That place between Sleep and Awake. A line from Hook sticks in my memory. Because I do get stuck in that place, quite often, and it’s really hard for me to pull myself out of it a lot of the time.

I just wallow in that place for the longest time until I force myself to come fully awake. Even after a nap. While sleeping on my mattress or on the couch. Doesn’t matter.

And, I will be going out of town for the next few days, won’t be back until Sunday, so this blog will probably be sleeping until then!

Oh no! When I had to get up to go to the bathroom last night about 2am, I know I was having a dream. Dangit.. it was interesting, too. But now it escapes me. Dogs… it was about the dogs, I remember that. And I think flyball… perhaps about the Townhouse my flyball team, the Thunderpaws here in Utah, is going to rent in Vegas when we go to a flyball seminar, our captain found it while looking for Vegas hotels…

Hrmph. It really bugs me when I don’t remember a dream, especially when I know I had one!

Well this isn’t a dream.. but it is a good cause. Giving a car donation to help out Car Angel Ministries to make videos for kids not only benefits the charity, but also benefits you, as you get rid of an old car!

You get a tax deduction for contributing to a charity. They will come and take your car for you, whether it is in running order or you can’t even start it up. They offer tax advice, and have excellent response time after you call them. And you don’t have to worry about selling a car, because we all know what a pain that can be!

So if you have an old car, please consider donating it to Car Angel Ministries.

I went to do some dog training this morning so didn’t get a chance to blog about my dream from last night, until now. So I hope I remember it…

I was at a flyball tournament with a couple of friends from my flyball team. I remember having the dogs in the car.. I had three of the dogs with me, and being stuck somehow. And Tatum got out, and there was a cat running around. The cat turned into a snake and disappeared into a hole, and Tatum wanted to go after it but couldn’t get into the hole. So I held onto her until the snake came back out. But by then we were distracted because our friends had their dog in their car with a cat, too. And there was a very cute black dog in there (looked like my border collie, Chase, but a bit different).

I seem to remember being inside a building too, and trying to run from someone.. but now that isn’t coming back to me as well. It’s interesting, dream memories. What I remember, and what I don’t remember. When I go on trips and stay in Branson hotels, I don’t seem to dream as vividly as when I’m home.

Okay I have to dig up my dream from last night. I haven’t had much computer time today until now. I’m going to start with the second part of the dream, and hope the first part comes back.

I think this dream is because I’ve been listening to the book Fablehaven. It’s an okay book so far. Not as good as Harry Potter, I guess some people have said it is as good. But I’m giving it a go.

Anyway so … okay, I’m going to start from the first part now, it just came back to me.

Going to sleep last night under Seagull lighting I drifted off pretty quickly. The first part of the dream was almost like I was watching it third person. It wasn’t me.. but in a way it was. I was not really a nun, but I was in a convent of some type. It reminded me of dog camp. But cleaner. LOL. And I was going to leave, but needed to take the test to see if the convent would keep me or not. And I did pass the test, and I could stay.. but there was a man who was courting me. And he was wonderful, and so I retook the test and it came back that no, I couldn’t stay. I had to leave.

I had no where to go, so I had to find where this man who fancied me lived because I needed to stay with him. So I found out where he lived and we went to his house. There was a group of us by that time.. and getting to his house was a bit dangerous. He had this sanctuary and there were dangerous animals there. One was a very large, black bull.

The man had built his house on the top of a very precarious ridge on a mountain. It was hard to get there, and the regular passageway was guarded by the bull. So we had to go up the rickety wooden framework of stairs and ramps he had built that the bull couldn’t go on. Or else the bull would chase us and harm us in some way.

The walk up the wooden framework was very scary, but we made it up. And the house was not very solid when we walked on it. The areas that were on the rock were okay, though. The man was there, and he was very handsome and was very glad to see me. I ended up marrying him, and we were able to open up the regular passageway to the house and have it be secured from the bull.

Another strange one!

I am always looking for business cards. Maybe not in my dreams… but for my dog things. I’m thinking of getting some for my Tip Tail blog. And I have some for Utah Dogs but I’d really like to get some new ones. And I don’t even have any for Utah Collie Rescue, and really I need some for that!

I have to say, the Business Card creator from Logo Yes is the easiest I’ve ever used. And they have a lot of great log images, especially animals! And I’m always looking for animals. What a great logo design company these guys are. I am impressed and will be looking their site over more closely.

The color on the card automatically match the color that I used for the logo image. And I like this little guy, isn’t he cute! This is just a test card for Pixie Tail, but I think this has a lot of potential for my other sites too!

He he fun title eh?

Last night my dream started in a house… my house… similar to my other house dreams. And there were a couple of other people there and we were kinda trapped in the house, it was dangerous outside. There was a man there… he was very attractive and soft, I can only describe him as soft, and just because he had a gentle, wonderful personality. He was strong, distant, yet gentle at the same time. Dark hair, not much taller than me, and extremely good looking.

I think some of this dream came from watching Desperado last night with Antonio Banderas. That man is total eye candy.

I wanted to dance with this man, he didn’t have a name I remember, and we danced around the kitchen and living room. Almost tripping into another room. He liked me as well as my liking him, too. And we danced around and it was wonderful and sweet.

Then afterwards we went to a movie with friends in a huge theater (that sounds familiar from another dream) and sat in the chairs. It was a huge dome that was opaque, but a little bit see through. You could see shadows beyond when no light was shining on it. I checked my pocket watch to see what time the movie was gong to start… but the movie didn’t start. Instead something happened and I’m not sure what caused it…

Suddenly we were all on another planet, or the outside of the theater was all dead and we had to live in the theater. Maybe this is from watching Life After People on the History Channel the other day.

So we all had to live in this theater and it was cramped and odd. Me and this man and some other friends lived in a certain area. It was our apartment. And outside people were living in the rafters that were open, on the grass (like the cats in Life After People).

Eventually there were dinosaurs that appeared, too, and would chase us around. Kinda like the movie Godzilla. Man, I watch too many movies. LOL. And there were little ones that chased us through the theater. And at the end of the dream we were looking up at the opaque theater screen/ceiling, and there was a silhouette of a very huge Tyrannosaurus Rex up there, and we were terrified, and didn’t know where we could run to.

We managed to get out of the theater and found that the planet had recovered, and was green and flowing and wonderful and beautiful. So we made our way out there. And the man decided he had to go off on his own, so he sailed down a big river and I watched him leave, but I was okay with it because we both had our own paths to follow.

Hrmmm…!

So yesterday I got the wind about a flyball seminar that’ll be happening in Las Vegas in March. I quickly got my forms together, wrote my check, and sent it off in the mail.

It’s by Touch n Go, one of the best flyball teams in U-FLI in the country. So, I hope to bring Chase and get some good ideas on his box turn and speed.

Anyway, so of course I dreamed about it last night. I didn’t find any online coupons for the seminar in my dream, but I dreamed that it was run absolutely horribly! I am fairly certain it will be run very well and smoothly, so it’s strange about my dream.

I dreamed that we were practicing outside, and there was dog poop in the path the dog took to run to the box. And Chase would stop and sniff it, then mosey to the box with no speed or enthusiasm. I was angry that they left poop in the dog’s lane!

Then we moved inside… and there was a couple of dogs just wandering around, through the lanes, and Chase couldn’t get by them. I was just holding Chase until the dogs left. I was so mad that they let dogs wander around.

And the box loader was awful inside. She put this big huge ball on the wrong side of the box that Chase couldn’t even grab with his mouth it was too big. So finally I put him in a wait, and walked to the box and loaded it myself, then went back and released Chase. He ran beautifully and did a great job! He just needs someone organized!

LOL. Too weird that I was so frustrated with them in my dream.

When I went down to a tournament that they held, it was run very efficiently and well, so my waking belief is that the seminar will be the same.

I actually am not sure if I’ve dreamed of money… probably. I dream of everything else. I have such elaborate dreams, too. Sometimes, in my waking hours, I dream about a good quality checking account. WaMu has them, too, and you can even earn interest on your checking account if you chose the premier account.

They have a great web site, and a friendly attitude, too! I enjoy reading their The WaMu Difference page.. they are informal, and fun!

I have had airplane dreams before. This one was similar.

I dreamed that I was getting on an airplane, and waiting in the waiting room. I think we were going on a cruise (I am going on a real cruise in October 2008). Got onto the airplane, nothing really eventful happened. We had 2 layovers we had to be on.

The first stop we had to change planes and we disembarked. I don’t know who I was with. Friends… but none of the friends I really know or recognized. I remember getting off the plane and realizing I’d forgotten my purse on board. So I told my good friend, who was a man, and I went back to get my purse. I had to climb down some stairs that were like fire escapes. And half way there I realized my purse was, actually, over my shoulder and I just had forgotten it there. But I was embarrassed to admit this to my friend (who probably had seen it but actually didn’t see it..?) so I kept on going all the way to the plane, going down ramps and fire escape like stairs.

I got to the plane and it had already gone, there was a big container like a truck and people were getting into it, and they were going to be enclosed into an airplane later for transport.

So I turned around and went back to the terminal and told my friend I’d gotten my purse. =P

We got on the next plane and I’d realized I had planned and packed for this whole big European trip (it turned to a European trip somehow) and forgot my knitting. So I was stuck on the plane with nothing to do. And I kept thinking I’d buy needles and yarn in Europe so I could knit.

The next layover was an odd one. I remember getting in my old Toyota pickup and having to drive to the next plane. My brain didn’t understand why I had to drive, but I did. And it was by Denver, Colorado and I got on the right freeway, but 30 minutes out I realized I was going West, and I was supposed to go East, so I’d been going the wrong way. I had to turn around illegally and I was afraid the cops would catch me but they didn’t. And the roads were so confusing I wasn’t sure where I was going.

Then there was a shortcut to the freeway through a field, and somehow I was walking with some other people, and we were forcing our way through a fence that led to an underground tunnel that would take us to the right road. I kept thinking I should call my friend with my cell to tell him I’m probably not going to make the flight and he should just go without me.

About then I woke up. Gotta love dreams, eh?
