The Scary Man and the Sparks

I was in a bathroom in someone's house. There was a big, tall scary black man trying to get me and some other people. We heard him coming and I ducked into the shower. Suddenly the light fixture started showering hot sparks on us. The people in the room with me ran out under the sparks, but I pushed myself further back into the shower. The sparks stopped and I heard the man entering the bathroom. The space I was in was very small and I was sucking in my stomach and squeezing up against the wall, hoping he couldn't see me. He turned to chase after the other people and I stepped out and called to him. He came toward me and I grabbed him and started kissing him. I thought I could make him like me and forget about hurting us.

Marco and the Fried Fish

I was at Marco's house with Susan. His house was a mess, but he was trying really hard to impress me. I was cleaning up his bedroom while he was in the kitchen making breakfast. He called me in to eat and the table was set with pretty plates and cloth napkins. I had fried a whole fish the night before and he was serving that with bacon and sausage. I told him that Susan was a vegetarian and he looked really crestfallen. I sat down and ate some bacon. We left the house and were walking down a dirt road in the snow. Suddenly I remembered Susan and asked him if she was still at his house. He told me that his roommates would take care of her. We walked a long way and then went back to the house. Susan was asleep in a bedroom.

Swingers

Heather Cook and her husband came over to my house for dinner. They casually revealed that they were swingers when Heather took off her shirt and paraded around topless. In my dream, I went to bed and told them they could sleep in the guest room. In reality, I woke up from my dream and actually had to check the guest room to make sure they weren't there.

Working at the Y

I was working at the Y at the front desk. A Japanese man stepped up to the counter to enroll in swim lessons and Jenny passed him off to me. The man said something in Japanese to his friend, but I could tell he was mad that Jenny didn't want to help him. Jenny said to him, "You intimidate me and I don't want to mess up your account." He set a tray of candies on the counter and pushed it toward me. Most of the holes had a candy in them, but a few did not. I took that to mean that he wanted to enroll in swim lessons for all of the holes that had candy in them. Somehow I knew how they corresponded to the lessons we offered. I started enrolling him and Jenny pointed out the weird payments in his journal. I got all of the lessons entered and then he told me that the empty holes represented the lessons he wanted, not the full holes. I said, "It would have been nice if you'd told me that first." I left the front desk to go into the women's locker room. I changed into my swimsuit and got into the pool for a quick dip. As I was getting out of the pool I looked down and saw that my boobs were popping out of my suit and you could see my nipples. I went back into the locker room and noticed children everywhere. I started herding them out and telling parents that this locker room was only for women over 18. One woman had 6 kids with her and I said, "You did this last week and we told you the rules. You may not bring your children in here. You can use the family locker room. There are naked women in here!" It seemed like the more kids I got out of the locker room, the more they came in. I finally gave up and went back to the front desk in my swimsuit with my hair wet.

Village Green

I was in Ft. Collins visiting Village Green pool. It had been remodeled and was now an indoor pool. The tennis courts had been converted into a diving area. Very modern and nice, but I missed the old pool. I was talking to someone and asking them about the renovations, and they told me that the old pool was still there, it was just behind the new one. We walked around a corner and there it was! It was like seeing an old friend. Then I saw David Gray and said, "What are you doing here?" He told me he was coaching a team. I said, "This is my pool from when I was growing up!" He was surprised and let me show him around.

Travels in Russia

This dream is a compilation of thinking about Holly traveling around the world and reading about Ayla and Jondalar. I was in either Russia or Africa - it kept changing - and I was traveling with a group of people across a barren plain. We were walking. Very fuzzy, but I remember being captured and put into a giant net with other people. The net was lowered into a river inside a factory. There were dead people in the net and body parts floating by. A man was screaming to be let out. I told someone that I hated Russia.
