dream catcher 1

just for something to know about me - i have weird dreams and sometimes my ex-roomie and i like to look up the symbols in my dreams and see what they have to say.  we don't put a lot of stock in what it has to say, but sometimes it surprises us.  so i thought i would share with you the latest dream.  let me know what you think.

---

i was driving my car what seemed to be Rte 15 in between Albion and Fairfield and in the distance in front of me i see a tornado and as i am looking, all of the sudden i notice a tornado that is clear and i get caught up in it.  i'm in the car, but in the passenger seat when it lifts up in tornado and i expect to be tossed around inside and just waiting to die cuz i figure - i'm in a tornado, i'm going to die, but i'm never tossed around, even though outside the car there is a lot of damage being done - and i grab my coat and put it over me b/c i don't want to get hurt from any glass that might fly in -- when it is all done, it is evening and i'm in a field next to a friend's house - i go inside and i think we might have called someone, but anyway my dad comes and i think i just rehashed the story of i saw a tornado and then all of sudden i was caught up in one that was clear and in middle of road, and my dad says something to the effect of people not realizing what tornadoes are like or driving thru tornadoes.  i saw the car and it was all dented and smashed on the outside and i remember thinking 2 things:  1) How did I survive? and 2) i know this is a dream and that my car is actually okay.  (side note - this is the 2nd night in a row i have dreamt of tornadoes - quite possibly the 3rd)

 

then i am roaming streets of some town and i was asleep in some building but a clatter woke me up and i didn't want ppl to know i was sleeping there so i got up and walked around and came to a church that housed a school and rec center of sorts.  i guess i had slept there too and it was more comfortable and it was bigger so i wouldn't be interupted when sleeping there and then i was inside the church, in a basketball court area, and Jim and Pam were there, w/ a basketball team that Jim was coaching - Pam was pregnant and playing and i think it was an all women's team - but anyway, there were 3 plays they were going over.  I don't remember if there was actually a basketball or not, but I'm pretty sure that Pam was pushing a stroller up and down - she did it to illustrate one of the plays.  Jim wrote down the plays that needed to be changed and one was Y, the other was a box w/ an X in it, and that was the play that Pam was illustrating w/ the stroller - they called it something like Up slant and Down slant - don't remember exactly, but something like that.  I don't remember if I saw the third play or not, but I don't know it.  And i'm pretty sure I was in anticipation of everyone leaving so that i could go to a place inside and sleep and i was comforted by that.

 

then i am at our neighbor's house - up on the hill from where my parents live - and we are having a dinner/bazaar thing - seems like everyone i know or have met was there or coming.  i saw mary and martin fly by in a blue mercury car and they turned around in my parent's driveway then drove right past the place - i somehow instinctively knew they had to go home b/c they forgot something.  my mom asked if a certain lady was going to be there, and i knew she was referring to a certain lady patient from Dr. McIntosh's practice and i said - no, she isn't doing well - but never revealed that she was a patient - then the buying and stuff began.  to help the chaos, i started a line and began selling the dinner tix.  there seemed to be separate tix for each thing we did and one fellow in line for dinner tix said he had event tix and didn't that include the dinner? it didn't so he was upset that he had to buy others.  i think they were $6 each and an older man came over to purchase some, but he tried to trick me into the amount he owed or was testing me or something to that effect - anyway, the cost ended up being $36 or $32 - but one of those #s and we also had little trinkets for sale and he wanted to buy the fence and he asked when he purchased it if he could take it right away and put it in his truck and i said he could.

 

the last part of my dream, there was a white vapor that effected somebody - i think it was my athlete who died last year - anyway, we took him to the hospital, but the doctors couldn't save him and Erin from the office was there and a guy was with her, but i don't know who it was - but there was a canister or something of a tub that was dropped in the room where the dead person was, along w/ hospital staff and Erin and the guy - and white vapor escaped from it when it dropped and they were exposed - the doors closed - i was looking on from other side and their faces were all like - what do we do - and then i woke up.
