Beth, Rex, and a knife 9/14/23

dream: someone kidnapped me; bunch of friends and family came to my rescue. Someone else with me; my sister Beth. Only somehow she was both the kidnapper and a fellow victim thereof.

were in a basement, bare light bulb overhead. tied and then being untied. Beth was laughing at having fooled me with the kidnapping "joke", and I was shrugging it off, amd Rex was staring at me as if I were particularly stupid. Beth was sitting up higher than me, on a table maybe, not tied but sitting like she was. Rex asked me what was WRONG with me, and I said, gesturing, well it's not like she used a knife or anything, and this knife flies in from somewhere and goes right through Beth's hand pinning it to the table or whatever.
Then everybody's staring at me. Beth is mad and Rex looks befuddled. I say well, i didn't even know there was a knlfe, and then everyone started talking over each other all at once, and I just wanted out of there because it was diisturbing me that that knife moved through the air when I gestured, so I woke up. I was a bit befuddled then.

 Dreams trying to tell me something; also general malaise.

Yesterday: went to work for this family as a nanny/au pair/mommy's helper . Man in wheel chair sometimes on oxygen sometimes not. Rather nondescript. Woman,mother working corporate type .managing everything. Two children one of each. Go on excursion (amusement park?fair?) Have to go to bathroom when we get back, woman directs me to it. While using toilet i hear sounds and pull away shower curtain to see a skinny brown haired girl hiding in there from this stranger who just rushed in and did her bizness. in the morning woman is giving man his medicine and i hear a prefix to one of the meds that she is giving which tells me he has some advanced form of COPD and i ask her and she says yes.

After that I am reading the contract that outlines my duties and i keep thinking that i didn't know i was supposed to do that! Woman sees me reading and is surprised because I'm already doing the work.

*"""""*"*****""******** Today

Back in same situation and then i remember that this was just a crazy dream i had, but it feels important. So i start talking to other person discussing possible messages thereof.

Then something unsettled about beds and blankets from now and from the past. Remember no details of this part except girl was involved somehow.

Then we were back in Mt orab and the people in the back had to put their garbage out on our street and we let them come through our yard to do it. (Irl Thursday morning dumpsters dumping?)

Also KO reading my phone Facebook messages to me and Amazon lists.

Making hot tea for my mother, with lemon, and me and Rita O'Toole are going to go to store for some chips or crunchy snacks. Store is 1st stop in Winchester .i say about $$ not being used in my bank account from job i am not working

Trying to get kids off to school. tammy Tracy Collins Jericka Hill and the two kids from the dream keep making noise and clang banging and finally child Tammy yells for me that they need help they can't get the door open to go out it. Because garbage cans are piled up against the door; both metal and plastic some with lids. Only 4 cans though so where are the others?

Too late now to go to store but Rita and i decide to go to next town which turns into some other town before we get there and we are trying to find gas station/ convenience store that is open. We find a couple but they are for fancy cars so we don't go there.we go to one we think we know but it is restaurant instead of store and it is also a fancy car place and Tracy Collins wants to sit in a booth that folds out. Rita and i get mad because i can't sit in a booth so Tracy Collins can sit wherever she wants but she's being inconsiderate.

We are getting ready to order when we (I) remember we are just supposed to be getting snacks, not going out to eat, and here it is already 6 am and we have to get back.

Irl it is first 419 and then 438 am actual time.

vanishing vision?

dreamed of losing and discovering my glasses. Not sure how it started, maybe with dream me waking up and putting my glasses on, doing my morning routine, and realizing, as I am at my computer, that I can't see, so I must have forgot to put my glasses on. I go pick up the case and the glasses aren't there! I panic and start looking everywhere and sit back down at computer to see if anyone can come help me look for them, and I tilt my head up to see through the reading section of my bifocals. They were on my face!
Oh well, maybe in my panic I picked them up and put them on without realizing it. I've done sillier things at such times. (And before you laugh too hard, how many times have YOU looked for your phone using the phone's flashlight?)
Next I am in a house with my sisters and we're talking and all of a sudden I realize that I'm not wearing my glasses. (AGAIN!)
I had to have had them on! I drove myself to Rita's! So we all start looking for them, because neither Rita nor Jean could remember seeing them. Or seeing me take them off, or anything.
And I go to rub my eye, or scratch my nose, or something, and my fingers/hand encounter my glasses frames. They are again on my face! (Wouldn't you have thought my sisters would have looked there first?)
We marvel at how nobody saw them and they were there all the time.

********************

seems somewhat obvious -- I'm not seeing what I'm looking at. Or I'm not understanding something I can plainly see. Or maybe there's something I can sometimes see, and ignore, but also sometimes I don't see it. 

But what is 'it'?

Is it social or professional? (computer is where I both socialize and write.) 

Is it familiar? (my sisters.) Are we all not-seeing or not acknowledging something?

Could it be something mech/tech? (Car and computer. I have taken action regarding problems with my computer and I am more than aware of many of the problems with my car. For all its problems, though, it still, for the most part, gets me where I need to go. When it doesn't, I always wonder what would've/might've happened if it had, with a little frisson of worry.)

Maybe I need to change my outlook (vision?) 

April 7 2023; babies, cars, and cooking in a coffeepot

had mixed up dreams with lots of imagery and no thread to hold them together.I'll keep adding things as I think of them, because this is just a few. Tracy had secret baby, someone else's, only we found out and Rita got judgy and then upset when we were keeping secrets from her (who wouldn't?) A bicycle. Bread. working in flowerbeds (could reflect back to secret baby because creation?) Car, Car. something -- maybe several things --about car. Ron and Rita drove off in big old 70s style car with 50/60s style fins. A lot of music
Edit to add; cooking both beef and chicken in the coffeepot. The beef was perfect, but the chicken (boneless breasts) were half raw. Raw on one side, cooked on the other. Everyone was amazed at how well it worked, and then started complaining because the coffee tasted bad!
