Socks

I am recording this dream about a week after having it so of course I don't remember all the details. In the dream I was wearing hand knit socks my daughter made for me and the sock on my right foot kept slipping down and bunching up at my heel.

I have the weirdest dreams!

Bull

I find myself hanging onto a rope tied to a very large helium balloon along with a small child. The child is above me and the balloon does not have quite enough lift to keep us in the air. I kick off from the ground to get us up in the air and catch the breeze to carry us away from a large black bull. The landscape below us is beautiful rolling green hills; unfortunately there are no houses or trees to safely keep us from the charging bull. Our only choice is to try and stay up in the air and hopefully travel far away from the bull. Eventually I spot a cluster of bushes and the bull is a good distance behind us; I decide that we can safely hid among the bushes. Once down on the ground a house appears and we go inside, unfortunately the bull appears again and we take cover behind a sofa. The bull enters and transforms into a man. The sofa is next to the front door, the bull-man enters the back door walks through the house past the sofa toward the open front door and exits the house; as he walks past our hiding spot he says “I can see you hiding, that sofa doesn’t help”.

Shocking Responsibility

I found myself in a very large kitchen with family and friends preparing for an event. We gathered together to clean the kitchen which was in disarray. When the lights were flipped on some unidentified piece of equipment sitting on top of the refrigerator started rotating and spewing dirt all over us and the kitchen. I told one of my pregnant cousins to hurry and unplug the device or throw the switch for the power. As she headed to do so; I said be careful, I was worried it may not be safe. The outlet was sparking and still she grabbed for the plug and pulled it out of the socket, she burned one of her hands and was zapped by the electricity. We were all relieved the dirt spewing machine had been stopped and that my pregnant cousin appeared to be OK. However, my cousin was angry with me. She held up her hand to me and said "look, I've burned myself, and the electricity could have injured my baby". I felt worried for the baby too. I asked her why she touched it if it looked dangerous? She responded that I had asked her to and therefore it was my fault. I did not accept the blame; I told her that she was an adult and responsible for herself and that I was not to blame for her injury. Still, I felt anxious for the baby.

Pottery Class

I am describing my dream several weeks after dreaming it. This dream was so strong; it made it was easy to remember.


I find myself in a pottery class; I am enrolled by myself. Looking around the class I see a lot of people attending with other people they know, friends, relatives and partners. I also see that there are several like me attending by themselves and I decide that it is OK for me to be on my own. The class is taking a while to get started and I decide to head to a break room for a coffee and run into my friend DH and another friend of ours who happens to be attending the same class. We go into the class room which still has not started; I pick up my class materials and head into the hall with my friends to chat while we wait for our instructor. When we realize we have been chatting a long time and should head back to our class, the community center becomes a maze and we get lost trying to find our way back. We finally find our way however we arrive just as the class is wrapping up. I tell my friends not to worry; we only missed the introduction and I tell them we can catch up by reading through the materials handed out. I read to my friends our first step or homework; “draw a picture of what you want to create”. That’s easy! We head home, but again the community center becomes a maze and we are having a problem finding our way out. As we are going through the halls we pass behind a stage where a community play is being performed. All of a sudden a little girl runs up to DH and hands a torch off to her as if she were in a relay race; the next thing we know a crowd of people start chasing us. As we are running I realize that we had inadvertently been caught up in the play and that the torch and chasing crowd was not a threat. I stopped running, but could not get DH’s attention. Alone, I continued on the search for the exit and finally found my way out. The next class, I am being dropped off at the community center by AE (my boyfriend) and as I am heading into the building, just as I am at the door to enter I hear honking and shouting, I turn to see that an old friend of AE’s has spotted him and they exchange hello’s. I watch for a minute and then turn to head into the building for my class.


This dream had details similar of past dreams: chasing, crazy maze-like buildings, the building was run-down, missing walls and a little treacherous. The big difference of past dreams; I was confident and felt empowered. What I find amusing about this dream, my friend was caught up in a community play; later I realized this meant she was caught up in a drama. – Too funny!
