The second of today’s short sleep segments brought me a dream that was interesting not only in its extreme detail but also because it featured the return of a character from a previous dream, one from a few nights ago that I remembered while in this most recent dream and which I remember very well now, but that I didn’t remember when waking from the sleep segment in which that first dream happened. This returning character is one who only exists in my dreams, I can’t relate her to anyone I know, have known, or know about.
The setting of this dream was a tire store in Bloomington, IN, where I actually did work for a short time many years ago.
In my dream…
It was late at night, many years after I’d been employed at the store. I was passing by and noticed that the lights were on in the showroom and office area and a few of the big bay doors were standing wide open. But I couldn’t see any work going nor were any of the workers, salesmen, or managers anywhere to be seen. And it was several hours past the store’s closing time. Curious, that. I decided to check the situation out.
Walking into the showroom, I called out, “Hello there!” But I got no answer. After waiting a few minutes and still hearing nothing but silence I walked back into the darkened work area to see if I could find anyone there. I saw no one and no sign of any work going on. All the lights were off, the only illumination coming from the windows to the showroom and the open bay doors. Again I called out but again I heard no response.
Then I saw that other folks had noticed the store lights on. A few people had come into the showroom and were looking around at the displays as if they were wanting to buy something or schedule some work and were expecting a salesman to help them. I had to explain that the store was closed, even though it looked like it was open, and they should leave.
As they were leaving, I noticed some cars pulling up to the side of the store. Heading over to them I again found potential customers expecting service.
And… I also saw an attractive woman standing in the shadows by a workbench. I recognized her as the woman from that other dream of a few nights ago. And she recognized me, too! “Hey,” she smiled when I approached her, “I know you! You’re the guy who…” And then she reminded me of the time we spent together in that other dream, and she smiled again and hugged me.
I quickly explained the situation and asked her if she’d want to help me lock up the store after I got rid of the other people. “Just you and me?” she asked. “Oh yeah, let’s do it!”
The rest of the dream consisted of me trying to get rid of people who kept coming up to the store while I was trying to shut the doors and turn out the lights. I never did get to spend any alone time with that woman. Not in this dream, anyway.
I wonder if she’ll show up again?
