Fragment 1: My mom and I were walking, following a car which we thought my 11 year old was driving home ahead of us, and we were following on foot to kind of ensure he was ok. Had a moment of panic when the car we were following turned onto the highway, but then we realized that this was not the right car and the driver was a grownup. We had been following the wrong car! So where was my son? We thought most probably he had driven home like he was supposed to. But we started running toward home just in case.

Fragment 2: There was this teenaged girl who was creeped out by this older man who was following her around and snooping around her. I explained to him that he should stop doing that because she had been molested by someone as a child and this was really creeping her out. He said he would not be following her around surreptitiously if she went out with him for lunch. I thought either he does not get it, or he really is a pervert.

On a walk with group in Africa, I got distracted and separated, and realized I would now likely get eaten by lions.

Fragment 1: A friend was looking for my younger son. I had not realized he was hiding and sulking in same room as me. He was upset that we would not buy him a new bike.

Fragment 2: there was a fabric coffee machine that was soft and it had pockets where one would pour the coffee and the water into. Someone else had made coffee in it that was too weak and I was going to make another better coffee.

Fragment 3: we lived in some sort of townhouse community where neighbors seemed to all know each other. We had guests visiting.

I was a young woman during another era. I had a brother but I suspect we were orphaned since no mention of parents. And we were in the merchant class. My brother needed to get to another city, but we could not afford to pay for him to get there. And he was still a child and unable to work for his fare. Maybe he was sick? A merchant agreed to take him if I slept with him. I thought that this was ok, after all I was not a lady and thus there was no expectation of my being a virgin on my wedding night. In the future I hoped to be able to pay in other ways but now I could not.

Fragment: Long drive to college?

Fragment 2: Lengthy scene about trying to order at a restaurant. I was trying to order three separate dishes, one was an egg dish, one an avocado dish, and I don't remember the third. At least one of them I wanted loaded with all the optional toppings which was a lot. It would be overall too much food but in the dream I did not really consider that. The challenge was there was more than one version of the menu, so finding what I wanted required having the right menu first.
