Last night I had this crazy dream....

Or so the song goes. But I truly had another strange one. It started out with a notice about a compliance test (work related, I'm sure, since I'm in charge of the haz mat portion of work). It was being held at the San Francisco Presidio, which I've never been to, and is a long way from here, but we drove. I don't know who the other person/worker in the car was, but my daughter came along for the ride, because she wanted to see SF again. When we arrive, we're on time for the test, and they lead us into the room where this test will be. Of course, I can't find my pencil.

There are many other people here to take the same test. The test starts late (hating things that are late is a pet peeve of mine!) The one thing they didn't tell us, though, is that the test is "hands on" and we have to show how to clean up a haz mat spill. A grey haired older gentleman is assigned to our group, and gives us the first test: cleaning up fish oil (in walmartian, that is not a haz mat item). Talk about a smelly chore though! Seemed to take forever (as stuff in dreams always do!) The next test was two more items being brought in: One is a glass gallon jar of dill pickles. While this 'testing' is going on, of course, my daughter is in the car, impatient to get on with some sightseeing, or shopping, not sure which is more important! hehehe The pickle jar is dropped to the floor, glass breaks, juice is everywhere, and a customer comes over, pushing a baby stroller, and asks where the pet gifts aisle is. The last test is cleaning up baby cream. (lotion? some sort of food? unsure)

*shakes her head* where does this stuff come from? Are there hidden messages in something so crazy? When dreams wake me in the middle of the night, I grab my pen and pad next to the bed and jot notes down to help me remember the next day. In big letters, I wrote ICK! lol

I know there are places to look up some words related to dreams; but they're usually more generalized than specific. Obvious questions would be: Is this related to the future? to some past event? A little of both even?

Taking a test, not finding a pencil, seems easyfor me: I do NOT like being unprepared. Perhaps there's something I've forgotten that I need to prepare for?

Fish oil: something smells? something's slippery? slipping away? swimming away? *tries all kinds of words here*

Pickles in a jar/ pickle juice: Something's broken, unfixable? In a pickle *ie: quandry?* dills can be sour ... Of course, if I'd been dreaming of popcorn, I could relate it to my son fixing himself a snack in the middle of my night! hahaha but pickles? something that smells like pickles??

As for the woman with the stroller, asking for a certain aisle in the store, we're supposed to take care of customers first: was the test to see if we took care of the customer before dealing with a safety issue? And why is there a Walmart customer in the SF Presidio? *baffling*

Either way, I'm not sure I'm taking much from this. But if something goes *click*, I'll be sure and let ya'll know!!

Dreamy HUGS to everyone!
