Another Store or Classroom

Had a dream that I was going to take over a store - looked more like a classroom. There were kids trying to decide where something was going to go or what a pet or an item was going to be called. My business partner was trying to interfere, but I told him that I think the kids should decide. The guy seemed to be like a Mark Wahlberg type - being a little overly aggressive with the students and the teacher - saying, you guys can't decide what "it's" called. There was a thin USB drive shaped wrapper - clear plastic, but still had some tiny circuit path on the end that I remember trying to fit into a slot near where they were trying to name something, but I didn't think it would work so I carried it with me.

The wall desks or cabinet tables were piled with what appeared to be Apple boxes - laptops or something, but I knew they would eventually be taken away so that I could run my place. I did worry for a moment if someone would break in and try to steal something before we could take over completely. Were there sinks and bunsen burners and gas lines on the tables? Like science class?

*That group of children sorta reminded me of the kids I saw in green shirts on the corner of 7th Ave and Irving (this part actually happened - not in a dream). They were on some kind of field trip and the cops had come by to get lunch and they said hello as the kids waited at the crosswalk. Some of them were crying for some reason. I thought they were cute and thought of XQ. especially when I saw this couple walking by - an asian woman and a white man - who had two beautiful looking daughters. I think I'm being shown how wonderful kids can be. Because on the way back from yoga I saw an asian family with two little ones - a little girl and an even younger boy - and the dad asked the kids if they wanted to see hop and they got so excited! It was like a holiday, the idea of seeing the movie - and he also talked about seeing another kids movie...can't remember what it was, but they were so cute - how they felt so blessed to have such fun parents. Whatever the other movie was, the mom said, I dunno buddy, you might not be old enough for this one - to the little boy. It seemed like a playful negotiation. Who knows, it may have been a warning to the dad - not to be so cool and wind up making a villain out of the mother when she says no.

I think I was with a girl - can't really remember who, but we were on a date or something. And the teacher was the most difficult to see - she sorta blended into the group of children as a sort of taller lump that was directing them as they tried to name the _____.

*My dad - for years - kept spinning stories and trying to sell us on how safe, brilliant, perfect and wonderful our lives were because of his success - and I wanted to be able to chime in and share my success so that it could look like I was contributing. But you can't just saunter off into the sunset without first facing the shadows that are eating at your heals - preparing to destroy you with the worm.

I remember setting down a red orb looking thing that had little raised bumps all around it - like one of those toys - rubber and bouncy, but the nubbyness of the entire surface would have made it roll funny. It was on some kind of square base that made it sorta look like it was supposed to be a trophy, but I don't think anything was written on it. When I set it down, I tried to align it with something, but it wouldn't stay straight. And then I think it sorta went from bright red to darker and darker and maybe even black as I left it - crooked - by the pile of Apple boxes - that now I'm thinking may have been empty.

I had the keys to the place and had inspected it - but then I came back later because I was going to show it to someone. There were uncertain feelings - and light thoughts of maybe I was doing something slightly against the rules or something like that.

And then there was the restaurant where I ordered something for lunch and then came back later to order something else for dinner. Not a lot of options on the menu, but I did find two slightly different things that I wanted. I think the place was in a mall. The menu was a rectangular one like in that Japanese Shabu Shabu restaurant by XQ's house. It may have been a burger place at first, and then it may have been a Thai restaurant...haven't been to one in a while.

I think the girl that was taking my order might have been cute because it's possible that I had gone back to check her out again. I remember saying, there really isn't much to choose from here...

I ordered what I wanted and the sorta empty cafe-like place morphed into more of a bakery. I asked if they or she had any snacks to choose from. She showed me things that were behind glass all around the room - and at first I thought I was looking at food and then at cushions or binders of different dark colors. And then I said, so the rest of the selections are photo albums - and indeed behind the glass in the theatre-like cafe cases were rows upon rows that covered and entire wall on the other side - of photo albums. All of them were empty and I wasn't sure why suddenly I was looking at all of these photo albums when I was supposed to getting a dessert or snack in addition to my dinner - and it turns out I don't think I even wanted it. I had just been curious...

At some point along this journey I ran into GEO and he asked me about my process of journaling my dreams. In the dream I had 30 entries and he was curious about my habits - why I was doing what I was doing. He was particularly curious about my motive. I talked him through how I do my best to remember dreams in threes and then write them down before I forget them. He had a sort of glowing Cheshire Cat grin and glowing eyes as he asked me.

*I've noticed that I'm often tempted to return to sleep and let the dreams settle out of existence, but fortunately today I had the power to get up and remember these occurrences.
