Dream 1 

I am working in a dark and poorly lit restaurant/bar with narrow corridors. I have to wheel a loaded bar cart across this vast establishment from one end to the other. My friend/ coworker helps me maneuver the cart while we bump our way across old carpets and sharp corners. We think we are finally at our destination only to find that we are at the top of a steep staircase with about 12 steps. There is no elevator. We look at each other wondering what to do. The cart is still at the top of the stairs when I wake up.

Dream 2

I am frantically working my way through a busy airport. It’s very important that I meet someone on time. She is not there but it’s understood that I need to keep searching for her so I do. I am now on a path in the woods where I eventually find the woman I was supposed to meet. It is only now understood that she is to hand over her young child to me for reasons I do not understand. After she does, she walks through the woods and boards a rustic raft that is headed down a stream and is being steered by a man. The woman looks very happy. I suddenly realize that I need to catch up to her to take her picture thinking that when this child is older, he will want to see what his mother looked like, but it’s too late. The raft has floated too far way.

Dream 3

I am in a busy noisy nighttime establishment that looks like a bar or a concert. I was told that my son will be here and so I am looking for him. Just when I plan on giving up I spot him leaning against a wall in the corner. He tells me he’s tired because he was a ‘roadie’ for a Grateful Dead concert and when he says that, I notice he’s wearing their band tee shirt. I wonder if this is a one-time thing or if he has a new job but it’s too noisy to have much of a conversation there so I don’t ask. He tells me that he’s sorry but that he had to park a truck with equipment on our lawn but it’s just for one day.
