Campground

I was visiting an uncle or maybe my grandfather.  They lived on a large flat expanse of land the they had converted to a campground.  They had a nice house in the middle of the campground and lots of machinery for maintaining the grounds.  I took the lawnmower for a ride.  It was a tractor that had a lawnmower behind it.  I looked all around the campgrounds.  Most of the spots were empty.  There were a few that had trailers on them.  The trailers were dilapidated and lots of children were around.  I thought to myself these people live here all year round because it is cheaper than rent.  One of the trailers also had a lean to with a tin roof attached to it.  As I drove past it a bunch of children ran out and I had to swerve so I did not hit them.  I turned back to the main house and thought to myself that this was a good place and I should think of buying it. 

Computer Repair

I was working in a small office.  Everything was white, the walls and floor.  I was working with a group of men who were trying to repair a computer.  We had been working  on it for a long time and eventually got everything going.  I called somebody to tell them I would be late coming home.  As I was walking out the door somebody said the printer was broken also.  They pushed a button and a continuous flow of paper came shooting out.  I remember thinking the clutch was stuck.  Just then somebody walked in to fix the printer and they had a large grip full of tools.  I could go home then.

New Log Cabin!

I was with two other people, one was a young woman with dark hair and eye, the other was a very young girl with blond curly hair.  We were walking along rows of houses that were all the same.  The wood was light pine that was varnished but not painted so it had a very natural look.  Finally we found the house that was ours.  It had a front porch that went the whole length of the front of the house.  There was a door on each end of the house.  I thought the house was a double because of the two doors.  We walked in to look around.  The house was small.  The cooking area, kitchen and living area were all in one room.  To sleep we had to climb up a ladder to a sleeping loft.  It was very much a log cabin.  The little girl climbed up the ladder and started to play in the sleeping loft.  I looked around the house and saw that the second door I saw outside also opened into this room so the house was not a double at all.  I went to another ladder to climb up to the sleeping loft and the ladder came loose and I had to balance the ladder back and forth.  I got the ladder back in place with no accident happening.

Baptism Day

I was with a friend of mine at a church that I dream about frequently.  The church is round with the altar in the front of the church.  What makes this church unusual is the seats are all arraigned in a circular pattern and the rows ascend toward the altar.  I was with my friend because his daughter was getting baptized and he was the sponsor and I was also a sponsor.  The preacher called off all the name of people getting baptized and they all went up the stairs to the altar.  When we got there the preached called out my friends name and said there were some complications.  I got angry and asked what the complications were.  The preacher did not want to answer at the time because it was too complicated.  She asked us to go out the back door and wait to talk to her after services.

A big moving day!

I was moving out of a small cottage type house.  It had two levels that were connected by a wooden staircase.  Everything was moved out with the help of kids from the church.  the only thing left were small stature that lined a shelf all around the room.  Maybe they were trophies instead of statues.  I walked up to my father and asked him what we should do next.

Cat in the house

I was sitting in my house and noticed a grey cat that had white stripes walking though the living room.  Then I saw another cat that was chasing the grey striped cat.  The grey striped cat was a female and the other cat was a male and trying to mate.  The male cat bit the female cat on the neck to make it stop running away.

Silver Plated Cane

I was talking to a female astronaut while she was in space.  She showed me some of the things she had brought in space with her and one of them was a silver plated cane like you would use for walking.  It had belonged to her father so it was very valuable to her.  Something went wrong with her space ship so she had to bail out and parachute to earth.  She jumped out and took her cane with her.  I remember thinking it would take several hours to parachute to earth but since she was an astronaut she could handle that.  When the parachute finally opened it ripped the cane out of her hand and it fell to earth separately.  It also ripped off her space helmet and her hair spilled out all over her shoulders.  She had long beautiful hair.  The cane landed is some swampy water and several people went to retrieve it.  One person found it and I tried to tell them it belonged to the astronaut.  The person showed me it could not possibly belong to the astronaut because it was not a cane at all it was a silver plate that had a train engraved on it.  It was not silver at all but aluminum.  I remember thinking to myself it's not an antique.  Then the person showed me the real purpose of the plate.  It was an accessory to be used with snow shoes.  It was filled with oil and the motion of walking allowed a lever to move up and down and release one drop of oil at each step.  The oil ran down the side of the plate.  The astronaut strapped the plate on her back and started to walk around.  It was quite bulky and hard to walk.  She walked along a wall and knocked off some of the plaster because it was so difficult to walk.

Bad day at Work

I was trying to get in to work.  My key would not work and I had a badge that should have opened the door.  There was a receptionist inside and she kept telling me to get my badge perfectly aligned with the side of the tray and it should work.  No matter how hard I tried I could not get in.  Finally the door opened and I went inside.  There were two men waiting inside.  They were going to give me a test.  One of the men asked me if I knew what E95 was.  I asked him if he meant the gasoline E85 and he just asked me if I was taking notes or not.  This got me so angry I gave him the finger and walked out.  When I got in the road it felt so good to just be in the fresh air.

Working on electronics equipment

I was working in a large room with racks of electronic equipment.  It was older equipment that had lots of backplane pins sticking out.  We were trying to figure out what the problem was.  I was working with two other guys and I was the new guy.  They did not respect my opinion very much.  We walked down some stairs to find one of the racks was not seated very well.  It had a connector with pins and needed to be reseated and then screwed in.  I remember we commented that is the connector had a ridge around it it would not come loose so often.  I was given the job of putting the rack back in place and tightening the screws while the two other guys went up the stairs.

Fire at my old house

I was at my old house and there was a large fire pit in the back yard.  The pit was about 20 by 20 yards and about 4 feet deep.  It was full of scrap lumber and parts for a wall that had been pulled out of the house.  Nobody was around and the wood was smoldering.  I decided to put the fire out since it could have easily spread to the house.  I moved some of the wood around and the flames shot up.  I had a hose and sprayed it into the fire.  I could see right in to the hottest part of the fire and aimed the hose there.  The fire went out but came right back twice as big.   The people who own the house now come home and started complaining about me putting the fire out.  I showed them the piece of wood that was leaning against the house.  If I had not put the fire out it would have crawled right up the wood and set fire to the house.  Just then the wall that was in the fire flipped over and fell against a wooden deck that was attached to the house.  The fire was very hot and no matter how much water I sprayed on it it kept burning.
