memorable

I am out to dinner with my wife. We are at a very nice restaurant and we are enjoying ourselves. Writing this now, I have lost a lot of the details of my dream, yet I remember what was so interesting about this particular dream. After paying our bill, we go outside and I find that our car has been towed. The anger consumed me, I have been in this position twice in my life and it is a very unpleasant thing to experience. I frantically run around the building to see if I simply forgot where we parked (another thing that has happened to me in waking life), yet the car is nowhere to be found. The emotions are overwhelming, I start to shake. Having to deal with the car being towed after such a nice meal is criminal. I feel the anger pass, slowly, then I wake.

A very common dream sign of mine is the mushroom. Whether it is growing in an unusual quantity or off the branches of trees like leaves, I must learn to recognize this oddity as a dream sign inside the dream. Last night I dreamed that I was walking on the side of a river, the place looks familiar but is a little different. I think I have visited this spot previously in another dream. It was looking at the various types of mushrooms growing there, all of them not really out of the ordinary. Then I come across a little patch of mushrooms growing out of the fork of a tree. They were the most vibrant shade of red I have ever seen and gave off a slight glow. Looking closer at them, I see that there are small crystals growing on the caps and are giving off a low, barely audible, humming sound. As I sat there looking at these mushrooms, I hear a growl beyond the tree line. Suddenly, a troll-like creature bursts from the undergrowth and starts charging towards me. I fall backwards, abruptly waking up with a dull ache in my head.

Maybe they were the troll's special prize and I was encroaching upon his territory? I cannot make any sense out of it apart from that. What does this dream tell me? I don't think I will ever know, but that isn't too bad of a thing.
