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.
