DREAMS

[kalibex]

Stress dreams all night.

Being at my old workplace, walking down the corridor below the floor I actualy worked on and seeing my former boss down there, talking to another scientist in the lunch niche at the end of the hall (as he never did when I wo rked there). Me realizing it's him as I get close enough, not sure if he sees me, feeling extremely tense that I might be seen or somehow have to acknowledge or interact with him, barely making it to the woman's bathroom where I'm at least temporarily saf e.

Driving in my home town, coming up the double-lane highway, then turning onto the country road; realizing there's a trailer truck behind me; flooring the pedal as much as I can, realizing the truck's much too close, seeing a chance and pulling off ont o a shoulder, feeling the truck barely miss me as it whooshes by. Somehow finding myself next on the verge next to the turnpike, and trying to figure out how to get up the banking to the road I'm supposed to actually be on.

Something muddled about a union or some similar group; a small group of men meeting somewhere discussing upcoming union strategy; me seeing this. Me seing an advertisment, something on paper.

Being at my childhood home, and yet my parents were 'visiting'... Some problem or confusion regarding cats - I realized just as my folks showed up that some cats were missing, while other, new ones, 'strays' were lurking, yet looking kind of like the ones usually there. I got very confused but decided I obviously hadn't been taking care of my cat(s) properly if I couldn't even be sure how many I had/where they all were.
