The setting is down the basement at Shady Oak. Jan McQuiston (Paraprofessional from school I worked at) is doing a group with my daughter Kelsi and other young people (10-12 yrs old). They sit in a circle. It is based on an adult group I have lead.

I am upstairs and I hear Kelsi cry. I run down there and Jan is there. She pooh poohs it and says of course there is crying! I see kids with these seeds like popcorn, etc. (separate piles). Some of them are putting them down a drain. They are all sitting on the floor. I worry they will need them after. I then become a boy with a white top on and carefully put one seed down the drain at a time.

I then become me again and go upstairs. There are a couple of men and a woman walking around. They are looking for my parents. They say they are from the same church. One recognizes me from when I was a child and says, “I have never worked in this town so he didn’t know it was me at first.” I say something about the group in the basement. That it might freak people out. It could look like “witchcraft” to them.

Dan (brother in waking life) stains a dock with a younger person. He stains it red. He keeps getting the wrong stain. (it keeps coming off)

I go with him to get more stain and I decide to get brown paint for my dock. Dan asks if he can borrow my paint brush. He reminds me he gave or bought it for me a few years ago. I tell him I have it, but left it at home.

I go into the store. It is more like a “Galleria” type store: fancy. Periodically, there is a deer that walks through the store. There is a small goat that stands behind these people at a counter (looks like a hotel counter where you check in). I worry they will step back onto it.

It is crowded in the store. I talk to images-1a saleswoman about the paint. She goes away. There are others waiting to get waited on. She comes back and has the brown paint, but needs to do something else with it. (and goes away again.)

Feeling: Happy, a bit afraid for the goat and a bit nervous with all the people in the store, but glad I got waited on right away.

I am up at the lake. It feels like Grandnan’s cottage (her new one). We wait for a woman who Denise knows who will work with us on our complexions. I look out the window and see dark clouds in the distance to the right. A storm is coming. A whole group of people on horse back come riding toward the cottage. One of them is Denise. She has on a light brown straw hat (man’s hat). I say the other people can come in if they want. Denise doesn’t want that. She is worried about the woman coming (complexion woman) because of the storm. I go and put on this darling, summer frock: light, small print-very light mauve. One of the other women is with me. She loves the dress and asks where I got it. I say from up here. It has a tie in the back. I look out the window and see that the clouds are now over the cottage. (this is how the dream ends—however, as I lay in bed I remember a scene of me laying down on a straw mat the size of a small throw rug. It is medium to light brown with some red. I had gotten it from Gretchen. I feel very relaxed laying on it.) The feelings in the dream were happy and afraid. I had the dream after two days back from our vacation.
