College in Winter

My brain has been very busy at night this past week. I was having a conversation about this with my friend Roxie yesterday. My life has been very stressful this past week, yet my dreams have been fun-filled and super enjoyable. Her life has been hunky-dory lately and she continues to have bad dreams. Except for very rarely when I was a child, I really don't have bad dreams. I wonder why some people do and others don't. Either way, I told Roxie that my dreams have probably been so crazy and busy this past week because my brain has been trying to heal itself emotionally. I think it's working :-)

Three nights ago...

I had a dream that took place at my Alma Mater. I was there with my Boss (in real life). Together, she and I were designing and implementing the Winter Olympics. Yes, that's right. The Winter Olympics. At my teeny, tiny Alma Mater. We had blueprints and we were looking at them and determining where each event was going to take place. Then, we walked over to a spot where there was a giant, roller-coasted sized ice-luge set up. Boss was saying that we really should test it out to make sure athletes wouldn't get hurt on it so I told her I would be the guinea-pig. I went and got a sled and all my snow gear on and then I went ice-luging (is that a word?)

Two nights ago...

I once again had a dream that I was at my Alma Mater. Rather than being outside like in the previous dream, this one seemed to take place more in the academic/classroom buildings. I remember I kept looking at a wall (you know - where people posts flyers and ads) although I think I was looking at a schedule. I remember I was holding a lot of things in my arms and I knew I was very busy (sounds about right for my life right now!). A dark-haired guy came up to me (seemingly one of my college-mates) and said something to me like "oh you're back again? I'm so glad. I wanted to ask you out before but then we left and I never had the opportunity" (kind of implying I was back at college for round 2). I told him it was a sweet, appreciated compliment, but that I was seeing someone else.

One night ago...

This dream did not take place at college but rather...what seemed kind of like an abandoned office-type factory (I know, that seems like an oxymoron). I remember pulling into the parking lot and it was night time and very dark outside. I parked next to a truck and we were both parked in front of a retaining wall (and just beyond that was a grassy hill with a few trees). The parking lot was lit with street lamps. I was there to do something (although what that was, I'm not sure of now). I entered the building and roamed the halls for a little bit, since I was unsure of where the room I needed was. The halls were white-walled (maybe white bricks?) and the floor was a shiny, grey cement. Oh, and the halls were very, very wide. They were well-lit but very much devoid of anything else. Some of the doors I passed were labeled with what was inside. I passed only one door that was open. It was a large gymnasium and inside, there was a man with probably about 30 kids around him. They were all throwing bouncy balls (and maybe beach balls) up in the air and blasting some music. It looked like they were having a grand old time!

That's all I remember. If I ever ended up in a room or found out what I was doing there, I'm not sure!
