Snakes and Angels, Surreal dream bits

I’m asleep in my bed in my current room. There are centipedes walking on the ceiling above me. I keep my eye on them because they make me nervous. I spot a really large centipede (it almost looks like a snake) walking along the ceiling. It’s made of glass and nearly invisible. I don’t understand how it can cling to the ceiling and not fall. I’m afraid it’s going to fall and land on me. As i watch it walking down the ceiling towards the door, it falls and lands on the foot of my bed. I sit straight up to shoo it off the covers and realize i’m only dreaming. (At this point in the remembering i’m not sure if i was really awake or still asleep and dreaming inside a dream but i’m pretty sure i did sit straight up for real.) Once i realize i was only dreaming the centipede fell on me i lay back down and go back to sleep. I hear Strawberry Fields and don’t want to wake up yet but realize that i’m only dreaming i’m hearing Strawberry Fields and dreaming about waking up and the centipede was a dream because my bed isn’t against that wall and i begin to think about different ways my bedroom has been arranged trying to remember if i ever had my bed on that wall. I can see my old stereo on the stand, and i realize i only dreamed i sat up in real life because my split mind knows that my bed isn’t against the wall and when i sat up i was aware of the wall by my right side. I begin to wonder if i’m really in my current room or (because of that particular stereo) if this is my Manassas bedroom.

I’m playing a game (chutes and ladders?) but i’m also the moving piece in the game so i “see” from two perspectives. In this game are many different size snakes, and i am also a snake. The object is to pass through the hazard of larger snakes to enter the maze which will bring you to the next level. There is a very large snake in front of me and i go right in to its giant gaping mouth even though i realize this is not a good move. As soon as i realize it’s not a good i turn around and come back out and realize that the giant snake is a dead end, but it’s not malicious. Awake i know this game is Leela, the game of Life. Watch out for the snakes. They represent setbacks.

Then Strawberry Fields really comes and i really wake up and hit the snooze the first time. In between snoozes i dream that Mike and i are ?in the yard/on the lawn. We’re going to the car and while he’s standing still, i’m flying in lazy circles around him. He is amazed that i can fly and i say “I told you i could fly!”

Then Strawberry Fields comes again and i hit snooze again. I had another dream but all i remember from this one is a lady in a white gauzy gown. She’s telling me something. She seems to glow from a source of light that comes from inside her. She might be an angel or a goddess. I feel very peaceful. Last Strawberry Fields. Time to get up for real.

TGIF

Going to dinner tonight i saw one of those scion 'square' cars in orange and it reminded me of another dream from last night.

I'm driving my new car. It's a tiny little compact car but what's so cool about it is the color. It's a pinkish peach color with a shine so deep that looking at it is like gazing into the clear water of a calm lake but instead of blue reflection of the sky, it's like a reflection of a sunset. I'm not as thrilled with the fact that i have a new car as i am by the uniqueness of its appearance.
