I started out driving from work toward a bar. I was going to meet a man there I know a bit from work, and don't really know and don't really like on some kind of date or happy hour. But I wanted to call it off, and say another woman would attend in my stead (this is a woman I do not know in real life). I did not know the direction to this bar but was driving there any way, though I did not know where I was going. I was desperately trying to use my phone to either get directions to this bar or to call this man to call it off, confused which.

In mid dream, my husband showed up and he was now in the driver's seat, and he was telling me that I would not be allowed to use my phone or iPad any more because he needed all our data plan for himself. And while I thought this was harsh, I accepted that I deserved it. I had caused the loss of the election - it was all my fault - I felt profound guilt. In the middle of this discussion though where my husband is saying how I lost all my phone privileges, I interrupt him to say that I now have to use my phone to either look up directions to the bar or to call the man I was going to meet to tell him that I am not coming but another woman is coming instead.

Side note: I found the references to my two dreams from June 6th in this dream fascinating. It's like this dream is a continuation and spin off of those dreams:

fragment 1: Witness against software working

Fragment 2: Upside down trashcan - problem trash would all fall out on floor.

Fragment 3: Purpose of studies in higher education to exclude students who are not good enough to know. Frogs make ribbet sound, but that could not be what differentiates frogs at university because it is too easy.

In this nightmare came home to discover that our home had been broken into and anything of value stolen or trashed. Our Wii for example was gone, the most decent of the boys toys, any valuables we might have, all gone. Our van that had been I. The driveway was trashed, anything inside it stolen, and the licence plates stolen too.

Boy am I glad that was just a dream.

Since I have no dream recall: this morning I feel tired, but in an ok mood.

In this dream I had made the mistake of accepting a job. It became clear that recently they had layoffs. There were two parts to the team: most team members were statisticians, and a few of us including me were parts inventory people. I realized that most team members in both parts resented me, and soon realized why. The layoffs had been of the parts inventory people, and then I was hired instead because I was cheaper, but I knew less and could not replace former team mates for many reasons. I quit the job. Told the boss, and she agreed it was a wise decision. She also said that as long as I could not talk the language of statistics the statisticians would not have respected me, but if I used a statistics term that's when the trouble would really start. I told her that I was just giving her an informal heads up, and not to tell anyone else until I gave her a formal written notice letter.

Fragment: older son's after school care sent us paperwork about what is inappropriate.

Dreamed of charts (work related).

June 13
Bed around 10:30

Fragment on hoodies as sign of protest in a school

Fragment2: In a company: a manager known for disrespect of coworker who is his ex, on how do you treat others

Fragment 3? I remember having a vivid memory of another fragment at some point, but now gone

Woke up around 6am thinking about work.

I had a dream about politics in a country whe there is both democracy and a queen or king, but country unspecified.

Argh! I really should watch out for politics as a dream sign. I kind of knew that already, but this confirms it. Way more politics in my dreams than in my waking life.

June 11
10:30-6:00

Fragment 1: Dreamed of how to pick off rice that has spilled in bathtub, and how picking it one grain at a time may be the recommended method.

Fragment 2: Asked my mom to being lots of winter clothing next time she comes to visit. She was reluctant. I offered to ship it back to her if only she brings it. (She is coming in the summer next. And why would I care which of her clothes she brings?

Fragment 3: there was a new favorite vacation spot we discovered. Also in this dream there was something about the staff who clean the hotel room doing something unusual - don't remember what. Also there was a vacation where my husband had to go alone with our kids, and I had to work.

The only thing I remember is upon waking up thinking of a previous day memory of seeing a friend of my son's. Did I dream of her? I don't remember.

I think I dreamed of searching for a new home, but the memory is vague. I know there was a list, and I added a few unusual choices.

To bed at 11pm, Woke up around 5:50am

In this dream I was in an elevator. The door opened and an attractive thin, tall, blond, young caucasian woman stepped in. I asked her "Going Up?" She: "Does not matter." And she stepped to the side of the elevator where there was a spacious card table and several chairs lined up, and she started shuffling a deck of cards, setting up for a poker game. This did not phase me - I was not questioning things yet. Apparently my mind has no problem with poker games in the elevator.

Then I looked at the elevator buttons to make sure my floor was pressed. The floor I wanted was 6, which is where my office is at in reall life. The woman had pressed 10 (though she had stated it did not matter, and clearly intended to just stay in the elevator to play poker).

Suddenly I noticed that the elevator button numbers were out of order. I decided to do a reality check, to look away and look back and see if the numbers change. Out of some reason the reality check was not working properly, but I thought to myself, "Skrew that, I don't need a reality check to confirm this is a dream. I know this is a dream." When I thought that, the numbers rearranged themselves (though I have a sense they were still out of order, but in a different way). The dream started fading. The vividness was low, and I did not have the presence of mind to fight it, to stabilize.

When I woke up, I tried falling right back to sleep in a DEILD, but was not successful, and I remembered several dreams from earlier that night, and had an urge to write them down - I had not written them down yet. I remembered to reality check only after I wrote them down, but yes, I am awake.

Earlier Dream 1: Learning Hebrew - under 21 need an escort In this dream I was at the Jewish Community Center, and I was supposed to learn the phrase in Hebrew that I am under 21 and thus need an escort into the building. Dream did not explain why I needed to learn this phrase though I am not under 21, 20 year olds don't need escorts, and the people at the JCC understand English of course. But I did not question any of that. In my dream the phrase was supposedly in Hebrew, but in hindsight it was more like Spanish, and I understood most of it. However, out of some reason I said "This is too hard for me. Luckily my learning this phrase is just optional." My older son was with me, while I was learning this phrase. We were in the lobby of the JCC. My older son was going to go back to his school, and someone at the JCC reminded him to bring back a bottled drink for his teacher from the cafeteria, which in my dream was something he regularly did.

Earlier Dream 2: Room Size Aquarium, Fish with Issues, Running out of Water In this dream I was looking at our aquarium which in the dream was room sized (in reality it is 29 gallons). I noticed that some fish were made out of paper but swimming, some had their tails bitten off, and some were mostly eaten, but all were still swimming. I was concerned about a guppy with tail bitten off because I knew that that guppy had been ok the previous day (I actually have this guppy and he is ok). I went around the corner to another ventage point on the room sized aquarium, and there the aquarium was almost out of water. I realized it was my responsibility to refill it somehow.

Earlier Dream 3: Failed to Attend Work Paid Training While Out of Town In this dream I was out of town for three one day long IT courses, a training that had been paid for by my work, and somehow I managed to fail to attend any of the courses. I was worried about that, because I did not want to waste my company's money and they had paid for the training. I wondered whether I could make up the courses at m\home, and pretend to my company that I had taken them while out of town.

To bed 10:00
5:50 truthfulness? Car? Upon waking up I actually remembered a coherent fragment, but when I moved, poof. I also thought of a former coworker upon awaking, was he in a dream?

After phenomenal night yesterday, it's a bit disappointing to not only not remember my dreams but also not wake well rested either, so not a good night.
