Dreams, dreams, what do they mean?

I've been having some strange dreams lately. Perhaps the book, Dreams Do Come True: Decoding Your Dreams to Discover Your Full Potential by Layne Dalfen might give me some insight. This book was featured on the WBT 1110 AM Keith Larson show and the link is also on Larson's web site. I think I have found an interesting talk radio station to listen to. :-)

My dad listens to Neal Boortz, a right wing Libertarian. Now I can listen in on WBT 1110 AM, if I'm ever up past 10:00 p.m. I can listen online too, if I ever get the inkling. Dad said, "why are all Libertarian talk show hosts right-wing? (Dad is a Republican) He was referring to my anti-war stance, something that baffled him and made my father think I'm not 100% Libertarian. Ha! Non-initiation of force is the Libertarian creed. Unfortunately, some people like Boortz think that we actually were protecting our freedom and that the war was justifiable.  

Last night I dreamed that I was driving to Carolina Place Mall late at night (for what reason I do not know) and the mall was not in Charlotte, it was south of Charlotte. I turned wrong and ended up on Eeron Road (pronounced Iron Road) which was a big spiral of a road. Around and around I drove, around, and around, and around. I was thinking I was on the correct road (shouldn't the spiral have given me warning?) but instead of the mall I found a huge mansion.

Perhaps this dream is really about the wrong turns I have taken in Charlotte, and the fact that often I just end up in the wrong lane and can't get over. I have been driving a lot more than I bargain for.

I walk into the mansion and notice that some of it is under construction. I see initials written in black marker on the plywood and they spelled J.D.C. (or something like that). I walk into the finished majority of the mansion and notice a blue walled hallway that leads to a large room where monkeys live. A monkey comes up to me making ape like noise, and I notice the smell of monkey dung. It also is humid and smells of the outdoors.

I meet a short red-haired woman in another (fresh smelling) room, and she has a name tag. I notice her last name is Card. I explain to her that I got lost, and could she please help me find the way to the mall? "Sure" she says. As we are talking I notice a geneology list and see the name Orson Scott Card listed as one of her children. Her husband walks in and speaks to us a little.

The rest of the mansion was extremely beautiful, the most beautiful structure I had ever seen before. I tell her that her place is lovely and that I admire her son, Orson Scott Card very much for his passion for writing and his success. I wish her well and say thanks, and I head out to the mall.  Strange, huh?

Another dream I have been having has strangely repeated itself over and over again about every night this week. I dream I am taking two college courses at night, and that one is an art class. I attend my other class (business I think) regularly but keep skipping out on my art class. I feel very, very guilty and keep thinking that I need to attend my art class soon or else I will get an F. Even so, I still keep skipping my art class and still feel very bad about it.

Maybe this is the guilt that I feel for thinking that maybe I should not get an Art degree, even though art is what I feel I am best at. I have been very torn about what to major in for my B.A., perhaps I should get two majors. I don't want a typical boring graphic design production job, I want to make decisions and also be a big wig player in the community. I have thought about an English degree, Accounting, Business and a Multimedia Art Degree. Which one? Multimedia perhaps...and something more technical? Then an M.B.A. or Law...but how am I going to know if law is for me? Take a paralegal class perhaps...too many interests, too little time. 

Last night our family started listening to the audio tapes of the new Harry Potter book (Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (Book 5) -- by J. K. Rowling). The night before my daughter was reading the fourth book to me(Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ), and doing quite well. I think reading at home really helps her mental development. I am very glad she asks what words mean. I think she may get ahead this summer. -Jennifer
