A couple of things I remember from a much larger dream.

I'm in a factory. The floor is wooden and it's dark inside with little light coming in from outside. People are at work benches working on shoes? or some type of product with materials. Why I'm here isn't exactly clear, but I think I'm working part time or visiting. As I walk by a support beam, I see lying down next to it is a dead cat. It is white but has bloody streak marks going across it. I assume it has been run over by the carts that carry the materials. Either people don't notice it or they are ignoring it.

I also remember something about logs shaped like cones darting through the air like debris.

This fragment is from a larger dream but I can only remember this:

I'm in a big movie house waiting to see the Tom Cruise film "Valkyrie." I'm with some people and I'm ducking down in my seat so they can't see the very wiry, course hair on my legs. I take a razor and begin shaving it off and it comes off quite easily. I think that now I can go to my water aerobics class with confidence.

I'm walking up a road with the student I currently work with at a high school. A tractor trailer is coming down the road and its misting, almost like a light freezing rain. My student is lazily walking and grinning to himself and I pull him out of the path of the truck.

Then we end up at a picnic, at least it looks like one. Now my student is gone and there are former co-workers here. One man whom I worked with from 1997--2003 is there and he has one of those greeting cards that "talks." He shows me the cover and says it's a "dangerous chicken." It's actually a pic of Big Bird. He hands it to me and tells me to deliver it to the picnic table where another former co-worker of mine from a longer time ago is sitting with a man and a little girl (I assume its her daughter).

I hand her the card and she opens it and it says in a low male voice "I get naked. I build the world." Someone nearby practicing his golf swing says "I don't get it." I say that I will take the card back to find out what it means. The little girl, who is wearing a pink frilly dress, hugs my waist and holds on while I walk back to the man with the card.

I'm outside in a field and it's nighttime. I'm looking up at the moon when I see an orange glow forming above it. I holler to my co-worker who is there, Mrs. Chamberlain, "Look!" The orange glow becomes a hologram of a tv screen that seems to take up 1/4 of the sky and it displays an image of SpongeBob SquarePants surrounded by a black and white checkerboard pattern and red, black, and white squares. I race from the field feeling freaked out and run into a building with computers and the student I work one-on-one with is sitting at a desk laughing. I assume he had something to do with it.

In one part of the dream (of a much larger one that most of it I've forgotten) I'm in a wheel chair pushing myself up by a rail up a very steep hill. The ground is soft dirt with rocks, making it even more challenging. The further up I push, the more anxious of falling I become. I'm in a line with several other people--all on foot--climbing up to a building entrance to see (?) a healer of some kind. The scene switches before I get to the top where the entrance is.

Now I'm in a hotel with wide hallways and red carpeting. I'm with a man who is caucasian, has shoulder length brown hair, and wearing a brown colored suit. There is a love connection between us, but to what degree I'm not sure. He enters an elevator and I follow, having to pry the door open before it closes. I get in and it's wide, about the size of an office but no furnishings. The door closes and no one else is here but us. I hug and kiss him and he puts his arms around me, but his embrace and kiss are stiff, like he's distant from me or preoccupied in his mind. The door opens and we exit to the next floor.

I'm approaching a ride called The Twister. I search for a seat that's reinforced because I'm getting on it with my niece and want to make sure I sit on the outside because the centrifugal force, when the ride is in full motion, would be a crushing experience to a child of 8.

I get into the seat and wonder where the bar to hold us in is. Then I see my niece get on another seat and I ask her why and she says it's because this one (hers) has a chain to hold us in.

I start to get off that seat to get to the other one when the ride starts moving.

I'm with a group of people and a woman has given birth. The "baby" resembles a Mogwai from Gremlins. It flies across the room and lands in my arms. It looks sad and I reassure it "You can fly. You have the gift of flight."

I'm in a field and I'm wandering around and I enter a huge barn type structure, but without the hay or animals. The place is pretty empty except to Native American guards standing on each end. I can't get out through the long doors and the windows are two small and far up. There are potted flower plants on the sills. I see a door and ask "Can I exit through this?" Yes, one nods a reply.

I walk out into the feild where a baseball game is happening. I walk passed and into a house. The living room is wide with sparse furnishings and pictures on the walls with frames. A group of people are playing croquet and I take a yellow mallet and hit the ball and it swings up to a picture and swirls around the frame and comes back and hits me just below my left eye. I wake up.

I'm in a locker room/shower and the student I work with has a hole in the back of his head. It's a surgical incision where a plug-in goes, but what it's for I'm not sure. He wears a hair piece over it and he gets under the water, fully clothed, and the hair piece falls off, exposing the plug in in the back of his head. I wait has he turns off the water and steps out of the shower thing.

Then we are in the school portion, and it is set up like a stage. I see a lounge area in the middle of the stage and staircases going into rooms but the rooms are not visible, just the doors. Now, my student is gone and is replaced with Senator and presidential candidate Barack Obama. He comes out of one door and hurries down a staircase and up another. I shout out, "Let me know when you need some help!" He shouts back "I will" and exits through the other door.

I'm traveling in a vehicle, who with I'm not sure but I'm driving. We are traveling up a road where we see a man like a military guard holding two people down on their knees and hands tied behind them. The guard and prisoners are Asian. As we approach and slowly drive by and around them, we see that the male prisoner's head is slumped over and he appears unconscious. The woman is slowly being strangled by a cloth belt that may have come from her dress. Her neck is being pulled and squeezed and she looks almost dead as her body is being pulled backwards. I feel horrified as we go passed. There's a puddle of what looks like oil underneath them. I wake up anxious.

I'm laying in bed when a young man with long brown hair appears over me. He says something about wanting my soul. I kick my leg out to his chest and yell for him to leave.

Then I'm looking outside and it's nighttime. The house I'm in is similar to one I've been in before in dreams and it was also nighttime. This time I see several people out walking in the woods. The trees are sparse enough so the people are not concealed and the moonlight is bright enough to see their clothing. They are dressed puritanical, with girls and women in long dresses and braids and men in shirts, ties, and slacks. They are singing hymns. I'm freaked out by the spectacle. It's like we are being invaded by a cult. I back away from the window in order not to be seen or noticed. .

Too late. A man comes to the door and starts proselytizing. He opens the door and starts to come in when I shove him back out and yell "Get to fuck outta here!"

I remember a couple of parts from two different dreams. One was from last night, and one from the night before.

I've been using my mother's car this past week because I'm getting body work done on my car. In the dream, I finally get my car back and the doors look like metal that's been stripped of its paint and has dings and dents. I exclaim "This looks like crap!" In reality, I'm still waiting for my car.

Last night, I was worrying about how tired I've been for the last few days. In the dream I'm thinking that I'm low on iron and I'm eating a iron filled blood substance that's thick and I'm eating it with a fork and it tastes a lot like ketchup.

I'm traveling down the road with my mother and it's nighttime. There are flashing lights in the sky moving around like a disco ball. They form a pattern in the night sky like Saturn.

Then we are in a round dome house and the lights are swirling around the walls and we are hugging each other tight because we're scared. The lights then form a pattern on the wall like Venus De Milo and other ancient sculptures and paintings.

I'm working in a factory that's a big room with a machine like a washing machine that clothes are put in after being sewn. At one point, I go up the line and everything is wet. The line has stopped and the plumbing is backing up. I wait and decide to take a nap. Now it's nighttime and my sister is here and we start talking and I notice that the entire assembly line, including the washing machine and work stations, are gone. I yell, "Everything's gone. It must have happened while I was asleep!"

Then we are driving in a car and my sister tells me that people have bought the property and decided to do other things with it. We stop and watch men dig holes and fill them up with gravel and bricks. Workers from the plant intimidate them and try to dig up the holes again. I walk up to a big rock with engravings on it that list "Traitors." The traitors are companies like Papst and Budweister. "These companies are no longer in the U.S." a man I'm standing here with tells me. He says they are taking their jobs overseas. I ask him where he used to work and he tells me "Dunkin' Donuts." Another man shows up and the first one says to me "I met him in jail" and they both laugh. I ask "What's going to happen to all these people now?" about the ones who have lost their jobs. That's where the dream ends.

9-1-08 Labor Day Holiday in America!

I'm sitting in a chair in a room next to a public area, what it is I'm not sure. It could be a kitchen or diner. Anyway, I'm sitting here with Charlie Sheen and in walks his brother Emilio Estevez who tells me he's going to run for president. He says he can turn this country around back on the right track and he needs my help. I tell him I will help him get elected.

He walks out and Charlie tells me that I don't really want to help him because he'd be a lousy president. I tell him I disagree because I can spot a good leader by their confidence and Emilio has lots of that. Charlie grinned and said not to be fooled.

that's all I remember of a larger dream.
