Halloween Stores, Nascar Tattoos, and Tacos

#1 
I'm walking through the brewery district in Tacoma and see a couple people opening a warehouse. I walk up to them and they tell me they're putting in a Spirit Halloween store. I mention that I worked at a couple Spirits in the past and the next thing i know I'm the manager of this one. I call Aron to tell her.

#2 
At the Federal Way Home Depot with Joe. He's looking for conduit and couplings for some work project. I walk up to two employees cleaning up some thing that spilled on the concrete. One of them is my former coworker Susan. She has a giant tattoo of a NASCAR car surrounded by a cloud of smoke on her calf. I give her a big hug because I haven't seen her in over 4 years.



#3
I'm in the parking lot looking for Joe and he pulls up with Katie, Felicia and my dad in the car. I'm pissed because it looks like they went and got fast food without me.

#4
At some kind of gathering with my girlfriends. Julie's baby Kinley crawls over to me and I pick her up. She starts to fuss/cry and Suze takes her away from me. I say something to the effect of, "At least let me try to calm her down."

#5
I'm back at the house I grew up in and people are moving in across the street. Except there's like 30 of them and they're all hanging out the front yard and their kids are drawing on cars. I try to call the cops but Craig asks me not to. One of the girls from across the street comes over and tells me (in sign language) that she's hungry. I ask my mom to feed her tacos.

Can't build a website if the fireboat sinks

#1
I'm some place where there are a bunch of houses on the water connected by docks. My coworkers are in the houses and we're trying to finish a project. Due to some sort of technical difficulty the only way we can relay messages to each other is through an elaborate game of "telephone". I'm wandering around the docks waiting for a message from Mike so I can pass it along to Glen and notice a fireboat docked down the way. As I wander by again I notice it's sinking. Andrzej comes walking up from another house and is pissed because the people that own the fireboat are our clients and it's their fault it sank and now we can't finish the project.



#2
Brian pulls up in a big Escalade full of people, including a guy I used to work with at Home Depot (also named Mike). They ask me where Corina Bakery is and I tell them it's on 7th and Broadway. I ask other Mike why Home Depot Mike is there and he says he doesn't know why anyone invited him since he never brings beer and just drinks everyone else's.

Note: I know Corina Bakery's not on 7th and Broadway but in my dream I was convinced it was.

Baby Time!

#1
Someone's chasing me through a house. I run outside and hide under the porch behind some lattice. (I blame episodes of Burn Notice for this dream)

#2
Suze is super pregnant and ready to pop. Her stomach's rippling and I can see the baby pressing its face against the walls of her stomach like people press their faces against glass. (It was only mildly creepy looking.)

#3
I'm standing in a parking garage and get a call from DeeJay that it's time for Suze to give birth. I run outside and wait on the corner jumping up and down saying, "It's baby time! Babybabybabybabybaby." Suze and DeeJay are walking toward me from a parking lot. Suze insists that before we go to the hospital we need to stop for ice cream and get our hair done.

Cloris and Regis

#1
I drive up to the horse stable I used to work at when I was about 13. The mean old lady who lives there not only remembers me but is happy to see me. She starts to give me a tour and tells me about how she's updated the place so people can rent it out for events like weddings.

#2
I'm backstage with the dancers from the Can Can. I ask Jonny Boy if he'd give me a tattoo. He draws Cloris Leachman and Regis Philbin on my back. They're just stick figures but I know who they are. They're having a conversation and a bunch of the words in their speech bubbles are misspelled. I start panicking because I don't have the money to get this lasered off me.

Smoke Shops and Drag Queens and Emma

#1
Trying to get ready for Zoobilee and I'm running terribly late. The room I'm in overlooks a field where the party's taking place. I can see my dad and my boss already down there, sitting at a table. I'm struggling to style my hair (which is incredibly long and curly).

#2
I have a 3rd cat. He eats a mouse and a bunch of plastic wrap and throws up a mouse wrapped in plastic wrap.

#3
Back in Vegas with the girls. We're tired from the day before and I'm trying to see if we have time to visit the Grand Canyon before we drive home.



#4
I am now the owner of the smoke shop I used to work at when I was 18. Am arguing with the manager Lawrence about how things should be done around there.

#5
On some sort of road trip in Las Vegas. Am at the home of a couple drag queens and they're trying to transform me into one. Am trying to figure out how to form my mouth to look like Reba when I sing.

 This is the look I was going for.

#6
Leaving Vegas and realize I won't be able to make it all the way home that night. Am on the phone with my mom and mention looking up Emma since she lives in Eureka. I'm driving along the coast and spot Emma, Nina and Stephanie on the beach. I make a U-turn and there's lots of jumping up and down and hugging and stuff.

Tobacoo, Airplanes, Weddings and Power Rangers

#1
I'm at the smoke shop I used to work at when I was 18. One of the old employees gives me a hug and tells me she's disappointed that I haven't lost more weight since I left. A guy pulls up to the drive thru and orders a specific kind of Kools that I just can't seem to find. I walk back to the counter and Ken and Mark W. are standing there with a friend of Ken's. Ken's teasing him and calling him a "dirty Arabian". Mark's really upset because he can't find the chewing tobacco he wants. I try to help him find an alternative.

#2
I'm getting on an airplane. There's someone there with some sort of medical problem that will be made worse if he flies. I'm trying to convince the flight staff that he needs an injection of something but they won't listen. I start making my way to my seat at the front of the plane and Brian comments that the front of the plane is best because planes usually break apart in the middle, near the wings.

 This doesn't make me feel any better.

#3
I'm at Joe and Anna's wedding. It's outside with a bunch of trees around. The groomsmen start coming out through the trees dressed like Scottish warriors or something (white floofy shirts, kilts, furs, staffs). There's a mock battle and Anna emerges from the battle in her wedding dress. I'm off to the side, watching with a group of people. I'm trying not to step in dog poop.

#4
Something having to do with singing Power Rangers. I just remember watching them and trying to figure out which color they were missing. I think it was green.

Nope. There's the green one. Why does he have gold shoulder pads?

Note: Apparently this is what happens when your back is all messed up and you take a couple muscle relaxers before bed.

Kay Eee Dollar Sign Hah

#1
Having a conversation with my Grandma. She's very young and wearing a red dress. She's telling me all about how she and Grandpa used to go dancing "back in the day".

#2
At Showcase, only it looks nothing like Showcase. One of our troupe routines is set to "My First Kiss" by 3OH!3 and Ke$ha. We're all dressed in black and come on stage crawling and doing acrobatics like something out of Cirque du Soleil. We're also twirling something that looks like one of those light-up bouncy balls on a string. I'm stuck on the other side of the building and end up running on stage late and trying to sneak in through the back. 

Note: Last night was pretty full of dreams but these are the two that I remember clearly. For those that aren't familiar, this is the song that was in my second dream.
