Dream: Lion Bite on the Loose

Skipnclick / Lion pawsing for thought

Taking pictures of a male lion in a capital rotunda (known because it had a mane).  It was a state capitol, but I don't know which one.  I was assisting with the photography. The lion came around to me and gently wrapped its mouth around the top of my head.  Its top jaw was just above my eyebrows and its lower jaw was at the back of my neck. Even though it was a play bite, gentle is a relative term especially when it comes to a lion, and I felt my skull reacting to the pressure.

The photographer and I showed the pictures to the Governor and she approved them.  There was one problem though - the lion got free!

I'm in a neighborhood sitting at a picnic table with three other people deep in someone's backyard. We see the lions across the street, but luckily they don't come to bother us.  I call 911 to report the lions and the dispatcher tells us to stay together in a group and remain still.  If we split up and run it will trigger the lions' prey drive and they will chase us.

Dream: The 1,500th President

I was predicting the name of the 1,500th President of the United States, which would be almost 6,000 years from now.  The name was Maxwell Goodman.

It is interesting to wonder if there would even be a United States that far from now. What geo-political alliances would begin and end during that time?  Would sea level rise make Kansas the place to purchase expensive beachfront property?

Dream Last night: Jersey Mike's and Looking for the Metro

Steve, Mom and someone else were visiting me, but the surrounding were more like NYC than DC.  We came out of a building at a different place than we went in, and had a hard time finding the metro.  We walked around a lot.  We ended up in a courtyard lined with tall trees covered in fuchsia flowers.  A man in a low-to-the-ground silver sports car pulled up and asked us if we know where the metro was. He asked if one of us would like to go with him to drive around and find it (there was only the passenger seat available; it was a small car) and then come back with the information.  We declined. [In reality, I would have put Steve in there in the hopes that he would be abducted and killed.  Only partially kidding!] We ended up driving around for a long time.

…

Me and the same folks were deciding where to eat, and we ended up going to Jersey Mike’s.  However, this was the Jersey Mike’s from hell.  The sandwiches were about 2 inches wide.  I was not a happy camper.  I complained to the manager. I told him this is not how Jersey Mike’s is supposed to be.  In order to pay, you had to go down a hall to a black steel door.  There was a man in there who would take your money, but you had to slide it under the door.  This was to prevent theft.  I ended up getting in there and talking to him.  I told him that at the Laurel, Maryland location they acted like they were happy to see me, that their sandwiches were good. [This is true.  I drive about half an hour to get there.  I go just for the sandwiches - #12]

Dream Last Night: A Dead Girl - Is this my inner child?

I was hanging out at a mall with friends, including a guy that I have a crush on named T. He and I were talking and flirting a little bit. Later I was walking through the mall next to an elementary school aged girl.  I pulled a ball out of a ball cage thing and began to kick it and throw it into the air.  The girl and I talked. 

-----

I’m driving a car alone a dirt road behind some houses to get to the one I am looking for.  As I backed into a parking space, I ran over a small girl. (She wasn’t the same girl as above. Or was she?  Weird.)  Her mother was looking at the scene.  I heard a crunch, but I thought it was only her leg that was damaged. The family drove the girl off, but we were not sure where they were taking her. 

-----

Back at the mall I’m walking the opposite way, reeling after being told the girl died. I run into T, and before I can even get the words out my mouth, he says, “I know.  I got 4 texts about it.” I realized that that was his test, listening to what I had to say, and he failed it. I rejected him.

---

I’m on a train talking to some official people.  I was being charged with murder, and everything turned into a media circus.  I was asked not to speak to the press.  I read people’s theories about why I had murdered her, but the theories were all wrong. It was an accident.

Dream Last Night: Oprah and Snooki

I was a propmaster on an Oprah show about art history.  The paintings were on the top of a wall, and I was behind them, holding them up as Oprah and the guest got to each one. Then Oprah was next to me telling me that Snooki was mad at her because she sat in front of her at the Oscars. 

I told Oprah that Jersey Shore was the only thing that kept Snooki from a life of crime. Oprah nodded and said she would send Snooki some buns to smooth things over.

I told Oprah that Snooki would likely regift them, and when she presented them to the new recipient, she’d say, “Here, eat Oprah’s buns.” Oprah laughed.

Dream Last Night: I Waved Like the Queen

In a parking lot I was backing up in my car.  Two coworkers, T and D, ran up to me to catch me.  (I have a great deal of affection for these two guys.) When they got close, they dropped to their knees and began to bow to me.  I put my arm out the window and began waving to them like the Queen of England waves to her followers.  The overall tone of the dream was affectionate and warm.

Elephant Dreams

I was outside my workplace which has a nice courtyard with large mature trees and backs up to a feast or famine branch of the Anacostia River.  I was on a wooden swing hanging from one of these trees and I was swinging back and forth high above the ground. From the river area hundreds of miniature elephants emerged and began walking around underneath me. The biggest ones were the size of a large dog, the smallest the size of a teacup chihuahua. They were beautiful to see, they walked around in large circles. I would twist the swing around so that on each pass I'd be able to look down at them.  Someone else was there with me, and I asked her how many elephants there were. I had tried to count them but was unsuccessful.  She said it did not matter how many there were.  Later I told the elephants not to come back to this place tomorrow because there would be alot of people there.

Saana

This word came to me in a dream. It is a natural feature of Finland.

Does my future hold a climb in Finland?
