Former coworker at funeral, generalizing in journal
My mother in law was telling me about the funeral of a grandfather of a kid we knew in this dream. She attended the funeral out of state. As she mentioned who was there, I noticed the name of a former coworker of mine.

I looked for the personal email address of this former coworker. At first could not find it, but then I found it and contacted him to tell him that my mother in law met him at that funeral.

Then it was as if I wrote this incident down in a journal. On one page I wrote the specifics of what happened, but on another page generalized from the specifics. I was telling someone else that this generalizing was important.

Fragment about forgotten purse
I forgot my purse in someone else's car. Luckily when I remembered it, this someone else also happened to be in the parking lot, so I could retrieve it.

Shushed and unnoticed

I went to talk to someone I do not know in real life at the office, but they shushed me, didn't want me to talk to him. In the dream I was not upset about that even though I did not understand why I had been shushed.

I went to the next office where a major boss (also not someone from real life) was to chat to him instead. He wanted to know where my desk was, since he did not know. I pointed out that my desk was right outside of his office that he could see it whenever he left his door open and looked out. He said that he had then seen it of course, but he just had not realized that was me.

Failed WBTB attempt 4:15 To 5:15

My husband and I and our sons were house searching. Most of the homes we looked at were ones that we had already seen in a previous home search, or so I thought in the dream (they did not actually look familiar). There was one home which we decided to visit in the last moment, we knew they close the open house at 5pm, and it was 10 minutes before - during this part, I remember another relative was with us to, one of our mothers or stepmothers, but I do not remember which. Also the homes we looked at were mostly old homes, in not the best of conditions but with lots of potential. In one home a man showed us some stuff that looked like a large brown sponge with some green patches on top, and he asked if we knew what it was - we did not - it turned out that this was wheat flooring material with green peanut butter, and it was apparently what was inside or under the hardwood floor. I remember we found a house we wanted to buy, and I remember telling my son that he would need to change schools and after school care - he took it so well, that I thought he was not understanding what it really meant, most likely not seeing his current friends again. The house we decided on was huge, and it was right next to the coast overlooking the sea/ocean. Our future home may have actually been the last minute visit house and maybe even the one with green peanut butter wheat floors.

This dream was followed by a failed WBTB attempt. Staid up about 20 minutes during which time was on DV mostly but kept thinking how tired I am and that I need more sleep and that I shall dream and remember to realize I am dreaming. Then went back to bed but could not fall asleep for longer than I wished, and once I did drift off to sleep, I became unaware and have no dream recall from that.

Once again no recall, and this time I got excuses. I am a bit worried about the timing of the competition and this albeit fairly short dry spell of mine, but perhaps the competition is exactly what I need now to break out of this.

No recall today, but it was a restful night. I woke up feeling refreshed and well.

To bed around 10:15pm
Wake a bit before 6am
Some fragment about fruit?
Another fragment about dream?
Not sure though. Had more recalled as I lay there motionless but it disappeared.

While I do not recall any dreams from last night, but no headache this morning and a good mood, feeling well grounded. So whatever dreams I had, I deduce they were most likely positive.

I know I kind of woke up in the middle of the night. It was something conceptual, seemed more like an NREM thoughts memory than like REM dream, and to confirm that it was probably NREM, I was too groggy to follow through with writing it down. I remember I tried though: I remember lying there and trying to recall, and I had some of the concepts in my mind, I think the subject was dreams, but don't recall. Anyway, I never managed to actually write the concepts down, and I suspect even if I had given how groggy I was, they probably would have made little sense in the morning.

In the morning I woke up with a sinus headache second morning in a row, and no dream recall, but at least non-groggy.

No recall for tonight, no attempt at recall, and no excuse.

In this dream I had all the parts to build a car from scratch only it was not really a car, it stood for something else, and I think I knew that on some level even in the dream. I rember that I was not in a hurry to put it together, and in the end it was mostly parts still, but I had a better understanding of these parts. I wish I remembered more, I know there was more to it. Oh, I also recall that some people approach the problem backward, but that is also a valid approach.

To bed 10:30pm
Woke up 6:00am

I remember that I had these dreams or some of them anyway earlier in the night and did not write it down, now I remember bits and pieces.

Fragment 1: i wrote something about integrity, and was told it was off topic. I argued back that integrity was needed for this topic, and was told they would think about that.

Fragment 2: I was a college student and my waking life boss was my advisor/prof. There was something I wanted to get done before class, something administrative, and he objected, and said that coming to class on or before time was essential and the administrative thing could wait.

Fragment 3: My real life friend had some sort of major family event, and I took photos and needed to get them photocopied in color. Was told that I could get this done in someone's office who had a color printer/copier, but I would have to ask them whether it was ok to copy these photos.

Fragment 4: I don't recall much except that a former friend whom I do not have much interaction with anymore was in this dream. We were in some sort of big hall. There was a phone booth there or public pay phone. It rang. This friend, she went to answer it. It turned out my husband who was standing next to me not far from this phone was calling this former friend of ours (more of mine but also someone he had interacted), so now he was calling from his cell phone to this public phone. She had to pass us to go answer the phone. I think she began to suspect something even before she answered the phone. As soon as she answered it of course she knew that he was calling from a few steps away. He thought it was a good joke, and I agreed. But this friend, she seemed more annoyed than amused, I think.

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

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

Dreamed of charts (work related).

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.
