Memorial Day Dream 2024
Dreamed I was working in a place but it looked like my bedroom which was super messy. Eventually we all started cleaning stuff out and one girl made a comment that I was still in bed but there was only one bathroom and someone else was using it so I couldn't get out of bed yet anyway.
A lot of the mess we started cleaning out was pretty dresses and shirts and clothes. I was working with two older sort of manager women to sort and hang up the clothes. One was telling me something the head of the FBI or someone told about how important organizing or hanging your clothes correctly was, partly meaning that how your shirt or dress hangs can conceal or reveal.
They left and I continued hanging the clothing, enjoying the look and feel of the fabrics. One dress I picked up was pretty pink and peach, but when I turned it to inspect it, it was swarming with bees on the inside.
There were a few other people in the room and I told them we had to leave. I went outside to get some air. When I came back inside, there were bugs everywhere. Some were big and some little, and the effect was of watching a horror movie.
Someone came to get me and take me to see the manager because they asked to see me, probably because I'd lose my job. They said to just be quiet. They took me through a sort of warehouse, and pointed to a hallway where the store director should be. I couldn't find anyone so I started looking. Eventually I ended up getting a bit lost and looking at another location for a manager. I drove up to a place, thinking it was the right spot and went inside.
It looked a little like a store or a school inside with lots of people and activity going on inside. I was still a bit lost and looking for a manager to see. I was overhearing certain conversations and something caught my attention, that it seemed all the conversations were military in nature, people talking about wars and losing people, etc. I thought that was strange, but eventually I found what I thought was the manager, but he didn't really talk to me about my job but only introduced himself and made some small talk. He had a bit of an accent and a foreign sounding name, like Russian or something. He met with some other people who seemed a bit foreign too, big strong guys, but I couldn't make out much of their conversations. I was feeling that there was something really strange about the whole situation. I kept looking around and overheard someone say it was a military base, and I was thinking no way but it made sense why I was hearing conversations about those topics. Also I started seeing some people in uniform.
I found a place with people sitting around like an airport terminal. I was given some food in a plastic container. It was mainly fruit, I think. The best part was a little container of what I think was dragon fruit. There was a woman with her friend and two kids and we sort of shared our meal.
Then I overheard someone telling a story of a girl who'd come on the base for something to do with college or something, and she hadn't known that it wasn't allowed for anyone to be on this base and she'd found out the rule that if anyone was found on this base who wasn't supposed to be there they have to serve if they're needed and can't just leave without permission.
Well I started looking for an exit at that point. I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get out, but luckily there was a person coming in while I was going out. As soon as I was outside I noticed it seemed very dark outside. I tried to take off my sunglasses but it was still very dark, almost like night. I looked up at the sky and realized that there were enormous black storm clouds like pillars filling half the sky, and so dark you could barely make them out. Lightning struck, a white streak through the blackness.
A guy came up and was talking with me. I told him a storm was coming and to get to shelter and he thanked me.
The storm was suddenly on top of us and I couldn't find my car. I could see tiny tornadoes by the building like dust devils. The wind almost knocked me over and the lightning crackled overhead, suddenly much closer. People were running for the building's entrance and I realized if I couldn't reach it I might not make it through the storm. Then I awoke.
Can Spiders Fly?
Yes, spiders have at least two methods of flight. One method they have is to use a spider-silk thread that carries them on the wind. The other, I discovered recently, is to use their legs. I was walking on a newly-paved stretch of path, minding my own business, when I noticed coming up along-side me a strange-looking bug. At first, I thought it was a flying insect, but it didn't look like any flying insect I'd ever seen before. It was just hovering along-side me at eye-level, going just slightly faster than I was walking. I inspected it a little closer... it was a spider! It had the look of a top-heavy flight plane where the wings are fully under the body. The 'wings' were actually the spider's spindly little legs tremulously undulating in the wind. It appeared to be attempting to follow the same pathway I was following and eventually I watched it land a few feet in front of me on the pavement. I was able to say 'hi' and get a closer look. It wasn't timid at all but kept trying to climb up on me. Maybe it thought it would get a free ride! Now I have a new respect for spiders with spindly legs. ❤️
Spring thunderstorm clouds. They made thunder and lightning over the ocean yesterday. I think it was the first storm of the season. ⛈️
