Pieces of dreams

A few interesting bits and pieces of dreams I had last night.....

Dream Scenario #1: I think we were having some kind of family reunion at my mom's house. There was a group of family members from my mom's side of the family (Crookers), people I haven't seen in years. Even though people seemed to be talking/communicating with each other, I remember it still seemed pretty quiet in the house and it felt like it was very early in the morning around 5am. The coolest part was seeing my grandparents. My grandfather looked the same, tall and thin, donning his glasses and characteristic sense of humor. The only exception was he appeared younger by the clothes he was wearing, like from the 1970's. He was talking to my mom and I about something, but I can't remember what. I walked in and out of the kitchen, as my mom had made a pot of coffee for everyone. I think I gave my grandmother a hug. Very warm and comforting. Short, but great dream since I rarely dream about my grandparents anymore (they have both been deceased for years). It's comforting to know that your love for someone doesn't die when they die physically.

Dream Scenario #2: It looked like I was in Chicago because I felt like I was in a big city late, late at night. I was with a female friend, though I can't recall who exactly. I got the feeling we just left a concert and were in search of a bathroom because my friend had to pee really bad. I'm not sure why she didn't go at a bathroom at the venue, but we searched around nonetheless in random areas of the city. You'd have thought bathrooms were suddenly obsolete. We ended up finding this dilapidated bathroom in what could have been an abandoned building or warehouse. When I walked into the place, I didn't even want to STAND there, that's how gross it felt. Dirty concrete floors, wet disheveled toilet paper spread over the floors of the stalls. Clogged toilets. A door that had been ripped off merely hanging off the hinge on one stall and two other stalls that had no door at all. One girl had been trying to pee in the stall with the door barely hanging when we walked in and I felt bad that we startled her and had bothered her privacy since there was no door. I knew it wasn't my fault, but I still felt bad for the girl that she couldn't pee in privacy because of the horrific bathroom. I asked my friend if she really wanted to use the bathroom here of all places. She flat out insisted that she could not hold it any longer and had to go, even if it was in this gross environment. That's all I remember.

Next piece of dream I remember: I was hanging out with my friend Tracy and "Smith" (Samantha's boyfriend from "Sex and the City"....hahahaha). We were sitting at a white metal table outside, perhaps on an outside porch of a restaurant. I wondered how I knew him in the dream or vice versa. We were talking and he needed to leave soon. Wrapping up the conversation, I made a comment about how he'll have to let me know when he's in Seattle again. He told me "It's probably not going to last much longer with Kim (Cattrall)...." and he threw down two tickets, what appeared to be tickets to a Seattle Mariners game or some kind of sporting event. I was confused and asked him if he was going to be traveling or if he got a new job that would bring him back to Seattle. "Are you in a band or something?" I asked. "Well, no...not exactly." He went on to say that he would be cleaning the streets around the sports stadium with those big sliding brooms after the games. I thought it was weird, but I was polite. Tracy was mad at me for some reason, maybe she thought I was trying to start something with this guy who had a girlfriend. He put his Gucci or Dolce and Gabbana sunglasses on and left to go to the...bathroom (hahaha). I didn't realize that until just now...reappearance of a bathroom in this dream. Hmmm, wonder what that's about...
