* The Sandman's Dream Journal o/***

A bumble bee landed on my forehead. I was afraid it would sting me, but I started trying to videotape myself with the bee on my head instead of trying to get it off.

Eventually I got a stick to give to someone to help me get it off.

I had a lover. She was a real beauty. I kissed her on the mouth a little, but it wasn't vivid.

I ended up at the airport with some friends and this woman. I got out and saw my dad there. I felt I needed to explain why I was with this other woman, but it never happened.

Then I was in some room with a bunch of friends (no faces). My new woman became a wild, tribal black woman. She started doing a wild dance. She got a 2 X 4 and started banging it into her groin. This had to do with her being "beautiful," so her dance was sexual. I was stunned. Later she was white again, and beautiful.

I was at a BMX competition. I ended up on a bike on the front lawn, not in the competition. I could only hang on the handlebars by the very end of the bars, so I didn't have a good grip; still, I took off and went so fast approaching a chained-off walkway, I had to do a bunny-hop. I was surprised I got about a foot of lift or more and was able to clear the chain.

I started to use pedal brakes and was afraid that I had a fly-wheel. My pedal brakes worked and I started to skid and slow down.

Then I was overlooking the BMX competition. The track was more of an obstacle course and looked just about impassible. It would have been ridiculous in waking life. It was a crevice with the hill-side closing in on the narrow, rocky path.

I move to get another view, pushing aside a thick plastic curtain. It comes down from where it was loosely tacked up. There are a few guys on the other side and one gets upset.

I tell him I'll fix it, he gave me some wood, and said to his friend, "Here you are my leave," trying to sound aristocratic. He said that twice.

I responded sarcastically, "I'm not going to take this (wood), and I think you mean, 'Here you are my liege' (which he did).

Then I was in a warehouse with Chuck Norris. (This is the second dream in a month I have had of Chuck Norris ) He started telling me about women. He said, "Some of them want the (Male) cat, some of them want the cat and the dog! The dog represented the counterpart to a cat, or another way of representing the man. Maybe this is to say that some women want a sensitive man, and some want a sensitive man who also has a macho side to him.

I was going to help Chuck unload and stack three carts of plywood against a wall.

Dream skip to where I am somehow claiming a portion of land. I am with my brother, and I have a hand-held tiller much like a hand-held vacuum. I'm tilling the outside border of the land I want to mark it off.

I end up at a building which is apparently a church. A friend and I have stashed a couple cases of soda in the church and we are considering it a good thing to have it stashed to get at a later time.

There was something else stashed of more value, but I never really knew what it was.
