Weird Dreams

So I listened to some of my yoga music to lull me into sleepyland, where I dreamed weirdly. Said dream snippets included:

* Being in some sort of cult or group with my ex, I think she was involved with the group / cult leader (male)

* Holding hands in a big circle in said group, and having an ecstatic experience whilst there. We were in a circle, and two people were shaking chimes in the next room (visible through a large window) and then a large candle was flying around in the chime shaking room, which only I could see. And then I kind of collapsed back onto a counter and when they tried to revive me, fell onto the floor.

* Came to, went out to my car, where I found another set of keys in the ignition (the cult leaders, I thought) and the steering wheel had been broken as if I had been using "the Club" which had been cut off.

* I took my car to drive my youngest brother to high school (he is now closing in on 40) and on the way there was fretting about my own high school or college classes. (even though in the dream I was rationalizing that I had already graduated from both)

* Ran into a house / apartment that I used to live at (not an actual place) and forgot my key (since the cult leader keys in the car ignition were not mine), but teh door was open, and when I got in, I realized it was someplace I used to live but someone else lives there now (sidebar comment: Who lives here?), so I backed out slowly.

* Came out of the apartment to my car to find a cat sleeping in the front seat, and my dog (loosely based on Nispy) was in the back (my car had become a pick-up tuck somehow) barking at the cat. I let teh ddog in the window, the cat jumped out.

* Ended up in a CVS with my sister, thinking if I should start xmas shopping. On teh way out to my car, a man and a woman started harassing us. I got all butch on the woman, they backed off, but my sister fell and her pants got all wet in snow. But then came back to get us. As the dream ended, I opened the car door, my sister got in the passenger side, and turned to confront the man on the drivers side. The man had a small vial which he injested (sniffed) - I think it was glue or poppers or speed or something - and was about to hit me, and I was raising my arms in front of me in a yoga-ish way to block the blow.

Then I woke up.
