Dream: Hurricane and Pig Tails
I had a couple unusual dreams today. To start, I had a dream that I was in some kind of building in a rather close-nit community and the wind suddenly picked up and rattled all the windows. We looked outside and observed that the wind had stirred leaves and sticks into the air within a fine mist. I mentioned to whoever was with me that it looked like a hurricane outside. Then I said, "this would be the first hurricane we've ever had."
We stepped outside to get a better view of what was going on. The enclosed courtyard we stepped out onto looked very much like the center of the academic quad at SUNY Albany's campus. Same steps dipping down into the center and white stone square look. We entered from a building to the south of this courtyard and then walked east to get a view to the south from the building. Spreading out from the south dark clouds stretched their arms up above us and filled the southern horizon. I then said, "this is only the beginning."
I have no idea where this hurricane dream came from, but I can say that clouds rolled in overnight last night, but that doesn't seem significant.
In a second dream, I was at a house party which seemed to be comprised of two homes put together. First the Messenger home and secondly the Schwenker residence. I imagine this imagery comes from the fact that Josh Messenger got married this summer and Dave Schwenker got married a couple weeks ago.
Toward the beginning of the dream, an older fellow greeted me rather warmly, and it seemed almost uncomfortable. I wasn't sure why, but some time passed between that greeting and when I went to use the restroom. When I finished using the toilet I washed my hands and took a look in the mirror. It was then I realized what just happened. I had extremely long blond hair tied into two pig tails and bangs in the front. I was also dressed rather unisexually. Looking at myself, I really had no features that blatantly stood out specifically being male. The pig tails were draped in front of each shoulder, which made things even less obvious.
After seeing myself looking completely feminine, I pulled my hair back then left the restroom. I took a few of what was left of the desserts that the Messenger family had set out in their half of this double house party. I then crossed over a threshold into another room which was clearly the Schwenker side of this party. They were moving couches and chairs around this rather open-layout room as we set up to watch a movie.
Still being disturbed by my image, I bobbed my head forward and let all my long hair dangle to toward the floor. I also observed either here or in the restroom that my hair came down to mid-chest. I was astonished at this because I knew that I just cut my hair about two and a half weeks ago prior to Dave's wedding. I started looking at my hair to see if I could see it growing because of how unnatural this was. 18 to 20 inches in two weeks was not possible.
I drew my hair back into one clump behind me hoping to ensure no one would mistake my identity again. Then we started the movie, whatever it was, and I woke from the dream.
I can pick up that this dream describes the two weddings to some degree. Josh's wedding came first historically and food was catered for us. The room in the dream was more contemporary, which matched the more typical banquet hall you'd expect at a wedding. Also, the desserts at Josh's wedding were especially memorable. The room relating to Dave's wedding was very rustic, much like the church building where the wedding occurred. They moved all the seating around after the ceremony to make it into a banquet hall, which is represented by the open layout and moving the furniture. There was a bar to one side of the room in the dream, and there was alcohol served at the wedding. Dave's wedding also seemed to provide more entertainment, and the food was set up pot-luck style rather than catered.
