Okay, I was napping this evening and had the following vignettes in my dreaming. I'm not sure of the order, exactly, but all of these things were there and seem significant. By the way, I used to frequently dream that I am backing up my car and not able to stop using the breaks. Nothing bad ever happens, but I always feel out of control and helpless. I don't know if these are related to that dream theme or not.
Here goes:
I was on a bus full of people, some of whom seated near me were in conflict (perhaps it was Babble? :).....). Anyway, the bus had to make an unexpected, perhaps due to an emergency, stop. When everyone was getting off, I accused the people next to me of stealing my coat, because I couldn't find it.
My sister and I were "escaping" or "running away" from something in a big balloon. It didn't feel life threatening, more like making a get away. It zoomed very fast up and across the land. I said to my sis, "How will we ever stop this thing and get down?" Somehow, we kind of crash landed along a highway shoulder, skidding along the sound barrier. I think we were unhurt, but then it shifted again.
I was hang-gliding or parachuting or something. Whatever it was, it was designed so that you could do somesaults in the air while holding onto the two ropes. Clutzy me, I managed to get a shorter rope, perhaps a pull cord? tangled around a skinny branch of a tall tree with few branches. I came to a stop and was clinging to the tree with my arms and legs, wondering how I was going to get down. (oh, this just made me think of a prior dream with a similar dilemma..have to share this with T)...anyway, there was a man, perhaps my hubby, but it didn't look like him. I trusted him. He also was hang gliding, and he "landed" in the tree next to me and prepared to get to the ground somehow so that when I shimmied down, he could break my inevitable fall.
Last, I was driving my car off of my exit for home, and the knob for the gear shift came off. I tried to put it back on, and ended up breaking off the entire shifter at the base. (oh my, the images...). I magaged to shift the stub into third gear, but I was just crying and ranting at this point since I'd had such a bad day.
That's all I remember. About the only thing I can think of is that no matter what method I take, I am going nowhere!
But I welcome anyone else's interpretations.
Thanks,
