More Weird Dreams...
I've used this as a place to journal dreams before, and I hope that you who read this will perhaps comment and help me to figure these out.
I had two dreams that I remember last night. They were pretty much a continuation of each other, but I did wake up in the middle when my first alarm went off.
The first dream was at an Academy-esque setting. Tons of Coast Guard cadets (didn't know any of them) were lined up, and it was a "family day" scenario. They were generally dressed in a sweatshirt and sweat pants, but many were not in any uniform of any kind. The fourth class still bussed around when they went somewhere. The actual location was different than CGA, though. I had somehow gotten there by riding with Lindy Robinett, and I went inside to see if I could find Mika, Crystal, and Christie. They had presentations, etc. going on. I eventually found Mika, and we hugged and talked for a minute. We saw a cadet come out of the building we were standing in front of and tell an officer that he was needed right away. They left, and then Mika left, and I went in to see what all else was going on. There was an officer giving story time in a small auditorium. I tried to go to the back, but there was a lady who wouldn't move when I tried to get past. Half of her was in the aisle and I couldn't squeeze through. I didn't ask her to move, and I had been pushing her on a little bit to try to get through. Eventually I just sat down a row down from her on the other side of the aisle.
I don't remember the story, but there were a lot of kids surrounding him. I got up and saw that a family of four was sitting where I had originally intended to sit. I then realized that I had lost my ride, and that my phone was in the car. So, I thought that I would go look for her because whe couldn't call me. As I went outside, I ran into Mika again and she offered to help me look. (Alarm #1) We headed up a hill to the parking lot, and couldn't see the car. She mentioned that her dad may have gotten there. We went up to a small store, and sure enough he was there. She ran up and in through a glass door that said "Rules" on it. I, on the other hand, walked straight through an open glass door that was touching the first one but was situated perpendicular to it (kind of like two sides of a cube). The door I went through was facing the parking lot that we had come up and the one she entered was facing the street that served as the entrance to the lot.
When I got in, the store was pretty dismal - cement walls with little to nothing on them. There was stuff behind the ocunter that a lady was manning. When I walked in, Richard said, "Hello there, corporate." I didn't quite hear, so I asked and they both said it to me. Then, as I looked more at the store, I saw a small open cardboard box on the counter with a bunch of dry sponge and paper crosses in it. Then I woke up from alarm #2.
I'm thinking that the dream may be speaking of where my life is at and where I should be. I felt pretty dry yesterday spiritually, and I haven't been doing all that much spiritually lately. Or perhaps it's indicative of the "religious" face that people see on me. Also, the "corporate" statement could have been indicative of my current doubts about what to do and either others' perceptions of me (whether real or imagined by me) or how I will probably actually become if I choose that path after college. I don't really know right now. Those are just some ideas that I've had about it this morning.
