I am at a college. I am to give a talk to a large audience. I am the third speaker. I am on stage, but off on the side. I think my two papers (notes) are on the floor close to the podium where the one speaker is talking. I crawl over and look. They are not there.

I go to look for the papers. I am with two women. I think one of them is Sheila La Corre. We go to my classroom. I look for the notes on my computer. For some reason, I did not save them. There is a package in the room. I open it. There is a wrapped gift from a friend. (I can’t remember what it is when I wake).

I am disappointed that I cannot find my notes. I decide to call and say I need to cancel. Then I get a message from the university that something happened and it had to close. I am somewhat relieved, but also nervous that something “bad” may have happened to have it close.

I worked on this dream by just looking at the verbs. This dream could be about me asking Kevin about having connection with Markus and Rowan. I did send a voice note this morning and at the end asked where he was at re Paul and I reconnecting with the boys. No message back yet.

Ideas:
Give a talk, is talking- communication. Someone else is talking, not me. Crawl- moving on hands and knees, making myself small, unseen. Leave- go away
Look- using my eyes to see something
Did not save- did not keep, lost, didn’t hold on to
See- become aware of
Open- discover
cannot find- something is lost, not available
call- communicate
cancel-stop something, not going forward with something
closed- something has stopped, not longer available
think-thoughts in my mind

I think this dream has to do with wanting to communicate with my son about having contact with his sons. I am being passive about this. (I watch two others give their talks). I lose my notes. I don’t know how to approach him about this. I think by making myself small, meek (crawling) this will help me communicate with him better. That doesn’t work. I am trying out ways to approach my son and the old way is not going to work (can’t find my notes and did not save them on the computer). There is a gift involved, but I do not know what it is (can’t remember the gift in the dream). I call to cancel my talk. I am giving up on how to approach Kevin, what to say. Then I find out the whole University closed. University could related to higher learning. Maybe, I am missing out on higher learning by not communicating with Kevin about getting reconnected to my grandsons.

I am with Peter and a large group of leaders. It is like a dream conference. Someone tells a dream. I start to ask questions. Peter says he needs to talk to me. He leads me back into a room. It is down a hallway and through a couple of rooms. He tells me that I take over and that it has to stop. I am hurt and angry. We end up both sleeping in the same bed. I wake up and go to the bathroom. The toilet is in a separate room/space. I hear Peter get up and I tell him I am on the toilet. I think he still peeks in. (I think I am being asked to leave the group. ) (I am noticing that I am having a lot of “toilet” dreams)

Paul and I are to put in a new toilet in Kelsi and Keenan’s in the bathroom in their basement. Paul doesn’t want me to help because I do “take over”. He has lost a lot of problem solving/following directions ability. He put our toilets in at our townhouse in AZ. But I am noticing every day how he can’t figure out something.

p.s. We asked Paul’s nephew who is a retired plumber to put the toilet in and he did. Yeah!

The neighbors ask to tie up their boat at our dock. I look out the window. Our two boats are on the left of our dock where before there was one boat on either side. The neighbor moved our boat over already. They put their boat on the right side. It is a nice day, but it is very wavy. Our small boats are going up and down and getting water in them. I am calm and know the boats are ok.

Day Notes: this is the day after Paul drove back from his fishing trip with the Osbergs at Ottertail He cannot figure out gps, not could the guys figure it out . They gave Paul verbal directions to get home and when I found this out two hours after he left, I gave him a call. He was south, almost to Alexandria. I stayed on the phone with him, giving him directions. It took him 5 hours to get home and it should have taken him 2. I was grateful that he answered his phone and that it worked out.
