Why I dream of bacon...

Okay, so a friend mentioned a dream to me today and said in passing that she should have it analyzed. So naturally, I turned to the genius of the Internet and decided to analyze my own crazy Vegas dream through the wisdom of the Dream Dictionary...enjoy!

Elevator - so what does it mean when they are just sitting there? Anyone?

• To dream that you are ascending in an elevator, suggests that you will quickly rise to status and wealth. You may have risen to a higher level of consciousness and are looking at the world from an elevated viewpoint. Descending in an elevator, suggests that you are being grounded or coming back down to reality. It also signifies setbacks and misfortunes.
• The up and down action of the elevator represents the ups and downs of your life. It also symbolizes emotions and thoughts that are emerging out of and submerging into your subconscious. Alternatively, the dream may have sexual connotations.
• To dream that the elevator is out of order or that it is not letting you off, symbolizes that your emotions have gotten out of control. It may be a reflection of your life or your career. You are feeling stuck in some aspect of your life, whether it is your career, relationship, etc.

Girls - okay, this seems reasonable, I mean, I AM 15 after all...

Shopping - color me intrigued...

In particular, to dream that you are shopping for food and groceries, signifies your hidden attempt to buy the attention of others.

Box - okay, these are starting to freak me out a bit...

• To see a box in your dream, signifies your instinctual nature and destructive impulses. Alternatively, you may be trying to preserve and protect some aspect of yourself. The box may also symbolize your limitations and restrictions. Consider the pun of "being boxed in".

If opening the box fills you will fear, you may be uncovering aspects of yourself that cause you to feel anxious.

Baby - so if the baby's riding around in a jeep?

Bacon - I love the first part...bacon = essential...oh yes...

So, at the end of the day, my conclusion is the same...I'm completely cracked!!

Waking up in Vegas...

I really can't adequately describe the crazy dream I just woke up from...I'll just share some of the images...

When the dream began, or at least what I remember happening first, I was at Oracle, working on Oracle things, with Oracle people. And there were a lot of elevators.

And then I was outside and getting in a line of 12 or 13 girls, the 13th apparently being important; some were the 13th girl's friends, some were pulled in from various sorority houses nearby. That's right. Sorority houses.

Next, I was in a store that sold lots of little figurine type things, and I was looking for something for my mom, something with a cactus on it. Why? Exactly. I'm not exaggerating when I say there were millions of things in this store. MILLIONS. I asked a clerk for assistance and she took me to another room where she proceeded to move a ginormous stuffed something in order to get to what she wanted to show me: a box with a cactus on it that sort of flipped upside down, and apparently, gave off different scents. I sniffed and only smelled wood. She was insistent that each side held a different scent. I don't think I bought the box.

Right before I woke up, I was driving around in a jeep, and there was a baby in it. And then we were by my church, sort of. I saw our worship director going into the building, that's the only reason I know it was my church.

And then, someone walked toward me with a slab of bacon and showed me a very odd tattoo which led me to get excited. Apparently this tattoo, which to me looked like two thirds of a triangle was supposed to indicate that my hometown was now represented.

I couldn't make this stuff up people!

I guess that's what I get for waking up in Vegas...and man, I seriously need some bacon now!
