Oregon Coast Beach house

My whole family got together and we went to the Oregon coast to a beach house that looked like a combination of the house I grew up in on Joyce St., and the house that my parents live in now. We were all crowded in there together and sleeping in sleeping bags all over the floor. My kids were begging to go to the beach and the beach looked like the beaches do here in Hawaii. Everyone thought it was so weird that the only thing my kids wanted to do was go to the beach when we live in Hawaii and that's all we ever do.
Then I needed to go to the grocery store, so I asked Will to take me. Asia and Tatum were crying so we took them with us. We went to the grocery store which was the Roth's IGA on 99E in Woodburn and as we were walking on the sidewalk in front of the store, I saw my Aunt Janet walking toward the front door and she had a shopping cart with 2 small kids inside. She whispered my name and asked me to hold the door for her, but as I rounded the corner to the door, it was automatic and it opened by itself. She walked inside without saying anything and Will and I decided to go to the dollar store next door to look. I was telling him how weird it was that she asked me to hold the door when it was automatic. (END)

Garden Park 2

moved into our old condo in UT at Garden Park with 4 other girlfriends. We were in the kitchen putting things away and making dinner. When we were getting settled, we noticed there were 2 dishwashers. Just as I turned around, one of the girls was installing a 3rd dishwasher. When I looked at her questioningly, she just shrugged and was like What?! I had a dishwasher from my old place and figured we could use it. (END)

Being chased

I don't recall a lot about this dream, but there were 4 "bad guys" (3 men and a manly looking woman). I was with a friend, though I don't know which one. We were somewhere and these 4 bad people came and told us that we had to drive them somewhere and we were scared they were going to do something bad to us. They had guns and were all dressed in black. They had a van and we had a small car. So we didn't end up having to take them anywhere, but they made us follow them and one of them rode with us. We drove all over through lots of streets and turns. We ended up in a kind of secluded area, but it had a huge business building on the lot. We ran up to the doors and the concierge guy took all our keys. The bad guys told us to play it cool and not raise any suspicions. They gave instructions to go to the roof and wait. As we headed to the elevator, I told my friend that we had to make a run for it, but she didn't want to because she was afraid we'd get caught and killed. Then, just as the elevator opened, there was no one around so I made a break for a near by glass door. It went out on to a back patio of sorts and we ran around the side of the building to the front. I saw the cars parked out by the curb, but then I realized that we had given the keys to both cars to the concierge. Just as I was about to say something about it, she threw the keys at me with a wink and we ran to the car. (END)

getting a job

I should start by saying that last night at about 11:30, I needed to go to Wal-Mart for some "supplies" and since my sister, Megan is still here with her husband, I asked Will to go with me since it was so late and it had started raining. So we rode the scooter and of course it down poured on us and there was extreme thunder and lightening. When we got to Wal-Mart, they were stocking shelves and cleaning the store, as per usual for that time of night, but I had a sudden flashback from when I worked there when we first moved here and it instantly made me realize that I would NEVER want to work there EVER again!!!
In this dream I am trying to get a job at this posh kind of hip restaurant and all the girls that work there are like really tall and thin and super trendy. When I walked in they were all looking at me like, What is SHE doing here. The owner was also very trendy and pretty, but she was very friendly. She took my application and talked to me and said that she would get in touch with me. All the other girls were standing around rolling their eyes and whispering. I was getting so mad, but I was covering it up and focusing on having a friendly conversation with the owner.
When I left, I went to this little like Ma and Pa country store and the little old man that was the owner kind of reminded me of Will's uncle Stanley Erickson. He and his wife ran a little store and kind of like soda pop counter. There was one really friendly looking young girl that worked there for them and he asked me if I would consider coming to work for them. So I said yes, since I was looking for work. Well there wasn't much to do and I felt bad that they were paying me just to sit there, so I picked up a sponge outside and started washing their old gold colored boat of a car. The man just smiled and didn't say anything, but the other young girl was like What are you doing?! You don't have to do that. If there is nothing to do, we can just leave or sit around to keep them company. I was like, I know, but I am bored and I WANT to wash the car for them.
Then it switched and I was going back to the posh restaurant to check on my application there, but when I got there, my application was sitting on the front counter and it wasn't filled out. I started feeling so embarrassed and kept apologizing to the owner that I didn't complete it with my work history. So I took a pen to fill it in, but I was completely blank, I couldn't remember any of the places I had worked or who I had worked with. I was telling her, I swear I have work history. I am so sorry that I am being so retarded right now, I just can't think straight! (END)
I know I said I didn't want my dreams analyzed and I still don't, but now when I think back on the posh part of the dream. The girls kind of reminded me of the models from America's Next Top Model and the owner reminded me of Tyra Banks (though they didn't while I was dreaming, they only do now that I am awake and remembering the dream back).

Garden Park

In this dream, we are moving back to UT and back into our condo at Garden Park. It pretty much looks the same. The kitchen is set up a little different. When we get there, my mom and dad are there with us and we are just trying to get settled and fix something to eat. The furniture is already there and set up. I notice that behind the couch there are 2 baskets that look kind of like Easter basket for little kids. One was kind of boy-ish and the other was girlie. They were full of toys and candy. But they had obviously been opened and played with previously and there were empty candy wrappers from the candy that had already been eaten. My kids wanted to eat the candy and play with the toys, but I kept dwelling on figuring out where they came from and who they were for. Because in my mind I knew that the couple that lived there just before we moved in were older and didn't have any children living with them. So I was summizing that they must have had grandkids staying with them, but it wasn't Easter time so they must have just put together some baskets of toys and candy for them.
Also, whenever I have dreamed about Garden Park before and also in this dream, I am always thinking, WOW, I can't believe I actually missed this place. Gosh, this feels like home. Or, I can't believe we are actually moving back to this condo after swearing that we would NEVER live in UT again! (END)

Posh Vacation?

I just remembered a dream that I had a couple nights ago. Will and I were on a vacation in some like really posh hotel and he took me to this really nice salon to get my hair done. While I was in there he said that he was going to go get his hair trimmed. So we met back up at the checkout and the total came to like $75.
As we walked out of the salon, he says "I am so unhappy with this hair cut. I think I am just going to have you cut it off when we get home. It looks so ridiculous."
I was so irritated. I told him that was really dumb to pay that much for a trim just to turn around and have me shave it off. I got all upset at him and he couldn't figure out what I was getting so upset about. (END)
That's all I could remember. I know that it was longer and there was more involved, I just can't put it together in my head to have it make sense.

2 in 1

I have had these dreams before (not simultaneously, as in last night).

The first was just a snippet. I am just hanging out at my current home in Ocean Pointe in Ewa Beach, HI and the Kirby saleslady comes to the door to try and get us to let them clean our carpet and I am standing there in the doorway in only my under-garments (basically like underwear). She seems embarrassed and I am only embarrassed because she seems uncomfortable. (END)

The dream started out as an original. I was in a school type setting and sitting in the desk behind me was Kelly Clarkson (a singer). She was talking to me and seemed like she was really interested in being my friend. Then, she was suddenly a member of the church. Well, then she was suddenly going through the temple for the first time and I think I was supposed to be her escort.
I have had this dream about the Temple a couple of times and the setting is always the same, but it looks nothing like what the temple actually looks like. The "recommend desk" is in a kind of retail, almost Deseret Book/BYU Bookstore type setting with racks and racks of apparel and shelves of books and supplies. After you show the recommend you walk down this kind of winding path.
Last night, I was late for the session and didn't have my clothing (as per usual with this particular dream). So I sent Kelly through the recommend desk and I was madly trying to gather my stuff. Well, I ended up missing the session. So I decided to go and shower. (???) These showers (as per usual) were off to the side of the retail section and are mixed gender. Guys are supposedly on one side and girls on the other, but there is just one row of stalls on one side and another row on the other side with no seperation. The shower room is always very dim and hard to see. This particular time, I went into a stall and realized after I had already undressed that I didn't have a towel. So I "snuck" (naked) out to the retail area and grabbed 2 towels off the stack just outside the door. When I went back to my shower stall, there was about 5 inches of standing water in there and I was freaking out because I can't stand it when the tub or shower fills with water while I am showering. So I grabbed my towels and the ends of them accidentally flopped into the water. I couldn't see very well, but I could tell that the bottoms of them were soaked. So I decide to try another stall, but they are all full of water. I can see that the guys ones are not, so I decide to sneak and use one other theirs. I get into the "stall" and start to shower only to realize that it's not individual stalls, but just one big open area with shower heads and then across a half wall is a sitting area where people can sit and wait (fully clothed on sofa's and lounge chairs). Well I notice these people and decide not to shower yet. I go to get my bag and realize that I don't have soap or shampoo anyway. So I am suddenly wandering around in just my under-garments and I see Kelly (Clarkson) sitting over in one the chairs kind of off in a dim-ish corner. She is also wearing only her under-garments and is talking to this guy. When I wander over to find out how her session went, I realize that she is talking to Sergio Salzano (a very old friend of mine from Las Vegas). So I get cozy in the same arm chair with Kelly and we are all just chatting. She asks me if I am going to shower and I tell her the story of what happened to me. She points out that the showers are open now and so I go to get my bag again, remembering that I don't have shampoo. So I notice Kelly's bag next to mine and I sneakily try to see if she has shampoo and soap. I find the shampoo right away and it's (UGH) Suave. I decide it's better than nothing.
Suddenly the dream switches and we are all on school buses headed for a church to have a potluck. I spend the entire time looking for Kelly. Then as we are cleaning up after the meal, this huge helicopter keeps flying over the church making a ton of noise. Now Will is there and he insists that we need to get in the car and chase it. So we do and spend the rest of the dream driving after this helicopter. (END)
