Multi Level Bar


It seemed as though I was fresh out of college. I was seeing a friend of mine who had started a successful business. The business was a 3-4 story multi-level bar/entertainment establishment. The main level was a bar and grill and was decorated with dark, ornate wood. Each floor contianed it's own entertainment- all connected to the bar but each having it's own identity. One of the floors I remember had a movie theater. I remember thinking that it was a marvelous idea when I saw how many people were milling about being social with one another. It was downstairs when a play-fight broke out, my friend, the owner, leading the charge. He hopped on the bar and started to hit people will some kind of desert cake with whipped cream. I got the sense that this was a routine or some kind of ritual done at his place that signified a special event to come. The whole place erupted in a mini food fight.

Dig in, There are Bears!

I was at a professional training and arrived late so I entering the rear of the presentation. Along with my supervisor and co-worker, I realized that we were to spend the night right in the very same room and await tomorrow's training.  There was a feeling of having received orders to do so. Just when I questioned why we were doing this, it so happened that I had a tent and the necessary camping items already with me- so it made it appear less strange.  I set up camp near the back of the hall, near the refreshments. I think the dream supposedly lasted through the night when, the next morning, on a break, the entire training class went outside. It was there where we saw black bears on the side of a large circular slope (with water in the center). I then noticed other kinds of bears. They really looked like large teddy bears but I recognized them as brown bears and thought that they would surely be more aggressive. One slowly approached me and I became apprehensive--- disassociated and questioned whether or not I should run or stand still. I stood still but grabbed a fork for protection, just in case. The bear crawled on top of me but didn't appear to be aggressive.
