Traveling and Lost

I started off the dream in a room with my husband and his family (mainly his little brother) and we were taking turns playing a game that had magic and other things in it.

Later on I end up taking a trip to a store and for some reason I just happened to have a magic wand. I met a group of people there and I conjured food for them. The store owners weren't pleased so I said let's move somewhere else.

We moved and I conjured more food and ice cream for them. Finally it was time to go home and we took a school bus. The bus dropped me off somewhere in my neighborhood. This is where my usual problem of finding my way home reared it's head.

I went from house to house heading in (what I thought) was an eastern direction. Everyone was eating the same things and no one seemed to mind that I was barging into their houses. No one spoke English.

At one point, which I feel is worth mentioning, I got to swing around in a small bamboo forest. It was very fun.

I had a small hand held device that showed me that the entire time I thought I was going east (towards my house) I was actually going some other direction.

I never made it home, but at least this time I wasn't anxious or afraid.

The first part of the dream consisted of me actually working out how to paint different pictures and what techniques I should use. Pretty boring since that is all I was doing. I actually woke up after this part and thought 'well, that will be easy to remember'.

Second part, probably after I went back to sleep was about my laptop and me. I don't really remember where I was, it seems like I might have  been in college or going to meetings somewhere with tables and chairs. The only thing that really happened was that someone or something made me really angry and I destroyed my laptop.

I had just recently gotten one, I don't really remember much of this part, I just know it was very new and I was very happy with it (probably mirrors my waking feelings). I was doing some sort of test and part of the test was either I had to type something or plug in a keyboard. Yes, I know laptops have built in keyboards. I am typing on one now, but in my dream my laptop was more like a very small PC.

Anyway, all the other people around me had theirs all plugged in and I realized I couldn't find my regular keyboard. I looked all through the backpack that I wore to keep all my laptop things and I found a bunch of old keyboards and was about to give up when I found the only other USB keyboard we have (which we do, the one I was looking for is broken in real life, and the one I found we use on the PC). By the time I got back to my "laptop" I probably only had a few seconds left to plug in my keyboard. I couldn't fit it into the little USB port and time was up. I lost out on something because of something so stupid.

Cue the roiling anger and fireworks. I destroyed the laptop, cracking the screen and stepping on the keyboard. I was fully aware that I had just gotten this and it had cost quite a bit to get it. I didn't care. I wanted to destroy something. In the same vein of my usual (and not quite straight) thinking, I felt better destroying something I valued.

A little while later after I had calmed down, I felt bad about what I did and went back to my husband and told him what I did. For some reason by this time, the laptop had already been sent off to be examined. He told me what they were doing and how much they were going to charge to return the laptop back to me in one piece with all the information and files I had moved onto it. It was more than twice the cost of the laptop brand new! He said he opted to just rebuild another one for me and ordered it. I remember being upset because I hadn't been part of the building so I had no idea what he did. He said he made it exactly like the other one and I thought to myself that I would have liked to tweak a few things.

Yes. It's my inner brat!

Next part of my dream I was traveling with my family, the only people I can confirm that were there for sure was my mom and my youngest older sister (if I mention a sister in my dreams it will probably be her). I have no idea where we were going, but we had a lot of stuff and all my cats were with us. I don't think there is hardly a dream that I have where there ISN'T a cat.

As usual, I only remember a bit of this dream. We arrived at a place I used to play at as a child. This place still exists in real life and I actually kind of miss it. It's out in the country with cows and horses; pastures and trees.  I think we needed to stop for supplies and use the restroom, or at least my sister and I did. We don't speak to these people anymore, so I was just kinda standing around waiting for someone to tell me where we had permission to go when my sister said 'hey we can go in here'.

Here was a sort of apartment the people built there for their daughter to live. It was in the back of a workshop and it ran the entire back length of the building. I had a friend that had lived there and I remember both how it looked before it was an apartment and afterward. I think I was always fascinated with it.

I wasn't sure we should be going into this apartment as I remember people lived there, but when I stepped inside I was shocked. The entire apartment was changed. Gone was the carpet and furniture and pretty much everything that had made it look like an apartment. The entire thing was redone in pure white. Pure white tiles on the walls and the floors, the ceilings and windows and the mini kitchen were done in white. Everything was pristine and pure and shining. The most amazing thing was the biggest hot tub thing in the very center of the main room. It was so deep that even though the most bottom part was filled with water, my sister was completely submerged pulling a plug to empty the rest of the water out. (I have no idea why she did this. When she did this all I could think was "Great now she's soaking wet").  I actually told her how shocked I was at the entire place.

This place eventually morphed into the kitchen from my old house. We ended up finding a toilet in the adjoining room, so the layout was basically the old kitchen. I think by the time I found the toilet she had already used it. At some point between then and when I needed to go, we had to fend off a very annoying living stuffed animal that kept bothering us. I think she ended up putting it outside through the backdoor.

My mom came in and started fussing about the place not being spotless or something equally silly. She said she wanted to leave soon and she had all sorts of cleaning supplies with her and asked us to hurry and finish up so we could leave.

We both left, and we ended up walking down wooden steps towards the back of a white van, and I could see all kinds of cats wandering around outside. I only thought of how long it would take to round them up because I guess they let them out to do their cat business.

I don't remember anything else, I think I woke up.

Traveling and Animals

• school
• building
• clothing
• driving
• food
• owl
• leopard
• lion
• plants
• greenhouse
• trucks
• people
• planting
• hawk
• some old man
• shooting
• hidden chefs

Mainly a dream about running around and not actually stopping in one place for very long. I went from school, to a building across the street from it, discovered someone who had stolen clothes and hidden them there. I think for some reason I needed to change clothes or I needed clothes because I started to pick them up and put them in my bag. The guy that had stolen them came back and I think he got mad. The police showed up soon and took him away and I slipped away unnoticed. 

On the other side of the building was a group of I guess ninja chefs. I think they were trying to get me to join them, but I decided not to and I think I started home. I went to two restaurants and got enough to eat for my family. I think there was something odd about this as well because the people in the restaurant thought it was strange that I had stopped by two of the same chain of restaurants to order food. I did have a reason and it was well thought out, but right now I don't remember what the reason was.

I went back home and this is where I discovered my mom had taken our greenhouse and was trying to sell plants from the inside. I think I was upset about this because I think a lot of my own plants were sitting outside of the greenhouse and I think I had just bought quite a few young plants (or they just appeared and I accepted that I had just bought them). I asked my mom where I was supposed to put my plants and I don't remember what her answer was, but I'm sure it wasn't very helpful.

I met some strange guy outside by the front of the house who was trying to fix his truck. I've never seen him before. Oddly enough my jeep was parked behind his truck and I wondered how he got his truck in between my jeep and my parents van. I looked at my jeep and discovered that the back bumper was missing. I questioned the guy about this and he denied any knowledge about it.

I think he turned into a hawk because I saw a hawk later that was him (you know how in dreams you just know who someone is even though they may have morphed into someone else).  He was feeding some chicks inside a pet carrier. Next to that pet carrier was another pet carrier with a sick owl inside. After feeding the chicks the hawk flew off and I was really sad for some reason.

When I wiped my eyes I saw a leopard (not a jaguar) stalking either me or the owl, he was just staring intently in my direction but I was right next to the owl. I screamed for help and someone that was working for my mom got out a shotgun and shot the leopard and it died. I walked up to the body and next to it was the body of a lioness or a young lion. I thought why did I ask him to shoot it. I regretted it, especially after seeing the lion's body. Luckily, the guy knew some magic and brought it back to life, but with a human consciousness. I'm not sure if the lion was also brought back to life.

I think there was a little more that happened after this but I woke up soon after, so the rest is a blur.
