I was working in Merillat again, although it seemed to be in a new building (which feels somewhat like a church to me), and everything was drastically rearranged. It seems to me that everything had a conveyor for each separate piece that was produced, and at the end were all these slanted tables that the things ran down onto, and we had to take them from there and stack them behind us on the rolling conveyors (like the type that pervaded throughout the floors of Merillat).
I was at the end of the thing, stacking the pieces that were coming down the line of the conveyor to me. Up in front of me I could see Dot (from Merillat), and also a guy that looked a lot like John (the first shift clean-up guy, also from Merillat), although he also looked like a similar guy from Kroger's that has a big afro (but he's white as can be). He was stacking wood from a conveyor up farther ahead of me, more towards the middle of the plant. I was in the back of the plant. I think I kept leaving my station and walking around some because I think that something kept slowing things down, and so I didn't have a whole lot to do. Although, when it did get busier, I had a hard time making myself get back to work.
Towards the beginning of all of this, the air/dust system shut down, and the sawdust from the overhead pipe work came pouring in. We had to evacuate the place, and when we did, we all ran outside, and then into another part of the building that WAS a church, and we stayed in what looked like a choir dressing room for a short time, and then when they got everything fixed again, we went back in and continued working. After trying to work some more and ending up walking around again, the whole thing happened again with the dust system. The first time we left, we exited through the right side in a door in the back. The second time, we exited through the left door in the back. (well, those were the ones _I_ went through each time. Each one was used by people each time)
Anyway, we ended up in the choir rehearsal room again, and I sat down on the carpet next to someone that I knew but can't really remember. Perhaps an ex-girlfriend or something. I just know that I seemed to be the only male in there. The ex was on my right, and I was facing the door that everyone was coming in through, and there was a little wall that came out into the middle of the room to separate it into two parts, and I was kind of at the end of it.
Then a girl named Julie whom I had known in middle school showed up (she was the one that had trouble with her legs, and I saw her some years later, and she was in a wheel chair) and she was on my left. She had something that was very small, almost like a pill or something, and she was talking about how good it was. But I don't think that she meant as in taste. I think she meant as in what it did and the energy that it gave her. Almost as if it were a holy thing. I wish I could remember what it was, but I can't. It was soon after this that we went back into the plant, I think, and then the dream ended.
