The place I used to work at had been taken over by a clothing retailer. Dunno why I was there but the owners were talking to contractors about remodeling the place. It was going to be more expensive that the owners expected.

In my dream, Romans used stone from Italy for construction in Egypt. This required large heavy slabs to be transported down the Nile. Problem was, the Nile would get real low every year. I was on a boat transporting stone & it got stuck in a shallow part & as we waited for waters to rise, they just went down & the bed actually dried up where we were. I watched the bed dry up in a kind of time lapse photography. The water, even as it was ponding, was bright blue.

Was playing with a cat out on the street I lived on as a kid. Everybody had large gates out in front of their houses.
LATER
Was at my job in a large old building with very high ceilings. It kinda looked like my old junior high school.

There were a lot of people there & a lot of us didn't know what to do. I didn't. I did not know who my boss was, either. At one point I met a tall kinda statuesque black girl who, as it turned out, practiced Vodou. She had made a little snow globe thingie with a little Haitian hut inside. Anyway, I got some work but I had no idea where to do it. Then an older woman showed me a room off a room off a room that had the stuff I needed to photograph large tapestry type stuff. It looked like somebody's large 1 room apartment.

Joy & her new boyfriend had moved into the house up the street around the corner. A previous owner had added a large sunroom onto the side of the house & her boyfriend decided to turn it into an illegal bar.
The problem (besides no licensing) was, he didn't have any money so he was relying on everybody helping him & doing the work for him. Joy certainly didn't want to be a waitress & cook & when she protested, he knocked her around.
I wouldn't give him any money but agreed to do an errand. As I was walking up the street I ran into a group of guys. We talked & I wound up going off with them and abandoning the errand.
In the future, maybe on another world, riots and chaos had broken out. Volcanoes, earthquakes & floods were rampant. I was in a group of people who were trying to pull it back together. We sought out some guy who had something going for him, dunno what. We found his apartment tower. It was fortified but we got in. Power wasn't steady. Tremors shook the building & cracked the walls. Some of the residents had left and some were staying put. Our guy was on one of the top floors. We struggled to get up there. We found him and his wife. We explained our mission (which I don't remember) and gathered some supplies & started down to escape the building. The mobs had breached security, tho & we had to elude them to get out. When we got out of the building & hit the grounds, it was night. The grounds around the building were flat & grassy surrounded by woods. We took off into the night.

ok, I don't know what I was dreaming dreaming but I was lying on my side having a kinda waking dream when I felt pressure on me from above and behind. I tried to roll over but I could not. I was being held down. My face was being pushed into the pillow. I tried to break free but I could not. Then I burst forth, woke up and about flew out of bed. Thinking you have awakened while you're still dreaming is sooooo strange.
