Okay, to preface the rest of the blog:
Thursday morning - EARLY morning - I woke up from strange dream at 3:30. At the time, up until now, I couldn't remember any part of the dream. Things are started to piece together. I believe a tornado was involved and I had to save my patio furniture. The apartment was the same but all the rooms seems switched around and we had a backdoor.
The contents of this dream really aren't important - just the fact that I had a weird dream.
So last night at work I needed something to read on my supper break. I always keep my mini ESV Bible in my purse so I grabbed that. Lately I've been doing some studies on Revelation so I've been doing plenty of reading in that book. The book of Daniel goes hand-in-hand with Revelation so I decided I'd started reading there. The first few chapters of Daniel are about Daniel's dream-interpretations for the king. (Honestly, at the time I didn't even put my weird dream and the dream-interpreting together. Why should I?)
Well, last night I couldn't sleep in spite of how tired I was! I got out of bed around 12:30 and found myself padding around looking for something do. After checking emails and Facebook and Twitter I sat down with Daniel again. After reading for about an hour (and gaining a headache from all the foot-traffic from our upstairs neighbor) I went to bed and had yet another strange dream. This time it didn't wake me up but I thought I would share it with you.
In my dream I was at work doing my normal routine - cashiering and doing my share of closing duties. The last of the customers were lining up so we could close the store. One of the associates decided we should turn off the store lights to urge the customers out faster - so he did. It ended up stressing all the people out. I had the only register open and it was busier than peak business hours on a Saturday. For some reason I had walked away to get a drink of water. When I grabbed the cup I didn't have water it was like a partially melted red-colored slushie (my guess would be cherry.) It was almost gone so another of the associates took the cup from me and cut it in half so I could get the good stuff at the bottom. I had taken my work apron off by this point because we were almost closed and I was wearing a yellow shirt (of which I actually own.) A disgruntled customer, after having paid for his items, storms out behind me and bumps me. My red drink, although almost gone, spills on the front of my shirt and apparently I don't notice it. The same associate that cut my cup in half points the spill out to me and I panic. Down. Right. Panic. But as the rest of the dream progresses the stain lightens and eventually disappears. Also in the dream a customer asked me to look up some movies on the computer - so I obliged. Words and writing/typing in dreams is always a little messed up but this was just ridiculous! I was practically pounding on the keyboard trying to make the words come out right but my eyes couldn't see what I was typing and I could barely keep up with the customer's help in trying to spell the titles. Panicked again.
I think at the end of the dream I was finally dismissed to go home but it was very late - much later than usual. My eyes had a blurriness in them and I couldn't see the road so I decided to walk home...28 blocks. Even walking I couldn't see very far in front of me. That's where the dream ends or I stopped remembering it. It was weird and left that "uhg" feeling in my chest.
Thought I would share. If you are a Daniel you could interpret this if you want. Otherwise, you might just get a good laugh or an exaggerated roll-of-the-eye out of it. Good Day to you!
(Note: if there's typos, I apologize. I typed fast and I didn't reread before posting.)
