Weird dream

okay, I had this really weird dream last night. I was so realistic and yet not. I've actually looked for some of the dream meanings, which I don't think I really believe, because it was such an interesting dream.

First, we (whoever we were) were at Nana B's house have a goodbye party for me because I was going away to school. Only problem, I was who I am now, a married woman with 2 kids. We walked outside and there were fireworks shooting off from behind the Chapman's house. Uncle Pete used to shoot fireworks sometimes when he lived there. We admired the pretty fireworks and got in the car to leave, my car, Natalie was driving, and Nana B. was in the passenger seat. I was in back with all of my stuff, headed off for BYU, the place I first started college. I thought that it was nice that I didn't have to go to school until after Thanksgiving and luckily my family would be able to visit for Christmas. Wouldn't it be nice if a semester of school was only one month long, however, I still would have a major problem leaving my family for that long. So, we're driving along in that weird dream way where only the important stuff shows up when we get to a beautiful lake in a red rock canyon. It was like rocks in Sedona, but with a lake. Sorry Em, not Lake Powell. As we drive, we see a beaver dam built by the side of the road that created a pond in a dip in the road. I told Natalie that we should stop and test the depth because I wasn't sure that my car would make it through. She just kept right on going and made it through just fine. I asked her to slow down or stop while I found my camera and took pictures of this beaver dam in the road. She just kept right on going. As I turned around, I saw these skydivers coming down over the lake. I realized, in that weird dream way that isn't actually true, that I had seen the divers jump out of their plane before the beaver dam. Now, they were almost to the lake and it looked so cool. I asked Natalie to stop so I could take a picture. Do we sense a recurring theme here? She kept right on going as the sky divers were landing in the lake. Then my alarm went off and I woke up.

Now I have to rag tie Emma's hair for pictures tomorrow.

I am flattered that I was in your dream. It is weird that I wouldn't stop and let you take a picture. In real life I would of let you take a picture! We all have weird dreams.

Nats, I know that you would have, and strangely, I don't think that it was about the pictures at all. I think that this was another "what am I going to do with my life?" dream (at 37 yrs old) and you are someone that I think of as having a clear vision of their life plan. Of course, then you had to go and marry my brother who shares my generation x disease.

I think that Natalie just doesn't like you.

Did any of your teeth fall out?

jaust.me said...

What? It's Shanda's teeth that are planning on falling out. Should my teeth be falling out or did that happen in one of your psycho dreams?

Merilee said...

I've had countless dreams where my teeth fall out. Nothing lately though.

you guys are all insane.

i wonder if it has to do w/ meg's and my talk of moving lately and that that would leave you, nat, and mom as the bogle women keepin' on in the valley.
i don't know, just a thought that popped into my head.
