My Spy Kids Dream

[liralen]

I had this dream of a day camp for kids, but it was... uhm... kind of like my numerous spy dreams, too, where there were terrible things happening and one simply had to deal. Including a mother who had to take the plates off her car, and substitute the plates of another passing car because someone was tracking the plates in order to find her daughter and steal her.. and it was just one of the easy precautions we could take...

Or going shoulder deep in a river as cold as the Winatchee was (basically melted snow runoff) with Jet on my shoulders, holding onto my ears and giggling and kicking his feet while we threw off the scent for ground scent dogs and managed to get to a mid-river hideout of black rock.

Amusingly enough, I remember scheduling snacks and naps with a few of the other mom's and trying to coordinate the schedules so that everyone would get what they needed, and we'd still get the travelling in that we needed to do.

think of it as a prequel for "spy kids"

Yeah! It amused me that Jet was having a great time through the whole thing, too.

it was a night for it; *I* dreamed that my friend jinkle who is happily married to Louise was in fact with rowanf's Russell (who was eating something like long flat sugar cubes) and that I couldn't tell baby Isaac from our biggest cat Ben because they both had whiskers so I was toting them round alternately... and there was something about worms

isn't is strange how part of the brain imposes sensible structures and reactions over the craziest ideas in dreams

It is very strange, but very cool, too, in odd ways.

I've been reading this book that kjc007 recommended to me, about dreams, and the basic theory was that dreams reflect ones emotional state when one is dreaming. Whether or not the actual content makes any sense, the base emotions are the ones that are key.

So I guess I feel like I have impossible things to do, but that I'm compitent enough to handle them, no matter how hard they are, at a gut level. That's a useful thing to think through
