| Am I Dying? |
January 4, 2001 |
| The Dream: I dreamed I was holding this woman in my arms who was dying except that the woman I was holding...I thought was me. She looked nothing like me but I thought I remembered being her and when I was holding her, I thought it was me.

| Three Worlds |
January 5, 2001 |
| The Dream: I was in Las Vegas. I don't remember seeing anything that looked like Vegas but I remember making a list of all the places I wanted to go and things to do and I remembered thinking that I wouldn't have much time but I had 2 rolls of quarters that I would play slots in the middle of the night with because it was going to be the only time I would have available. I remember a hotel room and then searching for a restaurant / cafe to meet my friends for dinner. The cafe was small and had a small dinning area outside. My friends and I were driving in the country to go to cabins we were staying at. As we drove, I saw a planet in the sky with a star drawn on the top of it and a line across the bottom (top hemisphere has a star, and the below the equator has a solid line slanting slightly upward from left to right). I point it out and at first I think it is a moon but it looks just like earth (with the cloudy blue you would expect to see from space) except for the star and the line on it. As we continue to drive, we pass this planet 3 times as if it is a tree stationery on the scenery and we pass it by three times. The people I remember seeing is Chani, Andy, Penny and Greg and June. I feel like there are 10 people in the group but I don't remember who all of them are. June is giving a massage to 2 of the girls at one point.

| Scarecrow |
January 5, 2001 |
| The Dream: I am watching a scene. There was a very simple man there watching also. He reminds me of the Scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz. What happens is - a man passes by and when we next see him he has been beaten to death. We are in a courtroom and the Scarecrow is giving his testimony and it sounds just as I saw it above. It would appear that we will know no more. The judge pounds his gavel and claims he knows what really happened and he accuses the Scarecrow of beating the guy to death but I saw what the Scarecrow saw and I knew that he was innocent. For some reason, we are now all trying to escape but we have to go in disguise. We are going to escape on a big ship, it looks like a pirate ship. The Scarecrow is concealed in the bushes and he has built a fake man that is full of animals he wants to take with him. When he comes out of the bushes, there are a few animals that are staying behind that are following the big dummy man - one of them is a mongoose. A ring-tailed mongoose that reminds me of a raccoon. I think I am dressed a bit like Dorothy from the Oz, with pigtails and a fruffy dress and all. You get the feel that the Scarecrow was a friend to the animals and that he was trying to protect them by taking them with him somehow.

| Wild Farm |
January 6, 2001 |
| The Dream: I am on a farm. I am walking through this bunk bed area where I notice a big tiger sleeping in one of the bunks. It has been injured so they brought it inside while it was healing. It is morning and I realize they would be waking up soon and as I think this, it wakes up. I move quickly to a door that leads to a bathroom. The cat gets up to follow and another injured tiger comes out of somewhere and both of them are following me. I close the bathroom door but the latch is messed up and I can't get it to lock properly. They are pawing at the door and I notice that there is a door to the oustside on the bathroom so I go outside. As I go outside, the cats have broken through the door and entered the bathroom. Outside, I realize the farm is a rehab center for injured wildlife and that the cats really are quite tame but since I didn't know why they were following me, I didn't know if they were hungry and were going to eat me or what.

| The Needy Ones |
January 7, 2001 |
| The Dream: I was on a beach. I had a toy helicopter and this cute little boy came up and asked if he could play with it. I told him yes but there was also a bunch of other toys buried in the sand and I pulled out some of the others like an ambulance and stuff and handed it over to him. His mother came over and started talking to me. She seemed kind of needy and latched onto me. We chatted for awhile and I wandered off. When the mother noticed, she came running after me and started acting all funny and desperate and started begging me not to leave her behind. I was kind of weirded out about it and I explained what I was doing and where I was going. She calmed down and asked me again not to leave her behind. As I continued to walk away, her little boy came running up and he asked where I was going. I explained to him pretty much like I did his mother. He looked like he was going to cry. He looked over his shoulder at his mom and then he turned back to me kind of desperate and asked me to please not leave him, to not leave him with his mother. She was apparently a bit overbearing with her needy clinginess. I hugged him very tightly and told him everything would be alright and even if I wasn't always there that he should know that he was a strong little boy and that he would always have angels with him. He seemed to calm down and I went on.

Robert Moss Dream |
January 8, 2001 |
| The Dream: I dreamed that Robert Moss had a dream and he was trying to get to a woman friend of his to warn her. She was in her mid to late forties and had short darkish hair and a fairly youthful body. When he meets her, she is a dreamer too and he is explaining how his dream involved a cliff but as he explains, the dream begins to unfold and they are hanging on a vine on the cliff side and the cliff begins to crumble. It would appear that Robert and his friend will fall from the Cliff side, vine and all but Robert remembers that part of the dream told him about the bushes and as the vine is swinging he grabs onto the bushes on the cliff side and pull his friend and himself to safety. She asks him how he knew the bushes were safe and he tells her that the dream told him that the "bush of life" would save them and he realized when he saw the bushes what the dream was trying to tell him.

Robbed Again? |
January 10, 2001 |
| The Dream: I dreamed that I woke up in the middle of the night and looked out the computer room window just as tail lights left my drive way and went across the street into the neighbors back yard. I noticed that I could not see Andy's car and my first thought was Oh Crap I think they stole Andy's car. I told Andy he should call the police. It was a scam set up "gone in 60 seconds" style. Where multiple cars were being heisted in the middle of the night. For some reason, the cops couldn't do anything. I went back to bed but I was having trouble getting back to sleep when I thought I heard a noise outside. I thought, impossible, no way they would hit the same place twice in one night. I told Andy to call 911 and I ran downstairs and flipped the outside light on as I opened the front door. No light came on. It had been busted out. I thought it had been done on purpose by the robbers. I went out in my night gown anyway and as I headed to my car, I noticed the hood of my car was open, Andy was following close behind me. The kids got scared and tried to run off. They were young. I caught the girl and dragged her into the house while Andy chased down the boy. I was so angry. The girl was struggling to get away. I jerked her up by the arm and shook her really hard. I said, do you have any idea how many times I have been robbed? She smiled and said, 4 times. I am near speechless. I say, do you know how much money this has cost me? She smiled again and said 4 times. The girl couldn't have been more than 13 and the boy about the same age. She obviously knew about my prior robberies and I wondered if she was involved.

Golden Bridge |
January 11, 2001 |
| The Dream: Small piece in a kitchen where we are going to cook something, maybe more spaghetti. We went to get the pan that had been used the last time and it was full of old spaghetti. For some reason, Andy put the pan away without cleaning it or emptying the spaghetti out of it. EW! There is a brief piece I can remember barely anything of except the beach and maybe mermaids on the beach or in the water. Friends and I (girls) are vacationing, there are 4 of us. At one place, we have to walk across this golden shimmering bridge that really didn't exist at all, except to let us cross over. One of the girls was saying how they used the bridge in a music video and did I remember it. I didn't. We arrive at this quaint hotel and we have our own rooms. My coffee maker keeps dripping, it won't stop. Somehow, trying to dry it off it catches an electrical fire and then a real fire that seems to burn continuously. I call for maintenance thinking perhaps I should get a different room. I am exploring the kitchen and they obviously cleaned the fridge out but didn't throw the food away. There were packages of fancy cool looking vegetables - odd ones - and 3 frozen packages of duck. I knew in the dream that it was duck because the meat was black. Several meat cuts and stuff. I remember telling the girls later that we could cook at my room and eat that food and contemplating that the hotel had kicked some long term tenants out of my room so they could rent us a room. The odd part is for some reason, I felt they had kicked out some old Jewish couples. I am talking to Lisa, it feels like an extension of the vacation dream. She has messed up her finger - ring or pointer finger - on her left hand. Her hair is longer than I have ever seen it and she is very thin. There was a discussion on Jeff and Celia. I told her that her stance should be education for Celia and how many 6 year olds speak two languages. Small part where a schnauzer was licking my face. I stick my tongue out and it licked and then bit my tongue (Gross). Then it turned into a cat.
Insights and
Interpretations: The fire with the coffee pot seems to stick out as well as the darn duck. I don't know why the duck would have so much significance because I have rarely ever eaten duck in my life but it really seemed to mean something, with three of the packages showing up in my dream. I felt the coffee pot might have been telling me something about the coffee intact I currently have with my real awakened diet and have tried to curb it with decaf, not that I am sure that is going to make too much of a difference. ----- Back To Top |

Lost Friends |
January 15, 2001 |
| The Dream: I saw Rulena again last night. She still seemed the same as far as the attitude and she is telling me that she was divorced. She talks about her children and her brothers and then she asks me if I want to go for a motorcycle ride. I ask her how long she has been riding and she says a couple of years. There are a couple of disturbing scenes that I can't quite place of running water or fire. It seems unsettling, as in out of control and destructive but I can not recall details.

| Ala October Sky |
January 12, 2001 |
| The Dream:
I was at the lake with Pam, Jeanne, Joanne, Janet and it seems like Kim too at least. We are swimming and relaxing. Seems like we have a row boat that seems to have some water in it. I think someone is smoking pot but I pass on it. Other than being in a very relaxed state, floating, and conversation, I remember nothing else. There is a scene ala October Sky style where a guy is told he can not use the wind to fly but he is obsessed with it and one stormy, windy day, he steps off the mountain side and flies and all the town is cheering and slightly stunned about it. I get to see from his perspective when he is flying and he starts flapping his arms to get some directional control. It was really a great feeling! Friends of mine have a convertible camaro that breaks down on the curb at my house and ask if it is ok to leave it near the drain. It has been raining pretty hard so I tell them they should push it further away from the drain. I look in the drain and it is pretty big and pretty full of water. To make more room, I climb in my car to move it and I am zooming full speed backwards down the street. I am amazed at what a good driver I am , wheeling myself around in reverse. There is an odd piece following this where I am at a bulldozer or large tractor and I seem to be trying to outrun a crowd of some sort. They guy on the bulldozer runs interference for me so I have more time to get away - create a larger gap.
Insights and
Interpretations: Personally, the speeding around in reverse has a weird backward kind of meaning for me...on the one hand I am amazed at my ability and skill but on the other hand I have to look at is as a possible hint that I am moving backward in my own life which I don't like. The fact that I have assistance with a stranger on a bulldozer running interference for me does give me some comfort. Perhaps backwards is the way I need to run at the moment. ----- Back To Top |

| Real Estate |
January 14, 2001 |
| The Dream:
I am at an open house and Kevin comes in, he reminds me of the guy who almost always plays the devil, Gabrielle Burn, in the movies. I am chatting with him for a moment in the doorway when he suddenly encircles my left wrist with his fingers and pulls me through the house, through the bedroom and into a large walk in closet. I am amused at the rather domineering treatment. He cups my face and starts kissing me. WOW! That was nice. It was a good kiss. I think people start showing up because the rest of the piece is rather fuzzy. Later, I am walking past a table of people who are new at real estate. I comment that the whole real estate thing doesn't seem so hard and one of the guys speaks up and says "yeah, but you guys work for Scott and Keith and they are already successful in the business". The new people are envious, upset about the girls who work for Scott and Keith because they have an advantage over themselves because Scott and Keith already have a proven success record. I had never seen myself from this perspective before so I had not realized how lucky and blessed I had been by forming this union in real estate. It made me feel just a bit more appreciative of my circumstances.

| The Great Amethyst |
January 17, 2001 |
| The Dream:
I am waiting forever for this flight that keeps getting postponed. I am only going on a 4 day trip, leaving Wednesday night and returning on Sunday. But now it is 11:50PM on Thursday and I am only going to have 3 days. We finally get to board - the pilot keeps saying that we had to replenish our anti-freeze fuel supply or something. Nitrous fuel - it seemed like an odd thing to have on the plane. We get on the plane and I get an overview of the outside of the plane and I am thinking how odd, old and long, it looks. It doesn't seem normal to me. In flight, I notice weird things like where the heck are all the stewardess? And, why did everyone pack McDonalds and when I look at them questioningly they say "Its our Thanksgiving meal" I am thinking it is only October, so why are they celebrating Thanksgiving a month early. I end up in the cockpit and the pilot is a freak. He has the plane on auto pilot and we are too high. We are flying through space. A stewardess says to the pilot that we are going to crash into an asteroid field but he pilot is oblivious and crazed looking. She tries to alter course but can not and somehow we navigate through two of these asteroid fields and we realize that we are not only divinely protected but divinely guided. Time passes, I must have fallen asleep or something. (I believe we have landed on another planet.) I only have a vague remembrance of where we are from. The people around me appear to have no recollection at all. My mind tries to grab my past reality and eventually, I see that the people on the plane are now living in an alternate reality but they have no memory of their past lives as if it were only a dream to them. It is set up like old Roman Greek with modern open air shopping centers and we appear to all be in classes. When I recall my past, I try to alert some others to our situation - what I find is that the children already know - their memories have stayed intact. The women seem to have a vague memory of their past. And, the men are in total denial and want to force and coerce the women and children through ridicule. I find myself in a small band of women and a few children trying to unravel the mystery. It seems to be centered around a large raw uncut amethyst that one of the women claims is a "pure cut", meaning it has no bubbles in the stone. We think the pilot was an alien and that he kidnapped the people on the plane in order to get the stone and if we have the stone then we have the power to return to our prior lives. One scene - Charlie - looks at us with disgust (He's about 6 years old). My thought is that adults "remembered" before but they quickly forgot and he has seen this happen so many times before that he does not trust that we will remember long enough to actually make any changes and return home.
Insights and
Interpretations: I find it interesting that this new society was broken down so similarly to our society today. Women are most accepting of the idea and harbor some vague memories, children remember in their totality until it is taught out of them by society and men have a tendency to deny their spiritual aspects in life. I find that interesting. ----- Back To Top |

| Meteor |
January 21, 2001 |
| The Dream:
There was a meteor headed for Earth. My parents began planning for a possible hit. (Not what my real parents looked like at all). My father began constructing green houses. He had a field full of green houses. He was showing me the corn, green beans, peas and carrots that he would grow in the event the Earth lost her ability to grow food. My mother was in denial running around as if everything was normal and all would be fine. At one point, I have to stop them both and explain to them that if this meteor struck the earth, then the earth would explode into tiny little pieces and there is no way any sort of life could survive. (I see a small portion of like an acre of earth free floating in space to illustrate the point), They look at me oddly, then discount it and go on to their fantasy preparations. I am in a store / cafe and this very large black man owns it. He is my friend. Something covert happens and my friend goes "under cover" and pretends to be just a waiter in the cafe. Before, he was always Johnny on the spot with the customers, now he must be more conservative and act as though he has no particular claim on the restaurant. Someone is after him and I am left to run the place on my own. I keep remembering how good he was with the customers and comparing myself to him and finding that I am lacking. A young guy starts frequenting the store. He seems my age, I seem much younger. A friendship is struck and often times he comes to help me in the store. One time I made him something special and I put a blue foil wrapped Hershey kiss in the package. It was like my signature. The next time he came in, I went to hand him another blue kiss and he had already picked one up. It was very endearing. There is a scene on a dock where the big black man (he reminds me of the big big black man in The Green Mile) is checking in on me and I tell him I am worried about him. He hugs me very solidly and tells me he is fine and I shouldn't waste any time worrying about him. But I just want it all to stop so he can come back to the store and be the person he really is. He felt like a mentor to me and I really missed him.
Insights and
Interpretations: Hmm, now the second string is more of the mystery, excitement, sadness...The last part of it says it all, the man feels like a mentor to me that I have lost a close contact with and I just want him to come back and spend time with me. That could be any number of things, or it could represent something as simple as missing my dream time because I haven't had much time to do the exploration. ----- Back To Top |

| Teenage Lovers |
January 23, 2001 |
| The Dream:
I saw Kim for the first time in months and we were talking about when she might have a 2nd baby and she patted her tummy and said she was due in December. I offered to lay down with her little girl who seemed a bit tired and when I picked her up, I sort of lost my grip and dropped her on the ground. She landed in a way that made me comment about a magazine shot (like she was posing), except that she was making such a sour mug shot of a face. There was a slight bit of chaos. Chuck and Kat were fighting and the wedding was off. There is an office setting. I am telling my boss I just can't go on like this. My life sucks and I might as well jump off a bridge. Later, I am trying to logon to the computer so I can find out what happened to a check I was waiting on. Andy says, I told you a week ago that the check came in and where he stashed it. It was for a $110. I couldn't remember the password to get on the computer. There is a young couple, teenage lovers. She has really long reddish blond hair. The couple is rarely seperated but the guy is going away to school. When he comes home from break, she is all excited and runs up to him and he kind of sets her aside (before, they would bond, meld into one like young lovers have a tendency to do, and let the world fade away behind them) this time, he sets her back and his new "Girlfriend" comes out from another room. It was really sad because she knew when he went away that their relationship would be altered forever upon his return but she did not realize it would be because of a new lover. There was a weird section of snow on the ground and people urinating in bottles because they had to keep and recycle their urine for some reason (reminds me of a Dune reference). They didn't seem that desperate but I can't imagine any other reason to recycle your urine. Bob and Tom were there but I think it was because the radio alarm came on while I was dreaming.
Insights and
Interpretations: The office piece I think is expressing some anxieties I have with the current work situation and I think I just need to keep an eye on that. The young lovers was really kind of sad because the young girl knew all along but it was still difficult when her boyfriend went away. And, totally forget about the weird urine part...although I have been getting stuff that might be indicating that I am drinking too much coffee and not enough water and in a way this might be telling me to recycle my fluids also. It might be a health warning of some sort. ----- Back To Top |

| Ala Temptation Island Style.... |
January 25, 2001 |
| The Dream:
I was dating someone and it was set up like the Temptation Island and I think it was "Johnny" and I was nervous because I really like him but I didn't want to so I decided to leave the island, or VOTE him off. Someone comes up behind me and starts kissing my neck and I think it might be this Johnny and then he turns me around and he is a much bigger guy. I don't know who it was but it felt like The Billy guy maybe or something. I keep tyring to go back to the dream during the night because it felt really nice. The coffee maker was grinding and brewing coffee but the water wouldn't run through. It kept stopping to a dribble of water. There is a polar bear, baby and it is romping on the floor with me and I am rolling around wondering if it is a dog or a bear or what...I think I decide, definitely a polar bear. My cats were in the mix too and at one point I looked down and Tasha's head wasn't attached to her body...she was alive and normal, just not attached.
Insights and
Interpretations: The second piece is kind of interesting though. It is dream pieces like this that make me think, I am drinking too much coffee and the water isn't able to flush my system. The polar bear is interesting because the polar part could be dealing with frozen aspects, emotions or whatnot, and the bear totem is not necessarily a clan item here but the root of the bear is canine or dog...or representing loyalty again which I have received messages of before. I do like the fact that Tasha with her misplaced head was alive and normal, just not attached. That might be my attitude or experience of something in my life, alive and normal just not attached. ----- Back To Top |

| Fine Trickery |
January 28, 2001 |
| The Dream:
I wanted some yogurt with hot fudge and whipped cream and nuts. So I am in this shop and the girl tells me they have a flavor of the day and did I want to try it. She thought it might have some chocolate in it but couldn't tell what it was and nobody had marked it properly. It smelled familiar and looked like it might have been cinnamon or honey or something. I took a little taste of it and stood there for a moment deciding whether I wanted it or not then realized it was peanut butter and I hate peanut butter flavor. There was a piece somewhere, a male voice was narrating and telling how he had to investigate these men who worked for him for years but he suspected they might be stealing from him and how he had to go through their books and he felt really kind of sad about it. I was walking around this large house and there was a piece of broken glass that looked like a really thick jewel and I stooped down during it narrative and felt the edge of the glass and the splintered pieces cut my thumb. I was was sorting through some old clothes, one long black flowering dress with big purple flowers on it. I haven't had it for years and I stood there looking at it wondering where it had been and why I hadn't worn it recently. I was wearing a black lace corset with garter belt and a pair of black thongs. (very weird, as it is not my normal attire) There is some sort of encounter of the sexual kind in the closet but I have limited details and probably wouldn't share them here anyway. I am laying on a bed and there is a child laying with their head in the curve of my side. It is so hot. I finally push its head away and its whole forehead is red. i get some ice cubes and rub the baby down and there is some guy there too, or the baby becomes a guy. I am not sure how the transition occurred but as I rub the ice against the guys checks and neck, he is staring at me in a desirous mode and I break contact and say here (handing him the ice) so he can finish icing himself down. It was weird as if when contact was broken, the look he gave me never even happened. I wake up for work and it is still dark outside but he clock says 10:20 or so and I am yelling at Andy to get up and he says did I want him to make the coffee and I say no, I am way late for work since I was supposed to be there at 8. The whole time I am thinking that I will have to tell my boss that 8 in the A.M. is just not going to work for me and we need to make it a later time of day for me to start. Then Andy and some other guy, start laughing because they reset the alarms because they thought it would be funny to see me get up in a panic apparently. It wasn't. Construction was all over 465 and Shadeland at 21st street was closed and rerouted across 21st street to post road. Farther north like 42nd street at Pendleton Pike was closed down again. Roads all over were a mess.
Insights and
Interpretations: The hot stuff seemed to be a theme here...the frozen yogurt wasn't really a hot reference but it was frozen and then the child on me was hotter than hell. Then you have the whole ice melting episode. And, the glass piece could be another metaphor for ice or frozen things. It was just weird. And, the worst part is the road construction on 465 seemed real, and that is the last thing we need in Indy,,, more road construction. ----- Back To Top |
