dream at hotel on my dakota trip

this dream was had on the way out of the camping zone and back to chicago and detriot.

i drove a long way out of my way to see the home of laura ingalls wilder and was super cranky and tired so i got a hotel on the mississippi river in st. cloud minnesota.

this was in july of 2006.

this is written exactly as i wrote it when i woke up in my travel journal.

brian called to say that instead of picking me up at the airport he was going to get me at the hotel. he called to say he was there and to get the room number. i was just getting out of the shower and told him room 126.

the knock on door- i opened the door and lucas and brian were out there with a large tour group. they both had on nametags. lucas was on the door side so when i opened the door to let them in, only lucas came in and brian took off with the group. i only got to look at brian for a second in the eyes.

so lucas and i were hanging and i told him that brian was going to quit smoking. he was skeptical but i started giving him his gifts and we talked and then brian finally came back. but then my aunt mary anne and grandmother showed up. i am not sure how but we all got in my rental car with my aunt tassy and my uncle phil and we drove through this crazy mountain range and in big giant puddles of water.

we eventually made it back to fairport, new york. we had to go there to talk about truckers and this woman i don't know was talking about brandon (at present i am not sure who brandon is though i have known a few brandons in my life) she was very tall and she made up words, very vulgar words apparently, to a dixie chicks song and she sang them to my aunt but not to me.

brian was laying on his belly and i wasn't sure why but i was pushing his legs as if stretching them. my aunt tassy knew how to 'something' about a car and money and so i told them i would loan them 20 dollars but i had to wake aunt mary ann and grandma to get the money.

i got to our cars cause that's where they were sleeping and a man was telling me how this band "D-Con" didn't show up to play in fairport and how disappointed the town was ....then i realized that my grandmother wasn't there. (apparently earlier in the dream my gram told me i was tough--not sure what that has to do with this but could be about the stranger man).

my grandmother was sitting on the sewer grate at teh side of the road. i have money to my aunt tassy after getting it from my grandmother.

-the end.
