Business School

I needed to get a form or something for a business I had. It was not much of a business yet, but I had a license and I was trying to protect it.

I drove somewhere, following someone, and not really knowing where I was going. I ended up in a class with high-school students. When it was time for class to let out, I tried to put all my stuff away and just get my business license, but there was a lot of crap on my desk and I couldn't find my license.

There were tiny pencils, some sharpened at both ends. Someone thought tiny pencils were neat; they needed to be thrown out. I picked them up and put them in a reservoir attached to the desk.

I found a book with papers in it as book marks. I looked at each paper to make sure I could throw them away. None of them had anything on them, so I threw them away. I inspected the book to see if it was important--it said, "Sotobirds" or something. It was inspired by what I'm studying these days, "phytochemicals." I have a packet in my truck IWL with that title.

My friend left the class and I got nervous because I didn't know how to get back where I was going. Then the teacher came in and sat down with me. I told her I didn't think I would graduate and she got concerned. I thought it was funny she didn't realize I'd only attended the class today and one other occasion (false memory). I quickly told her I was joking, and explained my purpose for being in the class.

I eventually left and indeed did not know where I was going.

I forgot the rest of the dream.

Business/nature

I was driving to someones house iKnoW. I didn't want her to think I liked her, which I did, but I was in the area, and was just going to go by her house because something near her was nice to see.

I decided I better not go by and see it though. I continued to drive on a hilly street. I saw Jim Rockford I think. He was on a mechanical device like a cherry picker that held three people on poles that went out in different directions. The center would rotate and all three people would move up or down as though they were on a Farris wheel. One person would make a hand signal or whistle or something, and a guy in the control seat would turn the entire unit, and all three guys would start going around.

Jim didn't like the job because the hours were far and few between, but then he got a check for $50, 000 and decided that he could take the few hours because the money was so good.

I ended up in a shop. A boss figure was looking at some paperwork. Two guys had filled out their business licenses correctly, but mine was wrong. I asked what was wrong and he showed me the paper. He then asked me to name two adults. I named the first and he said that was wrong and that I didn't understand. He was going to explain it to me.

I went outside and told someone what was happening. The boss wanted me back in and thought I was talking about him. He then asked me surprised if I really had an avocado plant growing at home. I told him I did, but it was very small and would never bear fruit. He was very interested, but didn't quite believe it.

We ended up talking about the soil in a lime tree I have. I showed him how rich it was and told him the soil was from my compost heap. He was impressed that I had such nice soil. I told him that I would have a lot more soon since I've been building it up again.

The man took a step back and almost stepped on a huge worm. I looked at the worm a couple times and it turned into a new clutch of baby brown snakes. I said, "Watch this."

I started scooping them up all at once. Then I started picking up one at a time to get the rest in my hands. I knew they wouldn't bite me because they don't bite IWL. I then came to a couple different king snakes and a copperhead. They were small also, but I recognized them. I picked up the king snakes, then the copperhead struck at me. I pulled away quickly and then showed the man and other people all the snakes I had.

The End

Toboggan

I was watching 5 or 6 people go down a snowy or icy hill. I was viewing it as though I were going backwards, but it was more like a movie. I or a DC commented that two of the people on one toboggan were very small people.

Then I was going down the hill with them. I was listening to a song that I've only heard one or two times IWL. I would call it speed metal. I think it's funny that my mind recalled a song that I can't remember now that I'm awake.

Anyway, I was going about 50 miles per hour. It was very fast, and there were cars around. I started getting scared, but the music was awesome and I tried to feel like I would have when I was younger and more likely to get into such a position anyway--brave!

I relaxed a little, but I was going to hit a car. Then I found that there was someone who would wait until the last second and then hit any car that someone was going to hit. This person who hit them on purpose would knock them clean out of our way like on Sonic the Hedge Hog. It would be physically impossible in waking life, but it would clear the street for the tobogganers.

Now that I log this dream, this may have been induced by an accident that I saw yesterday. I heard a loud crash and then a red car spinning out of control. It got slammed!

In my dream, the guy cleared the way for me two times. I watched the cars clear my view in two frames. The car would be turned in another position instantly, then it was gone.

Almost with J-Lo

I was ready to do her. I asked if I could do her or something and she said "It's your penis, not mine."

I stroked it a couple times and as I was ready, the dream ended. Yes, disappointing.

False Arrest

I was in a room. Someone from AstralSoft I think, was in another room. We were being held against our will. My brother was one of the people keeping me in the room I think.

The floor had an inch of water, and there were snakes on the ground and on the walls. That didn't really bother me because I like snakes, but the entire scene was discomforting.

Snakes would fall from the wall from time to time and pop on the ground and die. Then there was a snake with different segments. I had a false memory of this snake as also being harmless. I started to pet it and maybe pop it by section.

Someone asked what I thought. I said, "False arrest is what I call it!" From there, I started getting more freedom. I was talking to someone explaining the situation. The floor became dry, and eventually I was out of the room.

The other guy was going to start getting more freedom.

I'm not Pretty

A girl was telling me she wasn't pretty. She had leaves in her hair as part of her attire. I told her to look at a Pin Oak leaf in her hair. I pulled it out and showed it to her. It was a dead leaf. I told her it was because the leaf was dead, not because she wasn't pretty.
