Somewhere Over The Rainbow

I'm in a home, exploring different rooms and levels, the home is a mansion, I find a bathroom but it's also a staircase, I try to go to the bathroom on the stairs, which are also a toilet, I'm exposed, anyone could come by....

I'm in a restaurant or some kind of public space, I'm in conflict with a woman, she's being aggressive, physical, she's behind the order counter and has rocks in her hands and I think she's going to throw them at me, I'm down on the ground at some point, she's a brunette...

We're outside now, I say something to her that I think will have an impact on her, make her realize how she's behaving and that's it not ok, I'm criticizing her but I think she understands that it's for her own good...we're sitting on the ground outside of the restaurant, she has light red hair now, it's thin and tied back in a small bun, I look at my reflection in the glass of the doors beside us, my hair looks like it has been done, I look pretty, I ask her how old she is, she smirks and says "2004"...I take this to mean she graduated in 2004 and calculate that she is 27 years old. She says she knows "Charles" and "Joseph" ....but Joseph doesn't like her....

I'm with my dad in Edmonton, I have to get home, Im trying to figure out if he'll drive me back to Vancouver, he says he can only take me so far but we can't go tonight if my mom can't pick me up, I imagine I can take a cab where he drops me off from and tell him it's ok.

Seeing some patterns - I've dreamt about going to the washroom before, in weird locations, where I'm exposed. Also the dream about my dad, being in Edmonton and wanting to get back home, needing to get back home, not knowing how I'll get back or if I have enough money, seems to be a theme.

I'm pretty sure the restaurant scenario with the woman has something to do with my mom.

It's been a year and a half since I last recorded a dream?? Jeez....ok, here goes, fuzzy on the details but there are bits and pieces and I have to start somewhere:

Andrew's doing something suspicious, I follow him around, partly on purpose, partly by accident, I'm on the skytrain and we end up in the same place and then I just watch what he's doing, I see him eating something, pudding or some other kind of dessert to be eaten with a spoon, he's sitting on the right side of some kind of padded bench, in a mall, the "bad guy" is on the other side...he's part of something illegal, something bad, some kind of conspiracy....I walk by and don't let him see me, he might have though...

Still in the mall I think, I'm looking at purses, I already have a brown one and a black one, and I want a grey one, should I be spending money? I shouldn't...

Andrew changed the trash basket in the bathroom to one I don't like, I go looking for the one we normally use so that I can put it back, I'm pretty distraught about the whole thing...

Wow. Fascinating stuff.

I feel like there's more, some kind of 'end of the world' scenario happening, aliens and war and being chased, running around the city, escaping....I can almost see it, but not really...
