Um, what?

It was very early in the morning - just barely light out. I was down at the bottom of the hill in a tent. I was looking up at the top of the hill, where the house is, but the hill was humongous, and instead of the house there was a boulder. Hunter was up there, and in the pre-dawn light, I could just see him silouette. I was yelling and waving for him to come down the hill. He ran down and then I started breastfeeding him. he had just started again, I don't know why I had milk, but I did, and it felt just like nursing a newborn, when you're over the whole "how the fuck do i do this" stage and are just filled with a sense of purpose - "my body makes food for my baby all by its self!" Then Sandra showed up and asked if it was okay to nurse when I was taking medication. This hadn't occurred to me, but I still answered, "Oh, of course, you can take loads more than I do and still nurse, it's fine!" Then I walked up to Deb's house with Sandra and Liam and Heather, Heather was about 2 and running around and dressed in a fancy red wool coat, but she still didn't have any hair. Sandra was telling me that she and Heather had to leave, they were taking the first boat off-island. Liam was staying with me. I didn't know if we had planned this in advance or she was just dumping him on me at the last minute. I pretended i knew he was coming, because i didn't want to look like an idiot if I had just forgotten.
We went back to the barn, or into the carriage house. There were all these huge pieces of artwork leaning up against the walls - deep shades of blue, looked like ginormous slides?

Laughing


Of course I can't remember what we were laughing about - I couldn't even remember as soon as I woke up. But twice in one night I had dreams that I was laughing really hard, like harder-than-I-ever-laughed-harder-than-I-ever-laughed laughing. Once I was in my house, downstairs with a bunch of other moms, and Nya Clark was saying something funny and we were laughing and Marcy was telling us to be quiet because we would wake up Hunter and Emmett.

Then later I was just by myself, laughing at something I had said or thought. I woke up right after that one and I couldn't remember what was so funny.
So, was anything really funny? Or did I just laugh?

Evil Bunny Dinosaurs


I remembered!!


I was cleaning out Jawsy's cage, and she was hopping all around the garden. Wild bunnies came in and were trying to get into the cage. I was trying to shoo them away, but they were big and mean and mangy looking. I went to look for Jawsy, I was just going to bring her into the house, to make sure she was safe while I figured out what to do with the mean bunnies. But then there were these black and white fuzzy little dinosaurs - about the size of a sheep and with the head plate thing, like a triceratops. They seemed fairly docile, but I was afraid of provoking them somehow. I couldn't figure out what they were, but for some reason, I thought they were offspring of the wild bunnies?

poor doggies makin' me feel GUILTY


Travelled to my Hawaii with Mom and Sarah...we snorkled where there were no fish, and there were driving a rental car and I sat in the back with a blond-bearded dude on my legs and I had to ask him to move. We pulled into our hotel where Mom sarah and I and that guy were staying, and it turns out he was a weirdo trying to break into our car and amost ruined our vacation. At one of the random places we visited as tourists ...we walked into the room and I thought that we walked into a funeral, and there was a small white coffin and I was like what the hell are we doing at a baby's funeral in Hawaii and then I looked and it had a live baby in it and was just a bassinette(sp?) Where were we......? Then I went to look for a joint to smoke and my mother yelled at me for being someone looking for nothing but sex and drugs and a good time(?)

Last night I dreamed I was supposed to watch the wards three dogs at their house while they were away...but they had a new dog and kept two dogs in the cellar, but at the end of my time watching the dogs I remembered the two dogs in the cellar who had stayed down there, silent, for days and just before the wards were going to return I remembered them and opened the cellar door and they came running out, starved and peeing like racehorses in the corner of the kitchen. I felt So terrible but also grateful that I got away with it and didn't get caught. At one point the door opened to their house and it looked out onto a yard that looked like Boston Common and there were cops there calling to Monty, who had run out of the house and was sitting in the front yard, and he was a ... chihuahua?

Pot plants and getting lost


Going to visit friends - Joe and Jenelynn? But then we were at my house, only it wasn't my house. I had to go to the garden center to pick up plants, and I couldn't tell which ones were the pot plants. The saleswoman told me which ones, but I didn't believe her, they looked like scallions.

At a big house on the island - I've had dreams about this house before. There are actually several houses, all owned by one family, and we are caretakers for them, and sort of friends, but we aren't allowed to be there in the summer, or when other people are staying there. So I am in the front yard (looks like Lambert's Cove in) and people are arriving, so I have to leave. I had a good reason to be there, but no one who is there now knows me, and I know they will give me a hard time if they see me. So I have to get to the back of the house to get back to my house and the only way to do that is to go through the house. I walk in fairly confident that I can quickly find my way out the back, but there are all these staircases and corridors and I don't really know where I'm going but I have to keep moving because I hear voices all over the house and I don't want them to catch me.

I am finally near the back door, but then a group of old British people comes in the door wearing swimsuits and I have to hide again. I'm thinking it would have been better to just talk to them outside when they first got there.
