Beer Run and Unburying A Sandwich

I had a dream last night that I was at a house party. Someone was going to make a beer run & I offered to accompany him. First I wanted to go to the bathroom, but when I went in the room was large and there was a burgundy couch and one or two chairs in which people sat and conversed. There were also dark wooden book cases with lots of books along the walls. I sat on the toilet but I couldn't go with so many people just sitting there. So I went back out, went outside and found the person making the beer run to go with him. On the way, I took my swiss army knife out of a pocket, handed it to someone I knew and asked him to hold onto it until I got back. As we walked to beer-run guy's car I wondered to myself why I didn't keep my knife because it wasn't like it mattered if I walked into a store with it in my pocket.

Then suddenly I was in the backyard of the house where I grew up. My friends M & T were out there and there was a banquet table set up on the lawn where T was standing. There was a lot of things on the table and he had something in his hand. I started digging in the lawn up against the garage and unburied a bundle. I announced my find as I picked it up. It was a burgundy, thick linen napkin. I unfolded the corners and found neatly folded and still clean a couple sandwiches cut into small squares. M asked T if they were the sandwiches she had made for him for lunch. He denied it, but I had a feeling he was lying.

Then I woke up.

Trying To Get Ahead Of The Pack While Trying To Dodge Too Many Obstacles

Last night I had a dream that I was trying to drive somewhere, possibly a sporting event. I was on a freeway and encountered a very long line of cars I knew were going to the same place as I. I needed to get as far ahead of everyone else as I could. I had a special ticket and I was supposed to be in front of them all. There were some other people driving on the shoulder of the road so I followed them. I knew most people would not take kindly to my trying to cut in front of them so I waved my ticket out of my window as I drove, taking care to not let it blow away in the wind.

I managed to get in front of a great deal of cars by the time I got to an intersection. The reason for the massive backup was construction. In order to get where I had to go, I was supposed to go straight through the intersection. The other side of the intersection was a two lane road, two directions. The construction crew was re-paving both lanes at once, instead of the usual paving one lane while swerving everyone over to the other side. My alternate to get to my destination was to turn right. Except that road was blocked off by construction equipment and torn up completely down to the dirt and sand. The road they were repaving still had wet asphalt we were expected to drive on. I asked a construction worker if I had any other alternatives to get to my destination. No, he told me. I asked him isn't it a bad idea to drive on wet asphalt? He said no, it would not hurt my car if I went slowly. Or, he told me, I could turn right and go around all the construction equipment and take that road. I had to make a decision because I knew the people behind me were getting impatient. I chose to drive straight.

Suddenly I was out of my car and I was pulling a very heavy box. The box was about 4 feet high and I was pulling on a rope that was attached to the box, each end on each side of the box. The box had wheels on the bottom. I was pulling the box through very deep sand/dirt. I tried pulling and walking as fast as I could in order to get as far ahead of the people behind me as I could. Naturally, as in all dreams I have, no matter how fast I thought I was going, the people behind me were right on my tail. If I stopped the first person behind me would bump into me. I kept thinking it might be faster if I sat on the box and started it's motor (Yeah, I don't know either), but that meant having to stop & the people behind me would pass me.

I realized how ridiculous the whole thing was so I managed to make the box turn back into my car. While I walked beside my car and pushed I managed to reach in the window & get the car started. As fast as I could I jumped in & shifted it to drive & got going.

As I drove I had to keep dodging lots of construction obstacles. I desperately wanted the dream to end and to wake up.

I couldn't wake up so I ended up in the backyard of the house where I grew up. I was in the garage looking for something. The garage in my dream was larger than it is in real life. In reality it is a one-car garage. In my dream it was a two-, possibly 2 & 1/2 car garage. I was trying to find something specific to give to a specific person except I don't know what I was looking for nor to whom was the recipient.

Most of the rest of the details are too fuzzy. I just remember someone approaching & telling me to take a break and offered to take me somewhere for something to eat. We walked a short distance and stopped in front of a small store that was part of a strip mall. We went inside where they sold ice cream, soft-frozen yogurt and various other food & beverages.

I can't really remember what happened next, but I know I woke up shortly thereafter.

A Trial and Seafood

I had a dream last night that I was in a courtroom watching someone's trial. I'm relatively certain I was not a juror, that I was supposed to know the person on trial, but I don't know who it was. I'm also not sure what he or she was on trial for, but I know it was serious--possibly murder. The judge broke for lunch & I found myself in a store walking down an aisle. I was looking at table skirting, neatly folded on hangers, in plastic bags just like at the place where I used to work. They were hanging on hooks. An employee was changing some of the bags because they had gotten dirty. I offered to help. Then I got hungry and got into a line where food was being sold. I was behind a woman who looked a lot like Cameron Diaz. She could not decide what she wanted to order. She wanted fish, but all they had was fresh goldfish in a tank. It was like places where you look in a tank & pick out the lobster you want, they take it & cook it for you. It was the same thing for goldfish. I kept thinking that one would have to order many goldfish to just make an entree. The little fish were all different colors & the woman couldn't decide which color she wanted. The employee dumped all the fish onto the floor for her. I gave up and walked out of the store & back to the courtroom where the trial was about to resume. More people had arrived who wanted to watch the trial but had not been there during the morning. A man asked if all the seats had been occupied during the morning. I told him yes. He said he would stand in the back because he did not want to upset anyone by taking his or her seat.

Then I woke up.

Money, Blueberries and Shopping

First, I was in the bathroom of the house where I grew up, about to take a shower. There was a man in there who was supposed to be a boyfriend or husband, but he was breaking up with or divorcing me. He had a large stack of money that he was trying to put somewhere while he ran some errands. He didn't quite trust me. I didn't trust him either and I had a larger stack of cash. I set my stack on the floor behind the toilet & was about to get into the shower. He set his in the doorway. I asked him to move it so I could close the door, but he wouldn't.

Suddenly I had my stack of cash & was running through a very large room that had whit walls. I was headed towards the back, where I had a duffel bag in which to put my money.

Suddenly I was outside and it was night time. There were lots of people around a bonfire. I sat down and someone handed me a large plastic disposable bowl that had in it a homemade fruit yogurt. I started eating some of it. It was vanilla flavored with lots of blueberries and strawberries. I love blueberries so I dug around in the yogurt with my spoon, sometimes eating the strawberries, but mostly going around them for more blueberries. In the meantime, a woman sitting next to me asked me if I should be eating it. My husband/boyfriend who was breaking up with me had made it & what if he poisoned it knowing I'd eat it. I said I had to hope for the best & kept digging for blueberries.

Suddenly I was in a grocery store with a lot of other people from the bonfire. Everyone had their own shopping carts. I pushed mine around looking for specific things. First I went to the produce aisle and got either some fruit or I got vegetables, I'm not even sure which. Someone else from the bonfire was a foreigner & had no idea what to get so I took him around to see if anything looked appealing. He kept asking the prices on things.

Then we went to the refrigerated dairy/butter/cheese section where I was looking for something else specific, but couldn't find.

The rest of the details are really fuzzy and I woke up shortly thereafter.

My Car & Trying To Pee In A Garden

I dreamed that I had just woken up & had to go somewhere in a hurry. I got outside and found several people I know standing around my car. They wanted to go with me to wherever I had to get to. Somehow, my car was locked and they were waiting for me to unlock to get in, yet as I slept, they had managed to rearrange things in my car so that all my passenger seats were free of stuff. My car remote is such that pressing the unlock button once unlocks the driver's door. Pressing it a second time unlocks the rest of the doors. In my dream I pressed the button once, then tried pressing it a second time but JM had tried opening the passenger door at the same time so the rest of the doors did not unlock. I pressed it again, again at the same time JM pulled on the door handle. We were all in a hurry, we were supposed to be following someone who had just driven off. I suddenly got very angry and shouted at everyone. I said, "Now you all listen to me!" I then proceeded to explain how my car remote works. "You are not to go pulling on the door handle until I press the button a second time! DO. YOU. UNDERSTAND?!?"

I looked at everyone all of whom were just staring at me. I realized I should not have gotten so angry and I apologized. I also realized that the person we were trying to follow was getting away. We all finally jumped into the car & I took off.

Then we were on a highway and my car was going way too fast. It became like a roller coaster. Sometimes I get a bird's eye view of my own car and the rest of traffic. It looked like one of those hotwheels or matchbox or whatever car tracks with 3 lanes. I kept mashing on the brakes, but my car would not slow down.

Suddenly I was back at the house in which I grew up. I went out the door carrying a 17 inch TV which was not at all heavy. I set the TV on the porch, sat down, turned it on and proceeded to watch programs. I had to pee really bad. I stepped off the porch and squatted in the front garden next to it. There were people loitering on the sidewalk near the street watching me. Someone walked out of the house and asked me what I was doing. I told him I was trying to pee, but couldn't. He asked me why I didn't go back into the house, to the bathroom. I said I didn't think I had time before I peed my pants. But yet, there I was not able to pee, partially because I still had my sweatpants pulled up & I did not want to pee in them and partially because I really did not want to pee while all those people were looking at me.

Then the dream changed to something else that I have now forgotten in my attempt to remember the details of the other dreams.
