Unwanted Guest? No Problem, Got Coffee

Again with the ladies. I dreamt that this girl I know here invited me into her house via a phone and once I got there, I let myself in. Once in, I was ignored. After a sometime had passed, I realized that she was in her room and could hear me in the kitchen but didn't come out. Being in the kitchen reminded me that I had a coffee maker on me, inside a backpack I didn't realize (until then) that I was wearing. Naturally, I decided to make coffee and looked through ths cupboards for filters. I then got to thinking that I was an unwanted guest and made plans to leave as soon as my coffee was brewed. Remember thinking how it felt to be an unwanted guest but then somehow justified my presence there by thinking things like this to myself: well if she comes out here and says "what the hell are you doing in my house", then I'll just give an concrete answer like "hey, I'm making coffee- it's not you or this house, I just needed coffee- ya understand, I'll be out when it's done".

The Matrix

This dream blended three running themes. I was on some sort of mission (theme 1) in which I was running around looking for something/someone and had a lot of energy. I made out with a hot girl (theme 2) and the last theme has to do with all of this taking place in a maze- or at least unfamiliar corridors consisting of two walls but no roof and nothingness beyond that.

Close Call w/ Dog

I was running through a residential area, through the backyards of middle class homes. Not one of those dreams where you desperately try to run, only to find your legs paralyzed- no. I ran at high speeds, deftly around trees and over lawn chairs. I got the feeling I was running from something when I came across a barking dog that looked vicious. Then decided to climb a fence. As I climbed this wooden fence it became unnaturally long- the more I climbed, the longer it got. Finally uptop of it and looked down about stories to the barking dog. Afraid to come down, I beckoned the middle aged woman who lived in the house I was near to help me onto a ledge. She did, though she hestiated at first. I was invited into the house. Found the beginnings of a party going on- reminiscent of an ice cream social. People trickeled in. A woman my age came in the door and we started to make out in the kitchen. Strange because the kitchen and the entire layout of the house reminded me of a house I had been in before and know that I had dreamed about this...archetype of a house before. Last thought to go through my mind was if it was in poor taste to make out with this woman in the home of the lady who saved me from the dog.

Sledding

I started to remember the details of this dream when it saw me outside, in the snow with winter gear standing next to my longtime friend Maria- we commented to each other about how much it had snowed. Apparently we were in Moline but the town looked more like Vail. Each of us had a sled so we sledded down a street only to get stuck. Spotted more hills and tracks just to the right so we took them too. Great fun. We wound up at my place (my childhood home) and went in. I asked my brother to come sledding but he stared at the computer screen watching the status of the weather over Japan because someone he knows is there, in danger of "the weather". One sister declined offer too. My Dad was there--but a younger version of my dad, say 15 years younger. We were all in this condo. Must have retrieved memories of 1992 and Colorado and mixed them together.
