Things you learned in your dreams last night

[TallGeekyGirl]

My old elementary school has been completely renovated. This part, at least, is true in reality.

However, what I didn't know about the renovation is that it's now somehow larger on the inside and, while still functioning as an elementary school, the entire bottom floor is now a glitzy shopping mall. There are escalators that lead to a bottom level that I didn't get to explore.

The top floor hasn't been renovated t all, and is shabby and run-down looking. The three rooms that once comprised the library have been turned into one large room, with the walls having been removed but the floor tiles still in place. You can still see the outlines of the rooms because of the different tiles. Even though the school/mall is still a functioning school, up in the library is the only place I ever saw any kids.

Also on the top floor is a square spiral staircase that leads up to a tiny alcove with a single run-down desk. That's where they put 'the bad kids.' For some reason, there were a bunch of rusty old compasses and broken protractors all around the desk. There's also a school room that looks more like a prison cell right by the door that leads up the spiral stair. (Those two doors right beside each other exist in reality, and when I was a student there I always wondered what was behind them. I guess my subconscious wanted to answer that in it's own particularly odd way.)

If you and your club members volunteer to go to a secure military base to help them setup a bomb test, don't be disappointed when snafus mean the test has to be rescheduled to a later date.

Also, make sure to help Jeff Goldblum dig the hole for the bomb. He's willing to work hard, but doesn't know the tricks. Also, make sure to put the dirt from the hole in the trash bag so you don't leave a messy hole to be blown up.

Also, despite the fact that security is so tight the guards have shoot orders if anyone strays (no one did) and that the military won't even tell you if it will be a conventional or atomic bomb, don't be surprised when the general in charge shows up to tell you and Mick Jagger every single detail of the test including the snafu after it is canceled. Apparantly, people on your base who won't leave until after the test are a security risk, but people who will be leaving the base before the test aren't.

Finally, if you are going to test the shrapnel patterns that would result from a large bomb being detonated under a metal bridge, do not plan the plant the bomb in the ground inside a concrete building, the results won't be the same.

Although I washed my hair yesterday, according to last night's dream it was unwashed and horribly greasy and dirty. I had to put it in plaits to keep it out of my eyes, and the plaits were fat and bulgy because the hair was so greasy and grimy. And all my hair was mouse brown (it's actually bleached and I recently bleached my mouse-brown roots). And all of this happened in the geography classroom of my old school, because my whole project team had relocated there ...

When you work in a finance office, it doesn't matter how long you take for lunch. No one will notice, even when you are gone for 3 hours, so don't fret about it while you're waiting for your cheeseburger.

On the way back to the office, you will see a kid on a skateboard get hit by a truck. - didn't like that part of the dream so much.

Apparently Michelangelo was actually an impressionist who was known for some really cheesy sunset paintings. Of course, halfway through the dream my brain realized that my timing was off and I spent the rest of my dream on an adventure trying to find this Michelangelo's real first name.

Damn, it's been a while since I had a full on art history dream.

Not really. It has been fully renovated, but it's still just an elementary school. I admit that I'm terribly curious about what the building looks like on the inside now, but since I don't have kids I don't think they'd let me come take a tour just to satisfy my curiosity.

The end result is that I've actually had many, many dreams over the years about it. The really odd thing is that, usually, the inside is almost always a shopping mall in these dreams. I don't know why.

This wasn't last night's dream (as I have a cold and my dreams were confusing and frequently cut short by me waking up with snot in my eye) but I think it's important.

When arranging cats to be placed into tiny canoes on a very thin canal, it's important to remember before I've sent them all off on their way, all chuffed and pleased with my handywork, that I don't know where they're going, subsequently fearing for them and panicking into the water after them. Next time, I must think BEFORE loading cats into tiny canoes.

This was a couple of nights ago, but it's still pretty sweet.

Tom Hanks's ghost thinks I'm pretty great and wants to hang out with me.

There is a universe in which Dr. Cox from Scrubs and Fluttershy work in a library and are best friends. And a lot of people 'ship them, no matter how baffling I may find that.

Under the right circumstances, Fluttershy can be every bit as intimidating as Dr. Cox, if not more so. If I ever check out a book from that library, I'll be darned sure to get it back on time!

(1) My mother loves chocolate-covered vegetables and I gave her a box of them for either her birthday or Mother's Day.

(2) I am able to return to my former employer (from 25+ years ago) on an as-needed basis and did so for one day.

Thanks.

One of my friends jokes I don't have dreams, I have "in sleep movies"

I blame most of them on watching Dr Who from a very early age!

In last night's dream my first 2 cats (Kitty I and Scrapper) came to visit me. They are doing fine, getting along with each other better than in life, and we all look forward to being reunited one day I woke up feeling all warm and fuzzy.
