An "At home, but ought to be at (high) school" dream (an on-going anxiety/performance anxiety series). Except, for the first time, I noted to myself that I could drive one of the two cars I have access to, to get there — no need to catch a bus! Was quite chuffed about that.

Early evening dream: Out driving in my hometown, going from one event back to my home to get something; saw a cop with lights on behind, pulled over, thinking it was for me, realized I didn't seem to have my glasses on, figured I'd get dinged for that, but the cop never showed up.

Was in a schooling/dorm situation. Unfamiliar roommates; at one point was out and about, concerned about getting back in time for classes, etc. Then was back at the dorm, worrying about getting dressed, IIRC.

Some weird scenario where there was some airlock type of set-up (possibly a portal access), and someone was going to let these fierce wolf-like creatures in; I got the impression (whether rightly or wrongly) that they might kill ya pretty easily; nevertheless, I ended up interacting with one or two of them by going inside. I think it was one adult and a pup; possibly another one was going to be 'let through', perhaps the female/mother?

Been avolitional about recording any dream recall here (not that I've had much at all, mind, but still, what little scraps I had, no motivation to record).

But this morning at long last, woke from a dream of traveling somewhere outside. There was a large hill (something about the surroundings reminded me of part of the hill in my neighborhood on which a local apple orchard is planted — called Fay Mountain farm) that included some sort of built-in slide structure, down which I slid (in stages). Sort of an escalator-like look at the very bottom. 

NGL; was pretty cool.

Not much detail; urban (some interiors) wanderings.

Unpleasant dreams just prior to waking (low blood sugar, maybe?). Apparently observing someone else's travails — at least two people (a male and female) in some vertical tunnel or maybe in an elevator shaft? Atop the elevator car? Wasn't clear. It might be that several others were attempting to climb up to join them. Seemed to see a couple of 'scenes' of one or two attempting it, then failing (and obviously falling and being killed, though 'off screen'). Eg: a scream, suddenly cut off. One of those who'd made it and who were trying to help the others expressing their horror and disappointment. Someone flinching their head away, someone holding up the broken end of a rope. That sort of thing. It was almost a collection of visual film tropes.

Weird music-mash of Anxiety imagery, I guess, mostly pulled from media/reading before bedtime.

Had that 'am I just seeing or part of this?' POV confusion.

A woman (seemed to be central Asian) was essentially kidnapped (not necessarily literally, maybe more really strong-armed into it) into working in a particular lab, maybe as a grad student or assistant. Or maybe it WAS literal kidnapping; not clear. Akin to becoming enslaved, perhaps like indentured servitude (was reading about that yesterday evening.)

In addition, some really villainous antagonist male sent one woman either in his employ or 'enslaved' to him to deliver some device that had a good chance of killing another guy (who may have been MY boyfriend/fiancé! Don't have one!) This was where the POV confusion set in. This plot may have been an attempt to get rid of anyone who might look for me (i.e., I may have been an 'enslaved' character, too.)

I do know I tried to convince her to turn on the antagonist and NOT do his bidding (or, to technically do it, and thus keep out of trouble, but warn the fiancé so that the operation would be sabotaged, and wouldn't succeed). I also spoke to the antagonist, who may have been the (apparently really autocratic) head of the lab, and told him to his face that the evil plan that he was demanding, was 'nothing'. Note that I wasn't calling HIM 'nothing', but his deeds. I was really Sneering defiantly, though.

Starting to sound (a bit embarrassingly) like a Bollywood thriller.

Seemed to be caught up being a side character in a Buffy episode. Some other character, first an antagonist (maybe, or maybe I just assumed her to be, since I guess she made me uneasy) then brought on board as one of the 'gang' (not main protagonist, but 'around') seemed to be an 'invisible' character (like one in an actual episode), but not that exact same one. I seemed to have warned 'the gang' about her, whereupon they left en masse to retrieve her.

When they returned and she was then there, I was inside a house, looking out an (open?) window. I may have been trying to open/manipulate it, had a bit of trouble at one point. Anyway, she was outside, dithering about. There was also another person (unknown male) a bit further away, but still 'around'. Both she and I saw something happening at a fence around some (garden?) area. We both saw a chipmunk pop out of a hole near some shrubbery, and immediately after, a (to me, visibly angry or annoyed - not sure why I could detect that as I was a fair distance away, in the house) rabbit. I noted, amused (not sure if just to myself, silently, or to both of us), that the rabbit had just chased the chipmunk out of its burrow, hence its obvious angry attitude.

Then we both also saw a snake, also hanging about in that grass/weeds/small shrubs running along the fence line. Again, I was far enough away so that it was odd that I could see some of the details I became aware of. Did the other women show them to me, or otherwise communicated them? Was my eyesight better? At any rate, we could both see that the snake was a normal, small garden variety snake, not unusually large that I recall. But she had distention near her end. Rightly or wrongly, I took that to mean that she was 'pregnant' - I assumed, about to lay eggs or something.

Noting this, I then joked to the other, formerly 'invisible' and intimidating (to me) woman that she (the snake) 'could go have brunch in Black Rock'. It was a genuine sarky witticism, and we were both amused.

Thing is, the joke I made only makes sense in the context of where I used to live for a decade, isn't even relevant to where I relocated to for the past couple of years.

Spent time in an interior, where I was wondering briefly if there might be a little corner (like a mini office or even just a cubby) that I might call my own. School or office type feeling. Then I went down lower in the building, looking to ask for help of some kind (don't recall exactly what) from some 'risky' character(s). They reminded me of Marvel 'baddies' - or at least some of the antagonist characters. Potentially (very) dangerous, but if you approached them in the right way, when they were in a good mood...they might help you out. Before I woke, hadn't reached the person(s) I was looking to talk to (we're talking Magneto-type level characters), but one big guy passing in the hall greeted me with some blend of "Haven't seen you in a long time; where/how ya been?" mild affection. So apparently these more risky types 'knew' me, or at least recognized I existed.

Some classroom setting; I attended a lecture, where the instructor started to talk about a topic, then ran out of time for that session. After an apparent time jump, we were meeting again (the next day?) and the instructor proceeded to call on me to answer a question about yesterday's topic (I guess we were supposed to have researched it?). I hadn't, but recalled what had begun to be said yesterday and was preparing to BS my way through an answer, when I woke up. The topic involved the symbolism of the rose.

(After I woke up enough, you bet your sweet chunk I looked it up for real). It's had many 'meanings', but spiritually it appears to relate to Balance.)

Does that specific 'meaning' have any relevance for me personally? Mayyyybeee.

Tags:

Urban wanderings, partly outside, partly in an interior. Sense of maybe looking for a parking spot at one point, not sure I should park exactly there.(New dream trope label: 'Social Anxiety'). In other words, anxiety about doing the wrong thing and possibly pissing off the neighborhood. Not tribe, because, especially urban, we often don't know them, but can make things miserable if we burn our bridges and alienate them. Sometimes does'nt take much.

At one point, outside, was seeing people getting on urban mass transportation (trolley or commuter train?) Young people may have grabbed onto the outside of a train, maybe via the door handles? They seemed to be taking a chance, hanging on while the streetcar/train started. But may not have been as risky as it looked. Plus, that kind of behavior is a young-person's pastime.

I also wandered an interior, and may have commandeered a bathroom that I wasn't initially given access to (so, may have been in a boarding house type of building). Felt bit naughty and clever. Stopped to check out what I assumed was a closet door, found a wall behind it (as if former storage area walled off, though sloping so that there was a few inches of edge of floor at the bottom, but none at the top).

Additional dreams included feeling 'On the Run' from authorities in an urban setting, perhaps a hotel or other public access building. In that 'stay one step ahead' kind of feeling.

Tags:

Was in an (unrecognized) interior. Had that 'shouldn't be here' sense, that I was trespassing. I accidentally made some mess (perhaps knocked something over), in a cabinet, perhaps a sink or storage cabinet. I was cleaning it up, as if attempting leave things so no one would know I'd been there, when my niece showed up, conversing energetically to me (did this mean i was in her school?)

Tags:

May have been hanging out with a friend; some 'somebody' character - as in high-status, maybe an Elon-Musk-level type - seemed very amused by something I said (found it funny), and briefly flung his arms around me (and partly my friend with whom I'd been interacting with). Then he swanned off.

Tags:

One of those POV-confusion (was I involved or just observing?) dreams. Some guys who were good friends were quite chuffed about a (Christmas?) ornament they'd had made, commemorating said friendship - a large, metal plaque type, with a name on each side. It was way too large for the usual size Christmas tree.

Probably related, though maybe a different 'scene', was a sense of hearing someone explain some of the custom/etiquette of gift-giving to another person. One person wanted to send Christmas gift, but perhaps not at the right time. Someone was trying to get across that it was normally supposed to be given on or before the day itself. (My family's custom; not a universal rule, mind. There was a falling -out in my family way in the past, due to late Christmas gifts, with it being assumed it had been a deliberate slight, which may be where this element came from.)

One of those scenarios where I seemed to be in my childhood house in the dining room, yet also in some story line from a favorite TV program, in this case Blake's Seven.

I was sat at one end of the dining room table, with some guy (a stranger to me) and some companion or a friend of his being set at the other end, but with one seeming to be clinging to the othe,r as if in distress or fear. I got that after some event or operation, people were being teleported back up to the Liberator, but not necessarily everyone. Hence the distress of the people across from me. Perhaps there was a dangerous situation occurring and those left behind would be dead meat.

At any rate, Vila suddenly walked up to me and slipped some kind of marker (it was rectangular, with a little rectangular handle/tab sticking out of it, and some sort of sticky surface) on the back of one of my hands. This, rather than a bracelet as in the show, was the marker that would allow me to be teleported. I was totally chuffed, to realize I was considered useful or worth bringing up. My dream recall ends as I was apparently being teleported up; I had no view of wherever I was ending up.

Slightly earlier dream: Seemed to be at a craft fair in some interior, enjoyed looking around. At one table a person whose stuff I really liked was packing up, to my disappointment. But not everyone stays multiple days at a craft fair, or even until the very end of the day. Saw some people who just seemed sat on the floor in an area, around which the tables stood.

Some interior interactions - seemed to be my current home, and talking to my Dad - except I seemed to be recommending fraud to him! Something to the effect of, "You should try fraud; it's great!" He seemed to be a Grifter type, and I seemed to be encouraging further bad behavior! Well weird.

Yeah, you'd think I'd have more recalled dreams during a pandemic; nope.

Bad style of Anxiety dream - the 'Forget you have baby to take care of' dream.

Was mucking about in an interior, but I may have been male in this one. Seemed to have two female babies/children (and to know this, and be happy/content about it); but suddenly realized (with a kind of dull horror / confusion) that supposedly I had a male baby, too.

Whom I'd completely 'forgotten' about. He was (probably) in a room somewhere at hime...except I hadn't even thought about him in....weeks? Months?

Surely (if I were the only one responsible for him), he'd starved/died...? How could this have happened / been allowed to happen?

And all I did was think abut how I had better check (as uncomfortable as this all was/would be) when I got home. Not even asking for a reality check instantly.

I Hate this type of dream. I think it's a deep-seated self-accusation of Incompetence, and that I have it when I feel I'm Losing the Thread.

Vague, but seemed to have some mucking about in an interior (possibly hospital-ish); the 13th (! current!) Doctor (and possibly some of her fam; not clear) may have been involved. (Seeing the BBC's 13th Doctor's PSA yesterday undoubtedly led to this imagery.)

Urban traveling dream. Involved some of the usual wandering tropes for me - seemed to be driving somewhere; started down a highway in the wrong direction at one point.

Seemed to have a traveling companion; some guy, who seemed a bit on the mischievous side.

At one point, the fellow fell or jumped into a puddle /small sinkhole and completely disappeared. I in effect rolled my eyes (as if I knew he were fooling around) and reached in to fish him out again, in a 'Right; knock it off...' manner.

Arrived late to a class where we were doing a quiz or test - was having trouble working on it -the usual School Anxiety scenario. Unusually, though, the professor was the Finnish Art Dept. chair from my undergrad - under whom I'd never taken a class at that time. Also, wasn't sure if it was an art class or music.

Fortunately, he didn't seem too put out when he arrived and I wasn't done. (That fact almost perturbed me when I awoke - perhaps I wanted an excuse to just give up (and feel like a failure))?
