16th & 17th November 2002

16th November

The first I remember of this dream was walking along a pavement in a town on my own. I can see a neighbor I recognize but have never spoken to before. He has a clipboard and some equipment. He looks like he is doing a survey, but at this point in time he looks like he is too nervous to ask anyone. I kind of hang around hoping he’ll ask me because I want to know what he is up to. Eventually he comes over and asks me to be part of the survey. He is surveying about emotions. I had read a report about emotions earlier in the week and wondered if this was why he was doing the survey. The report broke emotions down into six groups of something or other.

Somehow my answer went into signs, which then changed into me watching a cycle race. For part of the race the competitors had to go round and do laps of an area before moving on further down the course. Whilst the riders went past the traffic lights, the red light flashed the number of times there were laps left. When the laps were complete the green light went on. I thought this was a wonderful idea.

17th November

I’m at a gathering with my family and other people of that age. The gathering spans several gardens and I have been helping the males clear stuff out of the way so that the gathering has less barriers.

I take my digital camera out of my pocket to take a photo, but it catches fire where the batteries are. I quickly act to put the fire out but I am very unhappy of the situation and start blaming the people that asked me to help move the things about. These people don’t seem to care at all and I get angrier and angrier the less sympathy is shown.
