I was visiting Rena, except she lived in my Nana's house. In the middle of the house there was a well. It had gone dry and Matt was digging deeper to get to water. I took a look and dug just a centimeter more and water began seeping through. I was there alone with the kids and all of the sudden the front corner of the house began to move. The ground under it was saturated with water and was breaking this part of the house off. It was easy enough to get off that section. The room slowly drifted towards the river that was behind the house. Once it hit the river it floated and hit a sand bar. I was able to tie it off so that it would not go any further down the river. There were lots of people on or near the river and I was worried about some of the antiques that were in that portion of the house being stolen but I went back to the house. After a while, I looked out the window and saw that half of the rest of the house was breaking away and drifting towards the river. Now there was an out right flood. Me and the kids were in that section of the house, and I managed to get all of the kids, and the dog off of that section as it went towards the river. Once it got there it also floated but it was faster now with the flood. It quickly floated downstream out of site. Also there were two men on jet skis who had tied ropes to the other portion of the house and were now trying to steal it. At first I thought they were trying to help but they were just thieves. When Rena got back, what part of the house was left had been flooded and all her antiques were ruined. She was so distraught about where she was going to live and what she was going to do now. I pointed out that she had insurance so she didn't have to worry too much financially, though it wouldn't cover everything. We also realized that there was a two story two bedroom house on the back of her property, closer to the river. She said yeah, but it was old and full of junk, it was more of a storage place. We went back there and started looking through the house. Indeed it was dusty, and in need of a good cleaning. However it was full, to the point of warehouse proportions, of antiques even better and more interesting than those she had lost. In fact the antiques she lost were not hers, and these were. Some of them were growing mold but not to the point of ruin. We also found a gold rimmed mirror, as well as some other gold guilded furniture. We also realized how cute this house was and that it would serve her needs well. She was happy and content.
Sherri and Todd were looking to buy some property. Sheri and I were driving around in a golf cart looking at different land. We saw an areal view of a property that followed along a river. It was beautiful and lush. We decided to try and go see it, and hope that the golf cart would make it that far, about an hour away. If not, Jon and Todd would find us an pick us up. On the way, we stopped by a garage sale which my Uncle Terry and my cousins were running. We headed off to the property and when we got there, it was literally the river. The land for sale was the river and the land, forest directly on either side of it. Though it was beautiful and fertile, there was only one spot to build a house and it was not very large, and it was too close to a subdivision and to the river.

Baby Zander
I think this has to do with my anxiety over Caedon getting lost and found yesterday.
Jon came back from Kentucky and I was 9 months pregnant. We were really glad he made it. We went to our midwife to get checked out and she said I would have the baby today. So we stayed at her office and waited...and waited...and waited. At one point she asked me if I was still feeling the baby move. I said that I hadn't felt the baby move the entire pregnancy. She started looking concerned. I attributed it to a placenta in front or something. Just then the baby stuck it's foot up and you could see the foot print on my skin. I made Jon take a picture. Then I realized I had like a kangaroo pouch so I looked in and saw the baby was not head down. I reached in and turned it head down and pushed it a little. The baby didn't like this but I pushed real hard and the baby came out the bottom of the pouch. It was not in good shape. It had a normal sized head, covered in dark hair like Charis', but the body was so skinny and small. I handed him right over to the midwife and asked her what was wrong. She and the other midwives there went to work with oxygen and calling 911. None of them would say what was wrong. They air lifted him to the hospital and Jon and I headed that way to see him. As we were leaving I asked one more time and another midwife said the water was so dark the baby must have been in distress for some time. My labor was so short and mild the problem must have been for some time. I said inter uterine growth something. She said yeah and corrected my verbiage. When I got to the hospital someone we knew was already there. It was a man we know, but I don't remember who it was now. He took us to the nicu to see our baby. We were looking through the window and he pointed him out. This baby was just fine and fat and sitting up already. I said no, that's not him, that's an older child. He said oh....how bout this one. We went down a little and not, I remembered the baby when it was born and that wasn't it...plus our baby was a boy! We went down a little more and I said that's him! He was covered in wires and tubes not looking to well. The nurse asked what his name was and I said it was Zander. She started to feed him and I decided I needed to go pump some milk. My trip home was easy because we had parked the trailer in the hospital parking lot.

Land of Laws
It was the end of the age. Most people were gone from the earth leaving whole cities open for inhabitation by whoever. We found a community of people...a lot of people. For some reason we had to go to the hospital. It was there we realized the oppression of the people. One doctor was being held against his will until he figured out why so many women were having miscarriages. We also found out that every woman was required to have as many babies as possible to boost the population. I was put in a room with several women. On woman was pregnant but not in good shape. Her hair was covered in giant lice and scabs. She was beaten, bruised and dirty. I took her to the restroom and started cleaning her up. She was also here against her will. She told me her name was Derek, which that particular name was looked down on by the establishment. Her boyfriends name was Even (like odd and even, or I'll get even). His name was also wrong. They were going to name their baby, Baby, just to be subversive. There were a lot of things in this community that were illegal. I asked her why she stayed if it was so oppressive. She said there was no where else to go. I told her of all the places that were empty in the world and she could go live wherever she wanted. I let her finish cleaning up and went back into my room. There was a lady there who had just had a baby, it was crying (and also the size of a two year old). I asked her if she had tried to feed it. She said she had fed it 120cc at 5:00 and that was the law. I said she might want to try and feed it again, and she said she couldn't that would be illegal. I made a raspberry sound, like whatever, and she said not to do that because rude sounds were illegal too. I finally comforted the baby and got him to sleep. About that time a nurse came in and tried to take the baby from me. I asked her what she was doing and she said she needed to take him to the nursery. I said she would wake him and she said so what. I said it's illegal to wake a sleeping baby. Oh , she said and left. About that time Eythan came in dressed all funny and had cups on his hands and feet. He was trying to cheer up all the patients. On of the ladies in my room told him to stop, what he was doing was illegal. A nurse ran in and told him to get off the floor, it was illegal. I said that was probably a good idea though. Then a commotion began outside. Jon rand in and said we had to leave. Apparently while I was there, Jon had been telling people about he wide wide world too. Now there were buses waiting to take people to new places and start a new freer community. All the women in my room wanted to go, so I helped them pack up their babies and we ran to the buses. They were all full and leaving except the last one. We were running to get on the last bus.

Battle with Brothers
There were two brothers. They were both drafted to go into battle. One brother didn't want to go, so a guy who liked like Sahed from Lost wearing a green shirt and green pants, with the wavy black hair, goatee and darker complexion, volunteered to take his place. He and the other brother went into battle. They were riding in the back of an army type truck. The enemy was firing at them, they were sitting ducks. Bullets were striking the guy, grazing his arms and sometimes his legs. It hurt him but there was not much blood, and none of it was fatal. He began to grow and soon it was like Gulliver's travels and the Lilliputians. Even planes were the size of birds to him and they were dropping bombs on him which were either bouncing off or causing him little bother. He looked kind of funny still in the truck, like a clown in a little car. Soon the other brother came back to him and thanked him for taking his place, and they all decided it was time to leave but they were surrounded by the enemy. There was a giant map and the way out and their positions were marked with red licorice, or twizzlers. The enemy positions were marked with flies. They flies were trying to cover the licorice, but all they had to do was brush them away so they could see their way out.

two repeated church dreams/musical/cathedral
This is very unusual. I dreamed this dream no less than 4 times.
#1 - I walked outside of our church building and to the left there were cabinets, file cabinets, and large children's items like highchairs and such. I was with Rena and we were wondering what was going on. Just about that time, Mike opened the file cabinet and a flock of white doves flew out.
#2 - Everything was the same, except the items were to the right and the children's items were in the parking lot. I stopped Mike and asked him what was going on, because I had dreamed this. He said they were getting rid of some stuff. This time a woman walked up, obviously needy, and asked if she could buy the highchair. Mike told her for $75. I said "MIKE! Just give it to her!" Then a flock of white doves flew out of the highchair, and at the same time someone opened the filing cabinet and a flock of white doves flew out of it.
#3 - I was telling Jason and Charity Jobst about the previous dreams.
#4 - I was telling Mike about the dreams. This time the stuff was between the two buildings. Mike was circling me and looking at me like he was sizing me up. It made me really nervous to tell him the dream. The dream was also happening as I was telling him behind us. The lady asked how much for the highchair and I told Mike just to give it to her. ...doves come out of the chair and the cabinet. Mike said "It could be a dream from God and it could just be a dream. We'll have to wait and see." I could tell he didn't think it meant anything. Then I saw a feather behind the file cabinet. It was very large a squishy. I said "Stupid seagulls, oh well, I've really been needing a feather for a science project." But Mike took it away ans wouldn't let me have it.
This dream I had twice:
#1 - My church was at my parents church. They have a couple acres of land and the church had decided to make some revenue by planting a corn field. Bob Attaway was in farmers cloths and he was driving the Green John Deer tractor that was plowing the fields for us to plant. There were a lot of crows around so we decided that we needed a scarecrow before we planted the seeds.
#2 - I was telling the Jobst about the dream. I also had an ear of corn. It was very tough to peel. I was trying to peel it while I was telling them the dream. It had so much silk I couldn't get to the corn, so I started eating the silk. When I got to the scarecrow part, I was back in the dream. We got a scare crow and put it up. Bob was done plowing and he looked really tired and ragged. No one paid him any mind. He just stood there a while and then walked off. I watched him and then Mike came up to me and said we needed to talk. He took me upstairs (which is normally to me the children's area) that he had turned into an office complex. We had to walk past his secretary's desk to get into his office. When I got in his office, It either wasn't Mike, or Mike had changed into a power suite and dyed his hair blond.
Other dreams:
We were on the beach and decided to get a bite to eat. We went into a restaurant that was below ground next to a subway and there were all these people dressed in frilly black and white costumes. I realized I knew some of them. They were friends from High school and College who were doing a musical next door. They invited us to come in. We went to some of the musical, but they really didn't have their stuff together and it was very embarrassing.
We were at a fair with some friends. We got a funnel cake. One of the friends said they needed to go to the bathroom. We went into this Gothic looking building. There was a pub there and they pointed to the restroom. One of the friends decided to go in the opposite direction to snoop around. When we went around the corner there was a magnificent insides of a cathedral . Looking up, it was white and domes with many angles in between. The acoustics where phenomenal. The entire area was stained white. We went on and in the next area was a grander cathedral. Looking up it was domed and covered in gold lining and red. The floor had red carpet with gold embossing. It was deathly quite here. There were rows and rows of tables. Each table was filled with busts. They were not of stone though, they were apparently made of wax. We realized we were probably not supposed to be here, as all the busts had some significant political or religious meaning and were quite well done. There were people from all eras. About half way down the isle I thought I saw movement. I looked around and one of the busts blinked at me. To my horror I realized that the busts we actually the heads of these people and they were alive. We went into the next room that had the most important heads and they were very animated but never made a sound, This room was more of an entryway though, like a foyer with glass doors to the outside. We heard something and hid. A group of monks dressed in red came by swinging some kind of burning incenses and chanting. We decided we should leave. We did out a side door. At some point we wanted to show someone else, but we could never find the room with the heads, only the white cathedral.
The family and I were coming home from a storm. We stopped at McDonald's to eat. The drive through wasn't open so we parked there in the shade, the lady upfront told us it was fine. Caedon got out of the truck somehow and was running around the the side of the building. Eythan got out and ran after him. I ran up behind him and there was an old truck with an old woman and a younger but not so young man. The man got upset because we were in the drive through and I told him it wasn't open. He started hyperventilating or something and the old lady said "SEE, you've made him sick now. Call the paramedics!!!" I called the paramedics and then the guy seemed fine. I said "Look, now they ambulance is coming and your fine!" He said "No, that's what this disease does. It makes you think your fine and then BAM! Your dead!" Then they both started ranting and raving about how they won't make the dance competition and how they'll never dance again. About that time the ambulance got there and i took Caedon and Eythan back to the truck. Jon had moved the truck and there was a new mustang hitched up to the back. I was so annoyed with him for buying a new car. He said not to worry about it because they said he could try it out for a couple days and then return it when we got home.

voice teacher/gladiator
I was in school and I was assigned a voice teacher, but she just followed me around all day and taught me that way. Later I was going through the lunch line with a friend. The school lunches were terrible and they would only give you a half a sloppy joe and a little bit of french fries. My friend wanted more french fries so I reached over the counter and got her some. I told the serving person that if we were going to pay for this crap, at least we should get a decent amount. It turned out then that the serving guy was Josh from the Disney show Drake and Josh. We all decided to ditch school and go to the movies. We got caught at the movies and got detention which my voice teacher was not happy about.
I drove with all the kids and a friend with a lot of kids somewhere, I had to go back early so I took the car and kept getting lost. When I got back I went to school but I was late for my class. When I got there the teacher was Simon from American idol, but he wasn't upset. It was a history class but we were watching some movie about a squirrel. The girl next to me asked if I wanted to see her picture album and I started looking a it. I started noticing that I was in some of them and I looked up and I realized it was a friend from high school Gina Miller. We talked about fun times in high school for a while and then I went back to watching the movie. Now it was a movie in the like Roman times. Some queen was having an affair with a gladiator, however the king was OK with that because he and the queen couldn't have children together. All of the royal children were actually offspring of the gladiator and the queen. The three of them actually loved each other equally. Word of this got out and they were trying to contain it, and the queen was having a baby. The baby was really fat and cute. There was a ceremony where the new baby was put on the floor, and traced with chalk. You could see the outlines of all the other children she had had. The king told the gladiator that he had to leave so this whole mess would be cleared up. The gladiator began to cry as he held his new baby, and looked at all the other children he had sired that called him "uncle". He told the king "Kill me, or order your army to hunt me down because I can not leave on my own. I can not make myself leave." His heart was breaking, and so was the king and queen's.
