I dreamt.
It was nighttime, my friend and I were at Fred Meyer. I was looking at nursery plants in a fancy glass case. There were baby ferns, beets, cactuses that secreted sap to trap bugs and various other plants. I was looking at buying some ferns to put in my backyard. The store was closing so the associates ushered us out. There was a giant crowd of people being ushered out the store and everyone was crowding and shoving each other. My friend was plus sized and many people were targeting her. They were pushing her and jostling her around. I started punching and pushing people away from her to clear a path to the door and to my car.
We made it to my car and I started it. People were driving like maniacs to get out of the parking lot, so I waited for the majority of them to leave and then left. While I was driving up the hill to my street, there were giant billboards up in the tree tops advertising Walmart’s ‘new’ logo. They were not there earlier that day so I was weirded out.
I turned onto my street. The first house on my left had drones above the house formed into the shape of a butterfly. A few houses down, there was a gigantic Victorian dining chair in someone’s front yard. It was about fifty feet tall. The cushions were beige with creamy orange floral patterns. There were two people sitting on a loveseat across the street, they were admiring the enormous chair. My friend and I walked up right behind them to take pictures of the chair. The people were extremely annoyed at us because we could’ve given them more personal space.
I drove down to my house and saw one of the neighbors down the street also had drones shaped like a butterfly above their house. As I was pulling into my driveway, one of my neighbors came out of the carport. He was excited to see me. He was an old man who didn’t have many friends and he enjoyed talking to me and sharing his home improvement projects. My friend, neighbor and I sat on a couch in the carport and started talking. Two wolves came up to us. They were friendly wolves that roamed around the neighborhood. I started petting one on the head, it growled at me and I stopped petting. I repeated this a few times and remembered that this is still a wild animal. Growling is the wolf’s way of communicating a warning.
I awoke.
Note: The next day, my partner saw a coyote near our house. Coyotes have not been seen around my neighborhood for many years since the area is quite urbanized and there is lots of traffic. The next night, I heard it’s yipping coming through my window as I was preparing for bed.
