Jack Nicholson

I was in an auditorium with Olivia and Isabelle and people were leaving.  I was gathering up some kids' books and Olivia was sitting on a bench reading.  At some point Jack Nicholson showed up... no big deal.  All of a sudden I look up and a lady wearing a guard outfit runs over and grabs this little boy leaning over Olivia.  She said something about finally catching him and that he'd been using books to touch little girls.  I freaked out and asked if he touched Olivia because if he had I was going to pop his little head.  They said no, and then I felt bad... like it was illegal to talk to a kid like that.  The guard looked at me like I was crazy to think she'd tell on me and was crocheting this collar onto the kid.  Jack offered to help her and my back was turned to them while they did it, jostling into me while I pushed back.  I turned around and they had wrapped the leash of the collar - Jack and Isabelle - around the kid's neck and were strangling him while Olivia stood there with this shocked expression on her face.  When he was dead, Olivia and Isabelle ran off crying and I was just devastated, but all I could manage was a sad "Oh, Jack...."

Stabbing

When the dream starts, I'm meeting up with two old friends.  One was Dana, and I can't remember who the other one was.  We're staying in a cabin, catching up.  Bill comes in and starts a fight and I'm embarrassed that I have all this drama going on with my friends there.  Then someone is coming up to the cabin and for some reason I know it's someone to kill us.  I grab a knife and when they come in I start stabbing their hand to get them to drop their knife, but she won't.  I end up stabbing her in the chest.  I know she's not THE real killer and run to the back door to lock it.  It's opening up and I manage to shut it as I wake up.

Somewhere along the way, Joey Lawrence acting really stupid is my kid.

On our way to the cabin, we interrupt a wedding party having pictures made.

The Cult

I started going to a church and came to realize that it was a cult. I was trying to get out of it while exposing them, but they caught on and were trying to keep me from leaving and then discrediting me in front of the whole congregation. I managed to get away, but was being chased. Finally, the leader appears and tosses me a shield that looks to be made of really thin metal that reminded me of a metal garbage can. It's painted on one side. Very thin though, but effective enough to protect me from the barrage of staples coming at me from the guy's rapid-fire staple gun. In the end I was up against the neighbor's house with a pillow in front of me (instead of the shield) and the pillow was pinned to the wall by hundreds of staples but I was unhurt.

Then something about a little elephant coming to save the day, but the guy was already gone. I don't know.

I need to stop reading Koontz before bed.

Gus dream

In my dream I was supposed to meet Gus at the grocery store and we were going to do something together. I remember thinking in the dream that Bill and I were divorced and that people would talk about Gus and I going out. It wasn't supposed to be a "date", but I think I wanted it to turn out that way. When I got to the store, it was super crowded and as I was making my way to the registers, I was thinking that it was like a bunch of salmon swimming upstream. After I got to the registers, I could see Gus talking to a couple of other people. The toy department was right there, so I went over there to wait. It was very sparse and the toys were very old and raggedy looking. I saw some people from work and chatted with them for a minute and then saw the people Gus was talking to headed to the checkout.

Then my alarm went off.

Pregnant

I was folding baby clothes and feeling kind of bummed that Zoe had outgrown them and that she wasn't a baby anymore. Then I remembered that I was pregnant and was very excited that there would be another baby.

Cleaning the shower

I was in a large public bathroom, but the stalls were all showers. I wanted to clean them and went through spraying each one down. I wished that I had more water pressure to spray with. Peanut was in one stall, and looked at me like I was a little crazy, but turned around and ignored me. I went about cleaning. There was one big stall that was for our family and I didn't worry too much about that, just the other stalls.

Then I was at a lake reading a magazine. Tonya and Amanda were playing in the lake. They got out and I noticed Tonya was wearing ugly brown loafers. I didn't want her to see me, but I knew it was inevitable. Then I woke up...

$13 VS $200

In my dream, my husband and I were selling a stereo. It was nothing much, like the little boombox that we have in the girls' room. I remember thinking in the dream we'd only get $13 for it.

Bill came up to me all excited that he had found a couple at Walmart that wanted to buy the stereo. I was very skeptical and told him I didn't think it was a good idea. He ran off very excited.

He came back home and was no longer in such a good mood. I asked him how much he got for the stereo and he avoided the topic. Finally he told me that the couple had duped him into buying a brand new stereo for them for about $200. I was stunned and worried about how losing $200 would effect us... and upset that even after my warnings that I thought it was a bad idea that he went ahead and did it anyway.
