I was told to write down the dreams.
I am driving up a mountain road that had the first heavy snowfall of the year on it. It is important that I get to my destination because they will be closing for the season soon as the roads become impassable for all but the heartiest of vehicles. I am driving a school bus. This is never explained. I am alone in the bus, but I have in the seats cat carriers and boxes. This is a retrieval mission and I have done it several times. This feels like it might be the last time though.
My destination is a farm to table restaurant and homemade luxury goods gift shop place. It is a big place and a destination for travelers spring through fall, but it shuts down except for the few workers who are residents there also in the winter. I need to get there before shut down is complete and get my cats (my current 2 cats, Oz and Sylvester). For some reason never explainedI have been stashing the cats there each spring and then retrieving them for the winter. it is very important that I get them and also important that I am not discovered. There is something clandestine about my stashing and then regetting the cats. I also am getting some belongs from there that I have hidden away in the nooks and crannies of the gift shops. I may also be stealing things, unclear.
I know of this place because I worked there in high school, which it seems will be a point I stress should I get caught.
I park the bus in one of the sheds out near the fields and the main vegetable garden for the restaurant. The restaurant is one building wooden, single story, wooden floors, ramps from added on room to added on room, a large greenhouse connected to the kitchen.
The gift shop is more like a house, old and small rooms that you have to back track through to get to one you missed. And then there a couple of warehouse that were built to look like old wooden barns. Everything in the gift shop is marked down for the season closing. A line of Holiday pillows in deep jewel tones with words in gold script are everywhere. I need to find the cats and get them in the carriers, but they are not so easy to carry unnoticed. There are cats all in the gift shop area, it is a bit of a "thing" there, I guess that made it a safe place to stash mine (still no idea why).
Other dream
I am on a motorcycle pulling into a gas station. There are barricades up because of road work and it is making getting in and out difficult. I am getting gas and then all of a sudden I am picking up E there, that was unplanned and I am bothered because I do not have the correct seatbelt for him to use with me on the motorcycle (what?). I do get him strapped on with something and am getting ready to leave when there are pets left by someone. We are still at the gas station, but also somehow inside. There are small birds, like tiny, but hopping around, not flying, and then some baby chicks and I am afraid they are gong to get stepped on, but there are also kittens, lots and lots of kittens, like that clip from the British game show, they will not stay put. Somehow all this ends up in our house which is the house I grew up in in Decatur (if I am in a house from my actual life in a dream, it is always this house). I am trying to keep our cats and dog away from all these other animals and have tried to separate them by type in the rooms. People keep opening doors which is no good.
Somehow related to this we are supposed to be having a garage/yard sale with some people (a couple from our church that are more friends of my parents'). The sale is to be at their house in the country (they do not live in the country) and they are concerned where people will park because they just landscaped and put in a garden. They have me out to see the whole set up and it is very nice, but all of a sudden I seem at a loss about what I have to contribute.
the end.
