Termites, Ferrets and Dracula?

I had a wild and random cast of characters in last night's dream. The first thing I can remember was being in a room with a yellow light, sort of like the light in a film developing room. There were glass rooms inside that room that seemed to each be individually owned. I had one and there was a man that seemed to have some kind of controlling interest in the glass rooms. He went into mine and said that it was infested with termites. I think they were something like giant glass cages because mine had a ferret in it. And, most people who know me, know that I hate ferrets ever since one bit me when I was a tween. Anyway, I went into my cage to check things out and the termites got on me. I couldn't get them off of me no matter how hard I tried. I tried to shake them off, slap them off, rub and even rinse them off. Nothing seemed to work. There was a celebrity in my dream but, for the life of me, I can't remember who it was.
The next part of my dream, that I can remember, was in a hospital or medical center of some sort. I was there for myself and a few friends. When it came time for me to get my checkup I managed to piss the doctor off somehow. I remember telling her about my acid reflux than for some reason she made me leave. I went out into a large waiting area that looked more like something you would see in a mall or something. There was a huge water fountain or something and there were actors in it dressed like vampires and Dracula and they were doing synchronized swimming. There were children and adults in this "scene" and one of the adults, who may have been the main character, knew all the patients names. He would say something to each patient and call them by name. He got my friend's name right, which I can't recall now, but when it came time for him to say something to me, he called me Cookie, which is not my name.
So, that is all I remember from my dream. There was a lot going on in that one.

Ships Ahoy...SOS

I was in charge of rescuing myself and a ship full of people in last night's dream. Unfortunately, I waited too long to retell this dream today so, I have already forgotten most of it. I don't know why I had to rescue us. It doesn't seem that the ship was sinking. It seems as though there was some outside danger, like people who were trying to harm the ship and all of its occupants. And, I can't recall what my plan was to save our ship but, I had one and was in the process of enacting my plan when I was awakened by my dog barking at my neighbors. Given that I woke up before the heroic or tragic end of my dream, I am choosing the believe that I was successful in rescuing everyone.

A Burlesque Show?

Yup...you read that right. Part of my dream last night, really the only part that I can remember, was a Burlesque Show with one of my ex-co-workers and some of her friends. It was in kind of a Victorian looking house or some sort. I was the only one there watching and it was short and we all left right afterward. And, no clothes were removed so, perhaps it wasn't really a Burlesque Show. Although, I think I recall that they were all in Lingerie type costumes. I think there were about 5 women total. And other than them telling me they each made $500.00 for that 3 minute routine, that is really all I can remember. I know there was a lot more to the dream but, I don't recall any more details. I have to wonder if, given that I love to dance, maybe the thought of making money for it made its way into my dreams. However, I don't pretend to be good at dancing and, the older I get, the worse I am. I am clumsy and quite uncoordinated these days so, why that would be anywhere near a consideration, even if only in my dreams, is beyond me.

A Concert?

I think last night's dream was in some kind of amphitheater or concert hall but, no event ever transpired. But, here are all the details I can remember. My hair was really short and sort of a coppery red which I remember being a bit sad about because I really don't like myself with short hair and I couldn't figure out why I had decided to cut it short. And, it seems to me that my hair wasn't short and red until just before it was time to leave the concert hall. I was there with a group of friends whom I kept losing. I also saw a few old high school friends there. One was one of my best friends from elementary school, named Heather and Donna, a high school friend was there too. There was a blond guy there whom I don't recognize now but seemed to know in my dream and he seemed younger than me. There was a kitten in my dream at some point and I can't recall what role it played in my dream, only that there was one. I kept switching seats, as did my friends and, for some reason, that seems to happen a lot in my dreams. Like I am never satisfied with where I am or am never in the right spot or area. At one point, it was time to go and one of my friends and I found ourselves stuck in a house that may have been surrounded by water. We couldn't figure out how to get out of there and I felt a sense of danger from the men that were in that part of the dream. There were some dogs and a few women who I have a vague recollection were trying to keep my friend and me there. There was some construction going on in and around the house. These are all the details that I can remember. My dreams seem to be very disorganized and full of random people and places that never really connect to anything.

Too Much Stress

I think last night's dream stems from my last work experience. I was at a my job. I am currently out of work so, this is a totally fictional one. It was a pretty big office with lots of people. In fact, it was so big that I kept getting lost when I would try to find my desk. At one point, I was at someone else's desk going through my purse and doing my makeup. I was also going through my purse looking for some other stuff too. I kept getting yelled at by my boss who was unnecessarily hard on everyone. My boss at my last job was like that. No matter how hard we worked and how well we did, we were never good enough for her. So, I think that that situation has weaved itself into my psyche and I can expect to have many dreams in my future, just like last night's. The difference between my dream me and my reality me is that, I wouldn't have been at my desk, or someone else's, doing my makeup. I get my hair and makeup done at home before I go to work because I see no reason why I can't get up in time to do all of the prep stuff before I head for work. Sorry...that is a pet peeve of mine. Anyway, the dream ended when one of my co-workers and my boss were standing in her door yelling across the office for me to come to them. I was in trouble and, while I think I knew why in my dream, I can't recall why now.
Other than this vague sense that I was working for a newspaper or some piece of written material and that the office was nice but was a cube farm, I can't recall anything else about my dream. I just know that it stressed me out and has put me in a little bit of a mood today.

Slashed Tires...

Last night's dream is another blur, for the most part. But, I'll do my best to provide as much detail as I can recall.
It seems I was at school again and yet, I also seemed to be either at my house or my parent's house...or a combination of the two.
One part seemed to be in a cafeteria. At one point, there was a guy laying down on the floor with his legs against a wall, smoking a cigar and drinking some kind of alcohol, which seemed to be a no-n0 because I remember wondering how he was getting away with it.
The last, and most dominant thing I remember was my brother-in-law coming into the house and telling me that his tires on his truck had been slashed. I ran out to the garage and the driveway and all tires on all four cars were slashed. By all four cars, I mean mine, my hubby's, the bro-in-law's and my father-in-law's cars all had slashed tires. My father-in-law was nowhere in my dream but, he was there somewhere...or at least, his car was.
That's it. I woke up and that is all I can remember.

Back to School

Last night's dream took me back to college in a very weird, random way. First, I came across a girl who, from what I remember, had been yelled at by a professor who then broke her glasses somehow so that she couldn't see very well and was having a hard time finding her class. She had a bunch of notes and was looking for room 250. I took pity on her and helped her find her classroom only, I ended up getting her to room 213 which, seemed like the right classroom but the wrong number. I don't really know how or why...just one of those knowing without knowing things that happens in a dream. I had some of her notes in my hand when I left her in the classroom and forgot to give them back so, for the rest of the dream, I had this need to keep her notes and not lose track of them or leave them anywhere.
Next, I came across what seemed to be a large hallway or something where students could hang out and there was a man with a kitten, a tiger and a dog. My Dad was in this part of the dream and the Tiger bit him. I had a desire to pet the tiger but, didn't end up doing so and walked away after briefly speaking to someone about it. Forgive me but, a lot of my dream was vague and sporadic.
From there, if I remember the sequence right, I was somewhere with my Mom who told me she would pay for something if I would take care of the rest of my school needs. I don't recall what she offered to pay for but, she seemed annoyed.
Next up in this extremely nonsensical dream was a pool where I hung out with one of my friends from high school. I know there was way more to that portion of the dream but, I have forgotten most of it. Although, I seem to have a sense of some kind of creature in that part of the dream as well.
I also recall a part of the dream where I was going down stairs and wandering through halls with a group of people in search of something. And, the girl I helped in the beginning was always in the back of my mind.
I know there was a lot more to this dream, including driving somewhere with my Mom. But, a lot of the details are fuzzy. So, unless I can recall more later, that is all I have to tell.
