Dream 1

I am in my apartment with my oldest son. He steps out to do something quickly and I accidentally lock the door while he is out. He taps quietly on the door to be let back in.

Dream 2

I am walking down a hall with two other women. We are dressed for work in skirts and heels and appear to be either coworkers or colleagues headed for a meeting. One of the women is carrying a large box holding it out in front of her. The box appears to be very heavy as if it might hold something like an air conditioner. She seems unbothered though. When I notice that she has balanced her heavy-duty briefcase on top of the box, I remove the briefcase and carry it for her without saying anything. She also says nothing. We continue on to our destination and realize we must have taken a wrong turn since we find ourselves on a rooftop with nowhere to go but down.

Dream 3

I am working on logistics with contestants from American Idol. This is the start of the season and contestants are arriving, but plans have gone awry. Transportation and lodging plans are falling apart and we keep having to reroute the contestants. This involves a lot of walking alongside rural roadways while dragging luggage along. They are hot, hungry, and tired when we finally arrive at what looks like a hotel lobby. Some of the contestants are actively complaining about the detours and delays while others appear good-natured about the experience. I feel like a participant observer as I listen to the combination of whining and excited bantering. I wonder to myself whether these snafus are intentional to get a glimpse of the personalities onboard.
