Dream 1: Flea Market Carnival

Mom and/or Dad and I are at a flea market/carnival type place. The flea market part seems to be indoors, and out back there are rides and games. I think it started out with Mom and I stopping in here for some reason. We had been heading to a business to the south. We went up a road that climbed up a hill, and Mom was telling me that we had been there before. But I don’t remember it. She thinks maybe I wasn’t with her when she went there before. We stop in to the business, and while we are there I decide to look around. The store is owned by someone that we used to know. Mom comes with me as I look around. There is an aisle of candy. We keep walking around, and now I think it is Dad that is with me and not Mom. The store is set up so that there are two bays, or wings. We walk down one, and go outside. The carnival is out there. There is a carousel. One of the songs it is playing is “And the Band Played On”. I sing along, but as I start singing the music stops playing.

Dad wants to join a race, I think. We walk around to the back of the building, where you are supposed to be able to sign up for the race. But in order to run, you need special shoes, and they don’t have enough pairs. While we are here, I think Dad realizes that there is the other side to the store. I tell him I’m going to go in and check it out. I go in and look around, but this side seems to be mostly furniture. It’s one of those places with labyrinth-like rooms. I walk around a bit and decide to come back after not seeing much interesting stuff. But I’m a bit concerned I won’t be able to find my way back out. I find a room that I came through...

At some point there is a canal inside the store, I think. On this canal is a sailboat. There are people on this sailboat who seem to be running from someone. It is discovered that they are on this boat, so they sail down the canal for a bit to try to escape. Then they jump out and roll down a hill, I think. There is a scene in which calculations are being made involving how far they roll down the hill and how that relates to how visible they are. At this point, the “people” are also Santa Claus hats, and I’m tossing them down the hill. One of them is about to make it to an area of tall weeds, where they might be able to escape...

At some point, it seems that I was back with my Dad (or someone else) at the race area. We were moving on from the foot race, and we see that there is a dog race taking place. It is all puppies, I think. My friend M—is officiating.

It seems like there were gravestones, or monuments of some sort inside the store (unless this was a different dream). There is something about a ring on a string. Some kids are doing something with this. Anyway, we follow the string, and it goes down through a register vent. It apparently leads to this place with gravestones (or so my notes say). My brother and I are doing something with these, I think. There is something about how “everyone takes care of their own pet”. There are pets associated with the gravestones, suggesting that there is more to these monuments than meets the eye. I get down on my hands and knees and start investigating...




Fragment 1: Sewage

Something about sewage being drained into a pond down a hill a little bit from a house. This is against a regulation or something, and they have to stop draining the sewage there. People are unhappy about this, but I point out that draining raw sewage into a pond is unhealthy. I mention that it might have been better if it were a creek with flowing water.

Looking for tea, or plants to use for tea. This might have been on the hillside above the pond where the sewage was being drained.

Fragment 2: A Bit Lost

Walking back to my grandparents’ former house from somewhere. It’s one of those situations where I am far away but on foot for some reason. I also don’t seem to know how to get back. But I have a GPS, and I bring up the map. I look for a way to get to a major road. At some point I’m driving again. I think there are people supposed to be following me. I pull over and wait for them to catch up, but they don’t. I get annoyed, thinking it was discourteous of them. Then I’m not sure if they were behind me or in front of me.

Fragment 2: Kid and Dog

There is a knock at the door. I look out, and there is a kid standing there. I think his mother is standing behind him. When I open the door, he says something like “can you please watch your dog more carefully?” It is explained that a dog apparently bit him, or something. He thinks it was our dog. He points out our dog. As we talk, I get the idea that he was messing with the dog, and the dog either defended itself or was playing. I get annoyed with the kid’s attitude and say something about how people who mess with other people’s dogs deserve to be bit. I even say something like “they even deserve to be put into the hospital”!

Fragment 3: Looking for a Pencil Sharpener

In the lab. I need a pencil to write something down, but my pencil is dull. I go to the lab next door to see if they have a pencil sharpener. They do indeed, but while I’m there I realize that I have one in my pocket.

Fragment 4: Final Episodes

I decide to watch the last two episodes of Andromeda (which might also be Blakes 7 in this dream). The final episodes seem to go back to an original cast that was in the pilot episode. I might be watching this on a huge screen

Fragment 5: Holograms

Someone is showing off these sheets of plastic that have those holograms on them – the ones where as you tilt the surface you see a different picture. This one is fancy, in that you see more than two pictures as you tilt the surface.
