A night (or rather early morning) full of bizarre dreams:
1. Kidlet and I were going walking, but something came up/went wrong with car? I dropped her at the parking area for our walk and went to deal with whatever. Got delayed, discovered she didn't have her cell phone with her, and became increasingly frantic about what might happen to her. Woke up from this, went downstairs and dozed dreamlessly with a purring cat on my lap for a while. Then back upstairs...
2. Travelling-- waiting for a plane, watching people get on a row of small buses, when I discover that the bus is taking people for my flight to another airport. (Boarding slips are thin red strips like carnival tickets; I have three strips.) I've been flirting with a cute guy in a leather jacket; really want to exchange contact info but I'm nervous and then realize the buses are about to leave.
On the bus I inadvertently sit down between a grandmother and the baby she's tending-- the baby was sitting equally distant from two people. The baby is adorable, and when she cries I cuddle her. She spits up on me, of course, and I hand her off to grandmother. (This bit was probably inspired by a similar clip on Funniest Home Videos last night.) Then I pick up a toy-- red, 6"x6"x2, far too advanced for the baby, and realize it is a computer interface with a disabled child. She's about 10 and has some disease that keeps her bedridden. I copy her email address from the screen before getting off the bus.
3. I'm preparing to teach in a private school in a big old farmhouse. The head teachers are the two music directors from my church in Michigan-- and in the dream they are clearly a couple. They have a room to themselves but my bed is a bunk in a classroom, and my closets in the same room have no doors. I'm increasingly upset that they are ignoring my demands for doors, when classes start very soon and kids will be able to get into all my stuff.
Very weird. None very upsetting except the first, and that didn't really stay with me once I woke up.
