Swimming 8/16/22

A woman swims laps out in the lake. I watch her from the shore. She is out aways. She disappears to the right each time.
I swim laps in a pool. The woman comes to the pool to swim laps also. A man is also swimming laps. The woman is tall and slender and in her 40’s. The man and the woman are dating. They walk away from the pool holding hands. She asks if he will drive downtown.
There is another young man who reminds me of Ultred from the Last Kingdom series. He is standing up on a hill waiting for the storm to come. When it does he will swim laps. I stand at the bottom of the hill. We can hear thunder.
Feelings: happy, anxious for Ultred

question: What should my focus be in life right now to bring meaning to my life?
Also, in waking life, thunder woke me up at 4:30 a.m.

8/14/22 Progress with Becky and Celebration

The first part of the dream or maybe a separate dream is where I am sitting with Meghan, my niece, and a few other people at a counter at a restaurant. She had met with Becky, my sister, and is talking about it. It sounds like she has made some progress.

I am now in a city. I stand on the steps of a church. I start to walk. The church goes along with me. There are crowds of people out in the streets. They have colorful clothes on. it is very festive. A celebration for the end of Covid.

I hear a song sung by Aaron, my nephew, and his friend, Mat. I don’t know if it is just me hearing the song, or if it is everyone. It is a folksong I know in waking life, but do not remember. It is very beautiful and calming. Aaron and Mat do a nice job singing it.

Can’t Find My Hotel Room at the Dream Conference 8/13/22

I am with Jude. She has a baby and a pet (dog?) The pet gives the baby a bottle, but the baby wants Jude to do that.

Jude, the baby and I are going to go outside. We are in a huge, hotel complex. We need our jackets. I tell Jude I will go and get them. I search for my room key in my purse and find it. I ask Jude what her jacket looks like. She says it is light blue.

I take off. It is like a labyrinth. I go upstairs through large, conference rooms and then on a trolly that I get off of and have to backtrack. I am frustrated. It is the Dream Conference.

There is one scene where I talk to a young woman who wants me to fill up her glass for her friend. I feel I am too friendly with her and in her space. (self-critical)

I never get to my room.
