Waiting Tables
So once again, I forget the beginning of my dream.
Anyway, I went to some res
Ok, just remembered. Funny how that works. Start typing it and thinking about it, and more details come pouring in.
Ok, well I can't remember how we got to the WOODS as a family / neighbor family trip, but when we came back, I went into my grandma's bathroom while still chewing on some gushers that I'd just eaten, then one started moving in my mouth so I spit it out into the bath tub, and it was an orange frog with black spots, like this. I saw that there were two more in the bathtub, and another jumped out of my mouth, making four. I went to tell my mom about it, and was asking about the bad batch of gushers with FROGS IN THEM, but she said they must have gotten in the bag when we were in the woods.
After this, I guess I may have been wanting to go back to the woods, cause I ended up walking up near my old friend Chris' house on Rhodedendron Lane, but a lot of the trees there were cleared. Specifically, where his house used to be, had become a forrest, and now it was all chopped down. There was a guy there, so I started talking to him. He asked if I used to play in the woods in the area, I said yeah. He asked about bears, I said I never saw one, and he said his escape route was always running down a stream (straighter path? I dunno), and I said we were just really quick with running down our trails.
There were some pretty tall stumps there, and he carved one really quick into a bear with a chainsaw. Then this machine came by (just like a fork lift fork, with some big thing on the end.) It pushed onto a stump and carved it into a generic looking cartoon faced bear with pointy teeth. Kinda like a crappy pumpkin carving. There were a few carvings just like this one, with little modifications. Like one had wings, etc. I went into the little trading post type thing they had there, and went up to the bar. There were a couple of my unnamed friends (I say that because in my dream I got the feeling I knew them, but I don't know who they were,) who were unsure of what to get, and the bartender poured them half shots of jack daniels, which they were groaning about. I asked for a shot of jack, he said I looked old enough (even though I was already opening my over-stuffed-with-cards wallet to get my ID), so I brought out some cash. I guess I paid with $40, cause my change was $37 or so. We counted to 3, and took our shots.
Don't remember after that until I was at this restaraunt with my family, which is the point to which I had forgotten til I started this post. While at the table, I noticed they needed someone else waiting tables, so I started doing so. I was part of the staff instantly, with black slacks, blue button up shirt, and dress shoes. Since I was new, I was kinda going around to most of the tables real quick and doing a visual check for water and stuff. I was informed that someone was needed in the bathroom, by someone important to the business, but nobody was there. I waited on a couple girls I know for dessert, and they ordered a fudge sundae and water (I think), then I went back to my family, sat down, and they waited on US for dessert (I apparently missed most of the meal). I ordered a sundae, of course. There were other good things on the menu, like some kind of strawberry waffle thing, but yanno. Ice cream. Good.
Starting about there, I think, I started losing control of my feet. While walking, I started having less traction than normal, which I first attributed to my shoes, which obviously didn't have enough traction on the soles. I was walking back and forth through the restaraunt, and the tables seemed closer together. It's hard to move quickly and change direction when you don't have traction on your feet, and it makes for quite a display I suppose. I ran into someone's leg, and apologized to them.
Shortly thereafter, the telephone rang and woke me up.
Thing is, with that traction thing, it's a fairly common recurring thing. While I have talked about being able to "hover" before, and go at high speeds (which I believe is similar to this), sometimes it's just walking around and not being able to stop. I slide, spin, whatever, as if I'm on ice. Very odd.
