I'm a teacher, I teach

Setting: a “super church”

New pastor (few months there) is holding a service for homeless people before the regular service. He is keeping it a secret from the board and from the other church members. He gives great sermons to them, personal and relevant. There are about 20-30 who come regularly! He tells them about where they can get their next meal and brings tangible items for some. He starts to usher them out the back of the church so they aren’t seen by the congregation.

One homeless man, Mark, reminds the pastor not to define him by his homelessness… “I am Mark, I’m a teacher, I teach.”

army crawl

Army situation (like that wii game?). Husband got too far ahead and I saw him get taken by an enemy man and woman solider. I followed to a small shed where they were going to torture him. I hacked into the bad guy’s cell phone through Bluetooth and ordered him to report to his superior for a meeting, with the girl. I snuck into the shed after them and freed my husband, but he had no clothes on.

bowling for family feud?

Bowling ally with family

Lanes dropped (sloped down) half-way through the lane

Sister had a headache and complained the whole time

Husband “yelled” at me because there were chopsticks on the lane

Mom “prayed” for me out loud – humiliating and untrue things… “Lord, help her to get over being a baby and realizing it by being called down with a bunny cup. Help her to control her extreme anger towards her husband and to get over her excessive selfishness…” ECT!

mew mew mew mew

Singing cats, in a choir, all sitting on the shoulders of their owners, singing together.

ocean adventurers

My brother leant me a book about a family’s adventures travelling at sea

I thumbed through the pagers and saw tonnes of pictures, even tiny ones embedded in the text. There were lots of pictures of their two children, a boy and a girl.

In two places in the book there were pictures of the children with foam beards and rocks decorated with foam. Saving foam?

There was this picture taken with the camera half under water. The boy was in the left and holding something, the girl was walking away to the right. The water line was below the boy’s eyes, but over the girl’s head, 2/3rds the way up the picture.

In the middle of the book, the pagers were words and small pictures over a map.

The cover of the book was mainly blue, with a photo that was mostly blue. I could not read the title in the dream.

The book was obviously read and re-read, the pages worn, the spine bent but in tact, the soft cover was worn, bent, and curled.

i didn't eat it

my brother ate the beef jerky I bought for a trip and tried to hide the fact
he claimed not to know it "belonged" to anyone...

train and a smile

a church

some sort of train that a young grandchild fixed up for grandpa

he smiles more

grandchild said “I smile more” – a boy grandchild

tracks were polished

meat pies and a ride

I was making meat pies, with a choice of stuffing: ground meat, stew, deer steak, potatoes. There was a boy or a man (who?) there. I was making pies for him, but he would not make up his mind.

I was riding in the back of a trailer or a sleigh with blankets wrapped all around me. At one point, my husband was there too. Sometimes we knew the destination, sometimes not.

- someone’s nose missing

- scene with guy who had 2 girls

en francais

I dreamt I was with a family I know in Quebec. Most of the dream was in French. They had moved across town- far from school. The son looked younger and shorter than he was years ago. He was talking and broke into almost perfect English. I told him as much and he beamed.

The daughter wanted to take me and another girl camping or on a road trip. We were walking to see where we could camp. Just down the block (set up like my grandfather’s block…) there was a still creek (unmoving???). The mosquitoes were huge and attacked me. I ran, but could not get away from them. They swarmed me to the ground and I was shaking. Someone called an ambulance and I remember coming in and out of consciousness, trying to communicate what happened.

quilt

Dreamt of sewing a “bride and groom” quilt… queen size, showing a dress and a tux

get-away-car

Dreamt of get away car with one tire (rear-drivers) off the rim

High tech small silver car

Dune buggies involved at some point, two of them, parked a few feet away from each other

Later on…

Some sort of fried strips…

2 piles of 3 each, being arranged into a teepee shape

pool house

drept of a large blue swimming pool with small blue tiles. We (me and who else? 2 or 3 guys) played in the pool for house and hours. We were playing some imaginary game.

-turning the heat up, the room temp, the pool temp

layout of the basement was strange… pool/shower/office?/storage…

-later in the dream talk of remodelling the basement. Don’t want to pay asking price because of so much renovation needed.

Weird concept for the house – like a 4 level split – washer/dryer on ½ level making a tv stand in level above and mini closet on level below…

to come

posts to come... when I get internet at home!

he drempt

about showing a picture of our daughter around at work... she had brown wavy hair and was sitting on the couch with her head cocked for the camera. she was 2 or 3 and he was a proud dad...

snow

in my nap this afteroon, all I remember is fighting snow, my truck stuck. when the phone rang I woke with a heart that sank. I was scared, even.

shower

He was just getting home from work, I was in my office. He came in behind me while I was working and just said "hun, how come there's no dinner ready?"

"I am pretty busy," I offered, gesturing to the mountains of paper around me and the word document showing on my laptop screen.

"well, I worked all day. I'm going to take a long shower before we have dinner." he said pointedly.

While he was in the shower, I went for a walk with my dog. I walked all the way to a little bistro, sat outside on the patio, and had something to eat. I worked on my paper there for an hour or two... with my puppy sitting at my feet. I went to make a phone call and realized I had forgotten my cell on the charger. When I got home, he already in bed reading. As I got into bed, he turned the light out and turned his back to me.

He was just getting home from work, I was in my office. He came in behind me while I was working and just said "hun, how come there's no dinner ready?"

"I'm pretty busy," I offered, gesturing to the mountains of paper around me and the word document showing on my laptop screen.

"well, I worked all day. I'm going to take a long shower before we have dinner." he said pointedly. "Then I can help you make something for dinner?"

While he was in the shower, I put music on and started boiling water for pasta. I got out cheese for him to grate and heated a can of tomato sauce. He took so long in the shower that I ended up making dinner and keeping it warm for him for a while. We ate together, and then he helped me load the dishwasher.

He was just getting home from work, I was in my office. He came in behind me while I was working and just said "hun, there's no dinner ready so you must be pretty busy, want me to make sandwiches or something?"

"I am pretty busy," I offered, gesturing to the mountains of paper around me and the word document showing on my laptop screen.

"well, I worked all day too. I'm going to take a long shower before I make sandwiches then." he said pointedly.

While he was in the shower, I saved my work. I walked into our room to change into more comfortable pants. As I slipped off my pants, I noticed the bathroom door ajar and the shower still running. Leaving the rest of my clothes on, I stepped quietly into the bathroom. He hadn't noticed me. I take my hair down and step into the shower with him, letting the water soak my clothes and letting him take me into his arms.

bra swap

This girl from high-school, kind of an excessive tom-boy, was in the bathroom. She starts to ask me something and I appoligise to her (for what?) and give her a hug. She wants to know if she can borrow my bra... an underwire. She offers me her sports bra if I want it, it is an emergancy she says. She is considerably better endowed than myself... but the phrase "give him the shirt off your back" comes to mind... "give her the bra off your chest..." and so I do, declining her sportsbra and wearing a patterned strapless runched elastic shirt alone underneath my shirt.

orange peels

holding orange peels in my hand I was cleaning in an old house and peeling up the fooring. when I came across a body just lying on the floor, I used the orange peels (to smell) so I wouldn't faint. the paint on the chair in the kitchen was peeling, the skin on the body was peeling, as I was peeling away the newspaper stuck to the wall I found a latin word carved in the wood.

leaving the house, I was sweaty and hot. I peeled of my contamination suit and was walking toward a black car.

i was dreaming this morning

of all the horrible things that phone call could have been...

blindness in a flood

we are in some forest - a flooded forest; there are 6 of us? 7 maybe?

we make a train with our bodies moving along in waste deep water as if we were a canoe. everyone is blind, except for me.

they were blinded because of something that happened, with a bright light - blinding everyone at once. not many survived the event, whatever it was, with their sight.

i am second in the group of people, but i lead because i have sight. i am leading them down a thin twisted forest path. we move slowly, like a floating canoe - but i don't think we are actually in one. i call out when the path twists left or right and the others follow. the path is narrowing, the overhead vines and branches getting closer and closer to our heads. it gets more difficult.

we reach a road that intersects our path. stop. ease out. i am looking for danger i know is there. we cross the road quickly, blindly, and find a stairway going down

into a building, also flooded waist deep. there are others in the building, all blinded except for a janitor who was in a concrete room when it happened.

they are packing supplies into two huge blankets/slings. i think there are puppies in the bottom layer - looking out little holes in the blankets - one full and the other only a quarter full. in the second layer of each pack is bread and asparagus. someone comments that they have cut too many trees - there is no room for the giant snake to live, and he will be angry.

dec4

I drempt something this morning, but I don't remember it. I remember that it was weird. Somebody big (tall) was in it. A man.
and I remember that when I woke up, I felt uncomfortable.

4 betrayals

I know there were four, but I cannot remember them all...

1. watching a concert? sitting in front of Real, leaning back on his knees -I turn to tell him something and he has a blonde girl sitting facing him on his lap!!
2. he obviously checks out and even points out a hot girl (very skimpy clothing, short red spiky hair, punk look)
3. he admits to fantasizing about dancing with another girl at the concert. Doesn't ever ask me to dance.
4. ?

vision

it wasn't really a dream, because I was awake when I saw it... but I saw a couple at church. they were holding hands and had their other arm raised up in worship. I could only see their backs, but I thought it was a beautiful picture.

all of a sudden I saw him in black and her in white, a groom and his bride.

and then it was gone. It was a small flash; it was only a fleeting moment.

house

I drempt that he and I bought a house. We rented the basement to Nav students at the University... to help pay mortgage and to give students the chance I never had (to live outside the home for minimal rent)

They had organized Nav get-together and asked if they could use the yard and our bbq. Our daughter was so popular with them... running in the backyard with her sundress and ringlets...

He told me not to forget this dream, it is something we could make reality.

touch

we are in bc?

there were two busses on the corner and I was behind my friends (?) and got on the wrong bus. Didn't know anyone on the bus, but the bus was already moving so I thought I could ride it to the station. I sat in the back. A guy saw the camera in my purse and commented -touched my leg but said it was a fuzz.

Kept touching me and I was getting upset. Other guys started copying him for an excuse to touch me too. Finally I moved

and am in a hallway walking. Telling the guy not to come within an arms length, demonstrating how far that is and telling him not to touch me. He was masturbating, then trying to touch me.

oysters from the sky

I don't remember much of this dream...

I had a coupon for buy one get one free for a book... but they had to be the same book! I ended up buying one I knew my mom would like... it had things about what mints do what and palm signs and reflexology and weird things... But I wanted to give it to her as a gift. When I brought it home she started highlighting it all, in both copies... I remember yelling at her because she didn't even ask me, just took both copies out of my bag and started putting dog ears on the pages and highlighting.


I am living somewhere desert like. The sand is hot, so we are digging to find moisture and coolness. We have access to wells, but we haven't had anything to eat in a few days. God wants us to trust Him, but we are scared. Oysters fall from the sky and we cook them in a pot of water.

emergency c-section

I awake from having an emergency c-section and it is tomorrow morning. All of a sudden I have this baby, but still have to work the three shifts that day. I go to tell my supervisor downstairs from where I am at the hospital that my stomach is all torn apart and I can't run around for the p1 shift but I should be okay for the k3 in the office. He is harsh with me. I tell him I will be right back. He yells because I am going to be late then. I don't even phone the catering company, I don't have time.

I am carrying my baby bundled in blankets, across this walkway to where my husband is. I am in a wheelchair and my baby is so small. I can't see who he is, his head is down. He doesn't know how to take the baby the first day while I work... he is in a panic. He has to work too, but maybe tomorrow he can get off.

I am back to start my shift, holding my stomach where the stitches are stretching and holding my baby. In the diet office some girls are talking about giving me gingerale with my "clear fluid" menu. I haven't eaten breakfast yet. Some girls from the floor come over and tell me to leave my baby with the nurses on unit 33. My baby is a girl. I go tell my supervisor that my doctor said bedrest. He says I will have to get a note, perhaps I should go to emergency about my stomach? I held my baby out to him and said "I just had a baby!" He said that there was no way for him to believe it was mine without a doctor's note. I turned and left for my room upstairs at the hospital.

I am sitting in my hospital bed with my baby beside me. My ex walks in with a baby carrier.

supposed to say...

we are at a coffee shop and he looks into my eyes and says again I still love you I had to leave to know I know now

I don't answer. I shake my head slowly. I think of someone else... I think of how we used to be. I think of how it used to be so long ago two seasons ago.

He is going on and on, begging? You are all I have, I can't live without you. I say finally I can't come back to you, there is no comitment, you will leave again, you haven't proven a thing to me. He pulls out a ring and shows it to me. He is crying. Please he says, please. I will be with you forever. I had to leave you to know.

I look at the ring but not in his eyes. This was supposed to be the sign. I purse my lips and say now you know.

Puis je mets ma tete dans les mains.
