Dog food and Shoes!

     It is amazing how strange a dream can be!  I remember once I saw this documentary that explained how our brain stores our images and memories in a "filing cabinet" in our brain.  At night, this filing system is hard at work!  Dreams are often jumbled as the brain pulls files and puts them together in our dreams.  Dreams are actually a time in which the brain sorts its' files, at the same time pulling old files.  Events during the day are reviewed and combined with old filed in our dreams.  That is why we may dream of taking a shower in the middle of downtown main street!   

     Last night I had another strange dream.  It was evening and I was standing in my front yard with a couple of friends and they were all commenting how nice my front lawn looked, how green and well taken care of the grass looked.  In my dream the color green really stood out, almost glowing a little, and I guess it really caught the attention of my friends.  I explained to my friends the type of fertilizer I put on it to make it look very green.  The next thing that happened, I was knocking on my friend's door.  My friend Lourdes opened the door and let me in.  I asked about everyone and she led me to the back yard where Jazmin was doing some yard work.  I went outside and saw that Jazmin looked tired, she was holding a huge bag of dog food and spreading the dog food all over the back yard.  I looked at her confused and asked, "Jazmin, WHAT are you doing?".  She said, "Well, I want to have a green lawn like yours!"  I said, "Well, you have to put FERTILIZER on the ground... NOT dog food".  She looked at me and then down at the ground, where almost all the back yard was covered with dry dog food and then looked back at me.  She dropped the bag of dog food she had in her hands... she looked like she herself had woken up from a dream and had NO idea what the heck she was doing! Hahaha!  That was so strange... 


The next scene in my dream took place at night.  I was at work in a big building.  It was late and I had just finished working overtime.  Before I was leaving my office I was checking with Marn, my co-worker to see if the FedEx packages I held in my hands had the correct labels on them.  That was weird because Marn already retired... but hello... this is a dream and anything can happen right?? Haha

I went to the lobby and found my friend Jazmin sitting on one of the couches.  I didn't even ask her why she was there but I just assumed that she needed a ride home.  I acknowledged her with a nod and was headed toward her when I saw across the hallway my aunt's car pulling up and my mom and dad getting out.  I thought 'WHAT in the world are they doing here??"  I put my briefcase down on the floor and walked over to them.  When I got to them, my mom was having an argument with some guy about a product that she ordered that wasn't done correctly.  I told my mom to calm down, that I would take care of it, that they should go home.  I looked over at my poor dad, he looked confused, he didn't say anything.  He was wearing his favorite brown leather jacket that he wore whenever he was feeling cold.  I told them to get back in the car and go home. 

I then went back to the lobby to get Jazmin and then go home myself.  When I went back in the building, all of a sudden I looked at my feet and saw that I was barefoot. Strange... Then, as if that was a normal thing... I walked over to a room that was filled with shoes... like if that was the normal thing to happen if your shoes just magically disappeared from your feet! LOL

The room was dark and only a glint of light from the moon came through a window.  I saw that there were rows and rows of black shoes.  I tried one after the other and was getting frustrated because none of them would fit me! I felt desperate.  I had a feeling of wanting to get out of there, out of that building, but I couldn't go without shoes!  The room was too dark I would get a pair of shoes, try them on and then thrown them across the room when they wouldn't fit me.  I was like a mad woman.  I grabbed the last pair of shoes, tried them on and they just would not fit me.  I threw the last pair of shoes across the room hitting the window and I stepped back against the wall, sliding down.  I started crying, I felt defeated and tired.  At this time Jazmin, was standing in the doorway and asked me if I was alright.  My face was wet with tears and I just stared down to the floor and whispered, "I can't find my shoes".

LOL! Talk about dramatic! But that was the end of my dream last night.
