Mi'Ma'amakim: 2012

What are the purpose of dreams? To uncover a lost truth deep inside you? To play out fears and loss? What about the little ones that are clear and perfect but no deep emotion is attached? Why have nonsense play away in your head all night? Well, last night was a nonsense dream.

My aunt and I were inside trying to find something to pass the time. She suggested a board game. I went over to the games and found a very interesting looking game. It had little packets of animals and plants that pertained to a certain region (IE. desert, ocean, forest.....). I choose the ocean and she chose a safari. The timer started and we started to put together our little landscapes (of course the ground immediately became the terrain we were looking for, in my case lots of sand and rocks. As I placed my little swimming creatures in the water they turned from a brittle looking plastic to the actual thing only very very miniature (my hammer head shark was about a fourth an inch long). As our little animals started coming to life it seemed awfully hard to keep them alive (and not running away). Finally the timer went off and we looked at our work. Well I looked at our work, my aunt seemed to have disappeared. I heard a knock at the door and ran to answer it. My mother stood soaking wet from the rain. Of course right when I let her in the power switched off and we stood awkwardly in the dark trying to find a light. The power came on after a minuet but we felt a little on edge b/c we weren't prepared for it to go out again. I showed her my little world and she slightly rolled her eyes and asked how I was going to clean that up. I kinda laughed b/c I hadn't the slightest idea.

As my mom dropped me off at work she reminded me that she would be back in the morning and to try and not fall asleep this time. Working a night shift was always difficult for me. I walked up to the old building the rain still pouring. I walked up to the floor and started to train my new apprentice. This was not the first training session I had gone through but it was always a little awkward. I explained that they could not let up their guard. They had to make sure all of the doors stayed locked and all the cupboards stayed locked and all of the creatures in the mansion stayed inside. It was my own little night in the museum. The biggest difference was that the mansion was haunted. Very haunted and the spirits that were resting during the day where actively possessing everything at night making quite the ruckus.

The rest of the dream was a door slamming thunder and lightning walking dolls experience. It was exciting scary and epic. I just don't remember all the details:).

Anyway, its random dreams like that, that are super vivid that make me wonder if I'm missing something.
