and he said that they were needing two hundred this week. I got really mad I remember yelling at them as I was stomping over to my room. One thing I yelled was "you can't do this to me!" and as I was just going in my door and starting up my steps, Pat was over there close and he was trying to convince me that they needed it, and I think I yelled something like "fuck you!" at them, and I thought about Eric and Matthew (younger brothers) hearing me, and that was the only reason why I felt bad.

Then I was on my steps trying to get my door shut, and Pat had gone away, and I think I heard the phone ring, and someone said it was for me, and that it was Tara from Merillat. I quickly came upstairs to pick it up and I was afraid that they were going to try to be mean and hang it up on me before I could get to it. I got to my phone, which was laying on my bed, and I said "hello?" and I didn't hear anything. I said it again, and I'm pretty sure that she was still there and that she said a little bit of something, but that was the end.

White Dress And Brown Hair

All I remember was seeing this woman against a dark background. She had on a long white or light colored dress and brown hair. I remember that she was smiling at me over he shoulder, and her back was to me.

Family of Imposters

I was trying to get on the ferry to get to Victoria, Canada. I know that at one point I was on what I thought was the ferry, and I had to put a dollar of change into a slot (like a video game or a parking meter) that was beside my seat up by my window. So I put 50 cents into it, and that was enough. I think that there was a lady there I had to ask for help because I wanted to be sure I did the right thing, so that's what I did.

After I put the money in, I was either standing or sitting there by where I had put the money in, and there were a couple of people there that were supposed to be my parents (but they didn't look familiar to me). It turned out that we weren't on the ferry after all, but we were on the bus that goes to the ferry.

I remember driving around and going around some turns and it was a lot like being right up on the UVIC campus or close to it. Finally we reached the ferry terminal and we got out and went up to one of the sliding doors that were a lot like a grocery store's doors. (now that I think about it, this dream was full of a lot of grey, blue and white while the previous dream was full of a lot of bright and vivid colors and an almost yellow light coming from the sun)

Anyway, so we went through one of these sets of doors and out to this thing that was supposed to be the ferry. It looked more like a very short tractor trailer, and there were many of them there. They didn't hold very many people each, so me and my "family" were supposed to get on one. I think they got on one but I was still outside and I saw the thing pull down a ramp and drive right into the water-- and it floated! (Like one of these military amphibious vehicles) I thought that was pretty neat, so went on ahead and got on the one that my "family" was on and sat down behind the passengers seat. They said that I had to pay a dollar for it, so I reached into my pocket and pulled out a small handful of change. I was looking in there, and I realized that all I had was American money. I looked a bit more to see if maybe I had a Canadian dollar, but I didn't. So then I was asking about how much American was a dollar of Canadian, but I think I just ended up giving my "mom" some quarters for her to figure it out to pay for it.

He Killed My Father

There was something about this older guy that I knew, and it was like he was my father or step father or something. I don't remember much of anything that happened prior to him dying, but I remember that I was at what looked like Pleasant Valley Church, and there were a lot of people in there. There was also some guy there that didn't like my "father" and so I think that he was the one that killed him.

I remember that I was sitting at one of the aisles, and someone asked a question to the crowd about whether or not they had anything to say, and no one was answering, so I jumped up and said something about the "new guy" (the one that killed the first guy) being a son of a bitch or something to that effect. He got very angry at me, but by that time, everyone else was angry at him and he didn't have time to get to me before the crowd got to him.

I don't know what they did with him because I left and went to the kitchen. It was close to night time by then, and so the fellowship hall area was really dark. I just remember being in the kitchen briefly, but I think that was the end of the dream.

Wilda On The Hog

I was at work and I had my pallet jack and a cardboard box full of wood, and I was going around to the hog (a wood scrap shredding machine), and as I was going around the corner by the Dimter, Dave (a supervisor at Merillat that I didn't get along with) was there, and he said that everything was down. As I looked over in the direction of the hog, I noticed that a lot of lights and stuff were off, but as I got closer to the hog, I saw that it was on, and so I went over to empty out the box.

As I threw in a couple of pieces, Wilda (another supervisor) came over for some reason and started talking to me. As I kept going, for some unknown reason, she climbed up onto the hog belt while it was still running. She went up about halfway, and then she came back down. As she got to the bottom, she was walking at the same pace as the belt was going, so she was staying in the same spot, and she was talking to me. Then she said something about "Oh! The hog belt is still going!" and she started laughing while she was walking.

On A Tour With Warf The Wolf Man

There was something about the characters from Scooby Doo, and I was in this huge house with them, and we had to look around for some reason. So Shaggy went out and was looking around, and he fell into a hole in the floor or something, so I went after him and ended up doing the same, I think. So I had to spend time making my way back to the rest of the group.

Then some of us set out again, and I was following this guy that was either supposed to be Chewbacca or a wolf man. He was a bit shorter than me, but he was really hairy. He had on a white dress shirt and he was carrying a flashlight and he was leading the way. He also kind of reminded me of Warf from Star Trek, especially in the way that he acted. He was very proper and civilized and spoke well.

Anyway, so we were looking around through this HUGE house and we'd go into different rooms and such, and then we got so that we were going through the same places we'd already been. At one point I found a place that we hadn't gone into yet that was kind of in a corner by another door which we HAD been in already, but for some reason he didn't want to go in there.

So then we went back to the others for a bit and then I went out again, kind of by myself, I think, but Shaggy was also there. We were climbing around on all this stuff and going through all these places, almost as if it were "Kid's Castle" in Percel Park. I remember finding all these neat places to hide or play.

Then the hairy guy started out again, and we followed him. He was heading off in the same direction as before, and we passed the one place the same as we did before and I told him to go that way, but he wouldn't. So then we eventually found this stairway and followed it up, and when we came out the top, we were on this balcony type of place that went around the whole inside of this huge room. It was busy almost as if it were a mall. In the direction we were facing (the "end" of the house) I saw this opening in the wall, and it was a place that had a counter, like it was a store or something. To the right of it, I saw this door, and I was thinking that if we had gone in the door that I had been trying to get in to, then that was where we would've come out.

Anyway, so I went over to the counter and by the cash register there were these little stands with boxes (like candy racks) that had things in them, and I remember looking in them and messing around with whatever was in there while the hairy guy was talking to the girl at the counter. Then we left and went exploring again.

At one point we passed this one room (which I think we had passed sometime earlier) and I was wanting to go in there, but he wouldn't let us. As a walked by the door, I heard someone in there, and I knew that it was someone's bedroom. I was thinking that if they hadn't been in there at that moment, then we may have been able to go in.

My Car Eating Bryan's Car

There was something to do with driving, and Bryan (coworker from Merillat) also had something to do with it. I'm not sure if I was trying to get away from him or if I was trying to hunt him down, but there was something about him driving his car somewhere, and then I drove my car to the same place, but I was kind of surprised to see his there. I didn't see him anywhere, though. Where ever we were was someplace that was supposed to be close to Uncle Rollin's. Part of it was like it was in a building. It's like there was a parking lot, and then off to my left was this platform that was about 3 or 4 feet tall that separated the parking lot from the rest of the building.

So I went over that way, and I knew that there was something that I was supposed to be scared of, but I don't know what it was. I thought it had something to do with Bryan, but it seems that there was also something else. Something bigger and more eminent.

So as I was at the platform, I thought that someone said something referring to either the parking lot, my car, his car, or whatever it was that I was scared of. I turned around and looked and my car was "eating" his. I noticed that the parking lot looked almost as if it were closed in with the building I was in (with the platform I was on) but it looked like it was outside at the same time.

Anyway, my car had changed and it had something like a scoop from a bulldozer on the front of it, and it was lifting up Bryan's car and eating it at the same time. I'm not sure how it was eating it, but it was. I was scared about what my car was doing, and I think it had something to do with the thing I was supposed to be scared of anyway, but it wasn't my car directly. Then I think my car was chasing us around or something was after us and so we were trying to get away (I'm not sure who else was with me.) Finally either I got into my car or I got into Bryan's and we left, trying to get away from whatever it was.

They Called ME A Nigger?

I was at school and there was a track meet going on. I was going up the flight of stairs at the end of the school (at the end of the cafeteria) and the people from Buffalo Gap (competing school) team were coming down the stairs. At first they all seemed nice and friendly, but as the last few were coming down the stairs, they started calling someone from our team a nigger. I wasn't saying anything to them about it, but as the last few went by (and by this point, they were all heading upstairs now because I remember the last few looking down at me over a balcony or something as they went up) I figured out that they were calling me a nigger, even though I'm white, because of something I had said about that first person they were talking about.

So I think I went down the hall of the first floor to try to go to the office to say something about them, and Jamey (tall guy from school and elementary school) came from the other direction, and he knew why I was there, and so he ran into the office and said something to them about me and lied and said I was the one that had started the whole thing. (he was there with Buffalo Gap) Then they wouldn't let me into the office to tell my side of the story.

So then I was back down at the stairs again, and Ellen (supervisor from Merillat) and Ronnie (friend from school and church) were there. Ellen and Ronnie were talking to Jamey about what he had said and they were trying to get him to tell the truth about what had happened, but he wouldn't do it. Then he was trying to get Ronnie to lie, too, and say that I had started it, but Ronnie said that he couldn't do that and that he was sticking with me and Ellen. A couple of the members of the Buffalo Gap track team were sitting there on the steps, too. (I was on the ones that went upstairs, and they were on the ones that went down to the cafeteria)

So then I left and went "back out" and I was at work. Ellen came out there with me and was going to show me how to use one of the machines right up there at the front, but she was worried about me doing it because the people in the office were deciding on whether or not to fire me, or at least what to do about the situation. I was kind of worried.

Then she went back in to see how it was going, and I stayed out there for a while and messed with the machine. Then she came storming out and she said that they decided to forget the whole thing and have people to quit. (kind of like a voluntary lay-off, I guess, except if you didn't quit, they'd fire you.) She was really worried about me, so she took me down the aisle way that goes down the left side of the plant (by door and frame departments). As we got to the back of the plant, she was telling someone about what happened and that she wanted to keep me out of sight so that they didn't come and tell me to quit.

Cleaning Out The Chicken House

I remember being at my house and going out to the chicken house to the end with the lawn mowers and motorcycle, and it was really a mess out there. Some lady came and said that she was going to get something, and mom or Pat or someone said something about having to get that [chicken house] cleaned out for her.

Then a while later I went out again thinking that I was going to have to help and that the lady hadn't gotten there yet, but when I got there, it was cleared out mostly, and the lady's car was parked outside the end of it by the little clump of trees. Whatever it was that she took required her to leave her car there while she took it.

I looked into the chicken house, and it had this layer of grass stuff (a lot of shamrocks and things like that) that looked very soft and comfortable to lay in...

Broken Glass And A Dog In The Fire Place

The first, I was going to a friend's or girlfriend's house after work (I worked at the grocery store again) and when I got there, I went in the front door and down the cream colored hallway about 15 feet. It ended there, but in front of me was a flight of carpeted stairs, to my left was the dining room and kitchen (dining room first, and then around to the right corner was the kitchen) Her parents were sitting in there. Off to my right was the living room and "den".

I went in to talk to the parents briefly, and then the girl (who reminded me a lot of Claire Danes, I think) was out by the steps and she dropped a glass. It broke and I had to get from the dining room to the living room carefully without stepping on the glass. I only had on socks. She said she was going go clean it up. So I went over into the living room while she was cleaning it up. As soon as I got in the door, there was another door off on the wall to my left. The den was in there. I went over there and looked in and then I turned around and stood there at that door for a moment.

I then saw there dog (a little white and hairy thing) go over to my left (to the wall across from the door that came in from the hallway) and get behind some little cage or something. I heard it whimpering and I went over and looked closer and it was walking and sniffing around in a pile of hot coals. I told it to get out of there, and at first it did, but then after wandering around for a moment it went in again, almost like it didn't bother it. Then I told it to get out again and I went over to the girl who was still cleaning up the little bits of glass and told her and then I carefully went in and told her parents. They were almost panic stricken and the dad asked me why I hadn't done anything about it.

So then we rushed back over (and for some reason, by this point I no longer had on any pants. Just a shirt and socks and underwear) and the dog had gone across the room to the fireplace (which, as we walked in was off to our left, between the two doors. They told it to get out of there and I'm not sure if it did or not, but I went over into the den again and looked at the backside of the wall with the fireplace, and there was a really hot fireplace there. I was really worried about the dog getting hurt.

I went back over and it was just kind of wandering around in the middle of the floor in front of the fireplace and right in front of my feet. Then I went back over and the girl had said that she was done cleaning up the glass, but I could still see all sorts of little specks in the carpet. I was thinking that she should use the vacuum, but I'm not sure if I said anything to her or her parents or not.

A Class In Another Dimmension

Okay, I'm not quite sure where to begin. There was one thing about being somewhere that looked like Stuart Middle School, and I remember that Carla (a girl three grades below me in school) was there. She was saying something about her baby and why she decided to have her. She even said the baby's name, but I forget what it was. I remember wondering that if she had a baby, then what did her dad and mom say about it, and why was she there instead of at home taking care of it.

Then there was something about being at work (Merillat), and I think that they sent me off somewhere, only they didn't realize they had or something. But I was with a small group of people, and one of them (I'm not sure who any of them were now, but at the time I knew who they were) had been turned into a little black girl. It had something to do with her past, and it was a common thing to happen to people when they did this thing that they were doing.

At one point, we were in a classroom or something, and I remember seeing her at a desk or something in the middle of the room. Then there was some point that we were walking around through a hallway or outside or something, and they skies were all grey and cloudy, but yet everything was really clear. I also recognized this as somewhere I had been before in one of my dreams. It was a lot like the place with the explosions and alien invasions. I knew that we were in a different dimension or world or something.

So we went back to work eventually, but we didn't really see anyone there. We were standing up at the end of the pick-line conveyor. Then we kind of saw something coming up to us like it was trying to come through a curtain (kind of like they way the father appeared at the end of Contact) and I knew that it was Doris W. (a lady from work) or maybe Wilda (a supervisor from work) and she was talking to us like we were in the same dimension as her. We asked her if she could see us and she said yes, and then we asked her something like either if everyone else could see us, or if she could see everyone else, and she said that she could see them, too and they could see her, but they couldn't see us there.

So we knew that we were done in that dimension and it was time to come back, so we did. Then I remember being over close to the Newman Planer machine, only it was folding and wrapping newspapers. I was talking to someone there who was fairly young and I think it was a female (it was someone from work) but I can't remember who it was. She said something about learning a lesson over where we had been.

I looked around, and there was all this damp bright yellow sawdust everywhere. I knew that I had to get working to clean it up, so I went around to maintenance to start. While I was over there, I noticed that the small hog conveyor came out of the wall just to the right side of the maintenance doors, and it was below the level of the floor, so it wouldn't be a problem to scoop the sawdust in that was nearby. Just as I was getting ready to do so, one of the temps and one of the full time guys (I don't know their names, but I just know their faces... the full time guy does glue clamp, is tall and skinny, has straight blond hair and wears a white baseball cap, but no beard... the temp has dark hair that's kind of long and curly in the back (a Mexican with a mullet) and usually is pulling strips. He started out working at the Dimter saw) came over and started talking to me and the temp started scooping in the sawdust. He dropped the metal thing he was scooping with onto the conveyor by accident, but we got it again. Then Wilda came over and said something about her husband had gotten some of the blue [sawdust]. Then I think that Bryan (a guy at work) walked by and went into the maintenance dept.

Then there was something about I was back at home and it was kind of cloudy and dark and sunny at the same time, and I went over to Grandmamma's trailer to see her. I know we talked for a little bit, and then she said something about having to take the dog out for a walk. (the dog reminded me a little of Chondo, the first dog I remember my grandparents having) and I said that I'd do it, and so I went to grab the leash to put on it to take out. The dog kind of growled at me and grandmamma said that she had gotten so that she could just let the dog out and it would come back, and I said "oh, okay" and let the dog out the door.
