Hello, thought I would give this a try.
The Dream.
I had a dream tonight where I was on top of a very high bluff, arount 1000 feet high. The top was covered
with very green grass. Three sides of the bluff were sheer drops and the west side was dense forest.
I was playing ball with my daughter when she was around 6 years old, she is in her early 20's now.
Someone unknown was hitting fly balls and I was fielding them. My daughter was running after me
while I was doing this. The top of the bluff was sloped and we were running back to the top when I
suddenly realized I was very near the edge on the south side and I had to skid to a stop to keep from
running off the edge, my daughter was right behind me and had to do the same. I walked to the top
of the slope facing east and there was a set of steps that went down about 10 feet to a lookout point
that had no guard rail to prevent someone from slipping and falling off. There was also a large body of
blue water at the base of the bluff. When I was walking down the steps to the lookout point I saw my father
"now deceased" setting on one of the steps. I had a hammer and a large steel spike that I was going to
drive into the rock for some sort of anchor to help prevent people from falling off. I asked my father in an
indirect way, I wonder how hard it would be to drive the stake into the rocK and he replied "very hard."
I started to drive the stake in a large rock on my right side that looked like lava rock which turned into a
gray glove which then grabed the metal stake and seemed to kind of swallow it.
I steped back and what I thought was a large rock was an old burn barrel which was half full of burnt trash
and something inside it was moving around. All the sudden a baby raccoon came climbing out of the barrel.
I first thought it might attack me but when I seen it was a baby I was no longer worried. It walked up the stairs
to where my daughter was setting and then crawed on her back and was playing with her hair.
I told her that it might have rabbies and to be careful. I then looked down and another baby raccoon was trying
to craw under the steps but had gotten stuck. The raccoon was very clean and the fur on it's bottom side was
light gray and very fuzzy.
I wondered how it was so clean having crawed out of a trash barrel. I was thinking that if it's mother came
out she might try to attack me so I did not try to help it. I then woke up.
