Card game at the drum circle

I was sitting in a large circle with a group of people.  The circle was not really a circle but more of an L shaped circle.  People on the other side were sitting on a wall so were a little bit higher than me.  We were all playing cards.  I had an excellent hand of four aces and some other card.  I opened a beer.  Somebody on the other side of the circle said we could not drink beer there.  I asked them what kind of circle this was and they said a drum circle.  I also asked when it was decided we could not drink beer and the person told me that themselves and one other person had decided last night to make that rule.

Drumming at the Beach

I was at the beach with a group of friends.  The beach was rocky and the water was rough.  There was a wall made of rocks that extended out in to the lake.  At the end of the wall was a beautiful drum.  It was a military style like you would see in a fife and drum corps.  The harness for holding it was red with gold threads in it.  Some of us were swimming in the water.  I warned people to stay in shallow because the waves were large and the back tow could be very dangerous.

Tennis Game

I was playing a game of tennis except the court was inside a garage.  There was no net but there was a crack in the blacktop where the net would be and a cracks where the lines would be.  I was playing a woman and we kept disagreeing over my serve.  She said my serve was good and I was not so sure because there was no net.  She won the first set quite easily because I was working on my serve.  Eventually I started serving very well and my opponent could not return any of my serves.  Sometime the ball would hit one of the cracks where the lines should be and take a crazy bounce.  The ball went way out of the court and landed in a pile of leaves and mud.  I fished them out and decided I would have to use yellow tennis balls because the green ones were too hard to find in the grass.

Working in the Computer Room

I was in an office building that had a lot of cubicles.  The cubicles were small and cramped.  A friend of mine came over and said he could get me work in the computer room.  We walked over and the computer room was great.  It had carpet on the floor and lots of room to walk around.  The computers were arraigned around the outside walls and raised up on tables.  I looked at one very closely and the enclosing cabinet was almost completely empty with just a small box that had the processor in it.  This computer also had some vintage computer games loaded in it.

Cute Tiger

A friend of mine showed me a tattoo he was going to get.  He had it all sketched out and was going to get it on the front of his thigh.  It was a beautiful Bengal tiger with orange and black stripes.  The only thing was it's head was a cute little kitten and its paws were little kitten paws playing with a ball of string.

What a beautiful place to work!

I was taking a tour of a place where a lot of technical people worked.  The outside looked like an abandoned building but inside a different story.  I walked down some steps and there was a large auditorium all in a green blue color motif.  the auditorium sloped down to a console where lots of people were working.  The floor did not slope down but was terraced so is was like gentle steps.  In the center of the console were dozens of screens which were displaying information which the people at the console were manipulating.  I looked up and the screens went up almost five stories high.  I commented to somebody next to me that it reminded me  of the last place I worked except there the whole building was made of steel.  This workplace was all made of glass.  I walked out and looked at the building again on the outside.  It was a deserted looking building much like an adobe house on a crossroads of dusty roads.  No one could tell how beautiful it was inside from looking at the outside of the building.

At the police station

I was with some friends.  We were specifically looking for some women to take to a party at the police station.  We found one girl who would go.  She had a large dragon tattooed on her left shoulder.  It started on her shoulder and ran halfway down her back.  The police station was very tight and the hallways could hardly be passed through.  There were two rooms with partly opened doors.  The girl went through one door.  The other door open a little bit more and there was a policeman there.  He started yelling at me and told me the station was in super secret lock down. I did not believe him and told him so.  He closed the door so I could not get in the room but I noticed there were women inside that room also.  I turned around and my two friends were to my surprise also policemen.   They started complaining about the policeman behind the door and how he was abusing his authority.  Just then the door opened up and the first policeman was there.  My friends got silent and embarrassed that they had been caught complaining .  The policeman started yelling so loud steam started coming out of his ears.

Skiing in the River

I was on a boat traveling in a river.  There was going to be a race of water skiers.  We started downstream and I swerved around the boat to pick up speed and then let go of the tow rope so I could go faster.  I was moving quite fast and my skis were narrow like snow skis.  I was moving my feet back and forth similar to the down hill slalom skiing.  there was one or two skiers ahead of me but I was gaining on them.  They were being towed by boats as opposed to me who was moving under my own power.

Working in the Spa

I was helping out somebody who had a job working in a spa for women.  Her job was to give foot baths to people.  They would sit in a chair with a white robe wrapped around them and soak their feet in a tub that had jets of water pulsating inside.  My task was to give my friend a foot bath while she rested.  It was actually her job but somehow I was doing the work.  She sat in a chair reading a magazine while I went in search of a foot bath.  I found one but it was connected to a machine that had lots of tubes coming out of it.  Each tube had water coming out of it and was connected to a panel that had lots of connection points for the tubes.  I could not figure out which tube was connected to the foot bath I wanted to use.  I had to disconnect the foot bath and take it across the room so my friend could take her foot bath.  I walked over to my friend to ask which tube to pull and two more people had sat down and they also wanted foot baths.  I walked back to where the foot batch I had located was and somebody had already taken it.  I looked back to where my friend was sitting and the two people who had come in for a foot bath had gotten disgusted by the wait and had left.  I found the person who had taken the foot bath I wanted to use and she told me I would have to wait.  I looked down at it and it was broken in half with only the bottom half remaining.  All the mechanical parts were uncovered.  I walked back to tell my friend and two men walked in.  I looked at myself and I was wearing a pink robe.  The two men started to make fun of me and then left. 

Pharoh's Army

I was a leader in the Egyptian army.  Not the modern army but an army that only used spears and bow and arrows.  We were fighting invaders and had formed a defensive line behind a small hill.  The hill was long and about 4 feet high so it was almost like a trench.  The other army was behind a similar hill that ran parallel with the hill my army was behind.  The foreign army looked odd, like flat cardboard pieces used in a board game.  We stared at each other for a along time then somebody in my army reached their spear over the two hills and speared two enemy soldiers.  That started the fighting.  Even though we were evenly matched in numbers the foreign army used arrows where we only used spears.  The army that I was in started getting killed.  When each soldier got killed they turned red and slid backwards down the hill.  Eventually we had to give up the fight and moved back into our walled town.  The town was so poor we could only raise up spear men to defend the town.  I looked to a friend of mine.  He said don't feel bad, I have a town in Alaska where it takes me 10 turns just to raise one spear man.  I looked down and there was a large map of the world.  He did have a city on a long finger of land in Alaska that was so poor he could not do anything there.  I suggested he abandon the city but he wanted to continue with it even thought it was more trouble than it was worth.

Fishing Trip

I was on a boat in a big lake.  The lake was big enough I could not see the other side.  We were drifting in the water and wanted to fish.  There was a large white stone sticking straight out of the water that I was afraid we would bump in to.  I lowered my fishing line in the water.  I was using a lure that looked like a bird with a long yellow beak and a grin on it's face. It was a nasty grin not a happy one.  I looked down into the water and could see a fish looking at my lure.  It was an orange fish with white vertical stripes.  It grabbed the lure but did not pull too hard.  The boat started going very fast and we were dragging the fish along.  Somebody told me to pull on the line to set the hook in the fish's mouth.  I pulled on the line and it came loose.  The bait I was using was left half in the fish's mouth.  It was not a worm but looked more like some kind of patty or peanut butter sandwich that had been torn in half with half sticking in the fish's mouth.  I thought what lousy luck and the fish, who's mouth was stuck shut because of the peanut butter or whatever it was said "How do you think I feel?"

Chess game

I was playing chess with my old girlfriend.  Since she had never played before it should have been easy to beat her.  She kept tricking me however.  Once she trapped my queen, Once she took my pawn just before I queened it.  Once she lined a bishop and queen up for a checkmate.  I couldn't figure out how she was doing it.

Jerry Seinfeld

I was in a room with a group of people.  Except I wasn't me, I was Jerry Seinfeld.  There was a 14 foot alligator that was waiting for us all outside the room.  In my best Jerry voice I said lets get out of here.

Working downtown!

I was heading in to work downtown.  When I got to my workplace the doors were covered in plywood.  It looked like they were our of business.  I walked down a few doors to another place and saw that it was open and very busy. It was a theater that had been restored to its former beauty.  I walked back to my place of work and saw the the doors were open.  I walked in and there was an escalator going up to the third floor.  There was somebody behind me in a suit and carrying a cup of coffee.  I also had coffee.  When I got to the third floor I had to get in an elevator.  There was a young man all dressed up like a concierge.  His shirt was blazing white and he wore a red vest.  Before I got in the elevator he told me that somebody had spilled a cold drink in the elevator keys so it was not working properly.  I pointed out that I had a hot drink so it was not me who spilled. 

Model Jet Airplane!

I was with a group of people who fly remote control airplanes.  I had a rocket powered jet that I wanted to fly.  I lined it up on a runway and lit the fuse.  The plane started to turn around instead of going straight down the runway.  I nudged it with my foot to get it in the right direction. Then it took off and started flying.  There was some sort of malfunction and a parachute popped out of the jet except it was still flying.  It had a tendency to nose downward but I was able to correct it with my remote control.  It started flying very well.  Then it came rocketing down almost straight for me.  I was able to get it to swerve over and land it.  I landed the jet by nosing it up and then it stalled and I would repeat that until it gently landed.  The parachute was draped over the wings.

House where Mary lived

Yes it was the house where Mary mother of Jesus lived.  I was trying to find it.  It was rumored that Mary had lived in one of the houses in my hometown about 100 years ago before going back to Jerusalem to die.  I was driving up and down the street trying to figure out which house it was.  It never occurred to me that it was impossible for Mary to have lived in a town in the United States.
