Dream Pile-Up

I've got a little pile of dream notes to type up here, from two nights in a row of ripe dreaming.

Dream 1 - Stealing Olives on a Twig

KT and I are at a Wegmans in a mall and the building is very grand, of course, with tall, floor to ceiling glass windows that look out on the surrounding parking lots. We stop at an olive display, and he hands me a twig of olives, takes one for himself, and starts chomping away. I join in, because they look delicious. A worker in an apron approaches us and very curtly tells us we'll have to leave the store. I insist that we were intending on bringing the twigs to the check-outs and would gladly pay for the olives. She emphatically repeats herself and escorts us out. I'm mortified and KT is gleeful!

Dream 2 - Backseat Driver up Front

Shannon and I are in a car together, and I am driving. Though, this is a car where there are steering wheels, brakes and gas on both sides. She keeps trying to control the car by increasing the gas, and forcing the brake. This is frustrating the hell out of me, so I insist that we pull over and she drive. She is only happy to do so.

Dream 3 - Film Screening

KT and I are at a film screening of a documentary about a self-identified male transvestite (a really outdated term, by the way). He lives in Israel and is tried in a religious court for his supposed crimes against gender normativity. The title of the film is really stupid, I think it was, "A bad, bad man or a good, good transsexual?"

After the film, there is a discussion period and KT raises his hand. The moderator calls on him saying, "Yes, how does this relate to you, as a lesbian?" We get really pissed off, because the film was pretty awful, and everyone at the screening is very ignorant. I say something loudly about how people shouldn't assume how someone identifies. And then we storm out together.

Dream 4 - We can't be Friends

I am meeting up with an estranged friend at a coffee house. We had been sexually involved in the past, and then cut off ties altogether. I am currently with KT, and am only interested in a friendship or being polite acquaintances.

When he shows up, he gives me this whole spiel about how he is incapable of being friends with women. He says the only thing women are good for is sex, and he gives me an ultimatum. Either I kiss him, see if we still have chemistry, or get the hell out. I get the hell out, and don't even bother trying to argue with him about friendship across genders.

Dream 5 - Selling the House

KT and I are in our house, but of course, it looks vastly different in the dream.

The basement has high ceilings and a sewer-like feel. We are surveying what we have stored down here.

He tells me that he is selling the Ranch, and looking at other houses to buy. He had not told Lorien or Jim, and was just telling me, though he had already made contact with a realtor to get prospective buyers out to look at the place. I very huffily told him that this was why Shannon had left, because he was always changing things and making huge decisions without notice or consideration for the other housemates!

Dream 6 - Performance Artist for Hire

I am at a fancy soiree that some b-list actor is hosting, with the hopes of resurrecting his career (I wish I could remember who the actor was!). He has hired myself and some other women to do performance art at his party. I also don't remember what we did, just the feel the party--kinda warehouse, dirty, rave-type setting, black walls and minimal lighting. When it came time to pay the performers, he told us that the profits (somehow he was charging people admission) were only $50,000.00 so he'd only be able to give us $60.00 each. This was the rate he paid out to myself and two others, apparently because we were "unknowns."
