Pop's Dream Journal

This is a dream I had while taking a nap during the day...

I find myself driving up this impossibly steep road, following behind a large truck or SUV. There are houses on the left side of the road and a chain link fence runs along the right side - there is no shoulder. Just as we get to the top of the hill, a red truck comes from the opposite direction. The driver of the red truck pulls up right next to the chain link fence and stops, forcing the vehicle in front of me to stop and/or veer left to pass him. But the vehicle hesitates, forcing me to stop as well. But I'm still on the steep incline and worried about rolling backwards.

The vehicle in front of me finally continues on, but when I try to drive forward, my vehicle stalls. I try to proceed forward but keep having to wait because vehicles keep passing me from behind.

I'm riding in a truck (bus?) with a bunch of guys I work with. We're coming back from some trip, I think, because we're all being driven home. I'm laying on my back looking up, and see a metal frame with some lights on it. At first I think we're pulling into a gas station or convenience store. But then I realize the lights are red and green traffic lights (no yellow lights for some reason) and that we're waiting to make a left turn.

Just as I'm wondering what order they'll drop us off in, (ie, does the driver know where we live?) my crew chief from work motions to the driver that HE wants to drive because it's HIS truck. Rather than pull over, the driver simply stands up while holding the steering wheel steady so my CC can slip into the driver's seat. (The truck seems to be on cruise control or something.)

Date of dream: 11-24-2010

I find myself in a waiting room somewhere with about 7 or 8 women I don't know. There's a TV on and I'm bored and want to change the channel, but 2 or 3 of the women are watching a soap opera.One of them can't take her eyes off the screen and is explaining what's happening to a couple of the others.

The person I'm waiting for arrives (wife/daughter?) just as another woman and her children (4 or 5 of them) are about to enter the room from outside. Several of the women in the room are pointing at the woman and making bad comments about her, which I find rude. I tell the person I'm with that it's time for us to leave because, although I know the woman coming in is all right, her children are a pain in the rear because nobody watches them and they just run around doing whatever they want.

I seem to be dressed in some kind of military uniform and put a heavy coat on, but then take it off because I remember that it's not that cold outside.
