the Tree stands alone

August 11, 2017

I dreampt I was walking my dog around the yard at my parent's house.  As we came around the back of the house I found two older men on the property just talking and walking around.  When I asked them to move to made like they would but then didn't.  I began to yell at them but they acted very menacing and started to chase me. I realized that one of the men had a knife.  As I ran down the hill toward the pine trees I realized that a friend from down the street was coming over to help me.  As she reached us one of the men stabbed her.  I know my dog would not have attacked the men but I didn't drop his leash because we were close to the road and I was more worried about cars than the two men.  After they stabbed my friend the man came after me, I fell into the trees and then I woke up.

I went for a run on a trail.  For a while I was running on a train track but it crossed over a river.  I thought the trestle was too rickety so I tried to climb down the embankment to cross the water.  When that didn't work I began to climb back up.  A tree at the bank started to fall down the hill and toward the water.  I actually saw the tree fall twice or maybe there were two trees. I got back on the trail and the tree fell down into the water but as I ran home I saw what I thought was the same tree now in the middle of the trestle.  It broke the trestle and the bridge and tree fell into the water.  I just ran home after that and didn't tell anyone about it.

If a tree falls in your dreams does it make a sound?

It was sometime in the past, maybe medieval.  There was a princess whose kingdom was being taken over.  Princess isn't totally accurate since she controlled a village and dressed much more practically.  She had been beaten and her nose was all red and her face bruised.  The villagers tried to rescue the princess by luring the soldiers into the woods with promises of sex.  That didn't work so they got a lot of liquor.  I don't know if they stored the liquor in the trees or if they harvested the liquors from way up high. The villagers had to attach all these gourds to their belts and then get all the way up in the trees to retrieve the alcohol.  It was hard to climb up but on the way down they sort of clipped to the rope and spun around and around so all the gourds flared out. This part was in slow motion. They got the soldiers good and drunk, then beat them all up.  At the end I saw the princess and her husband eating watermelon so I guess everything worked out ok.

I think this was related to a dream I had a few nights back in which I lived in the woods and was raising wolves that could climb trees.   The wolves were very naughty so a lot of the dream was just me yelling "you get down here right now."

I dreampt we had a performer visit at work but I got sick and had to go home and change clothes. When I got back to work it was night time even though I had left mid-afternoon.  I had a really hard time parking my car because all the tires were tilted outward so I couldn't  get close to the curb. 

hide and go seek

I dreampt I was trying to sleep under a tree but I was also hiding so no one would find me or wake me up. It had something to do with a game, like wacky day long hide and go seek or something.
