A strange church day

I'm on a roll. It's been awhile since I could remember my dreams, and now this makes two in two days.

I dreamed last night that we were at church and we were going to sing a song that we had worked really hard on. It was going to be great. Steve Goodrich was going to be singing with us, and we had a lot of guests that day that came out just to hear us sing that particular song. When I started the song, though, I realized that I was the only one singing and playing. When I glanced behind me, no one was there. I finished the song, but it totally flopped. Then I found that everyone else in the band--Erick, Jay, Sarah, and Steve Goodrich--were all in a prayer room. They had decided that we should all pray together before we started the song, and somehow had forgotten to tell me. So I was mad at them for not telling me, and they were mad at me for singing without them.

Afterwards we gave everyone a tour around town. We pointed out all the different places that used to be our church or old parsonages. Then we drove to where we lived. It was a horrible, little run down trailer and all of our clothes were hanging outside. We told people, "This is our open-air closet." There was no grass in the lawn. We explained that we had planted grass three years ago when we came, but that for some reason it never grew. There was trash and toys all over the yard.

We also had a cook-out for our visitors, but we had forgotten to buy charcoal. So I fed them peanut butter and jelly instead. I had this huge jar of peanut butter that didn't have a lid on it. It had fallen behind a cabinet but I dug it out and decided it should be okay to use.

Later I put my hair in two ponytails and put a bike helmet on each ponytail. I also was wearing these long, dangly earrings. I mean, they were really long! They draped over my shoulder and hung across my chest. I wore a purple hoop and a black hoop. I looked really strange.

A dream about failed socialism

I dreamed last night that I was in charge of the maintenance crew at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. I had to make sure that Glenn and Justin were doing a good job of cleaning the bathrooms and walk through with them every so often, pointing out areas that they missed. My supervisor was so impressed with my managing skills that after awhile I was promoted to a different position.

My new job was to implement socialism in the U.S. I had to give away a number of tickets to every person in the country. These tickets were used to obtain each person's allotted amount of resources, such as fuel, food, and even housing. Everyone was to have an equal amount of everything so that things would be fair and there would be no rich or poor anymore. I dutifully handed out the tickets, but soon found that people were buying, selling, and trading tickets to each other. Before long some people had more resources than other people had. I didn't know how to stop this from happening. Even though it was against the law to buy, sell, or trade, people kept finding ways around the new law.

I was glad when I woke up from this dream--trying to enforce socialism would be a nightmare.
