First dream: I had a dream about working on a painting that I am doing right now. The scene was a half blue half red landscape. With a Bright red and orange sun set in the background. A bright waterfall that was red and yellow fell on top of about 10 bookshelves that were toppling over. Underneath the setting sun with the red saying came in a blue Forest. The forest had trees that were broken and dead. Painted with a haze or fog. The bright picture ended up very dreary towards the bottom. A strange man came into my dream to talk about my painting. I look like an everyday business type of guy without a suit. he asked me why I didn't give full credit for the stock pictures that I was using as references. I said I thought I did, (when I really did). he criticized the darkness I painted in the bright picture. I kept painting while he held something. It was an ancient looking wooden tube. It was long and carved. I look down inside of it like a kaleidoscope. There was a brown geode in there. It looks like a sliver of an agate. When the sun hit it it shimmered a rustic Brown and golden outline. I told him to wait before he leaves so he can look at it too. He held it up to look at it with a small but then seemed unimpressed. Second dream: It was summer and we were swimming and outdoor water park. I was sitting by the shallow end in the pool. My mother-in-law was sitting behind me. She was working on a portrait of herself. it was a really pretty unfinished portrait that look just like her. but the more I stared at it the more it turned into another person. My mother-in-law has a small face with brown bangs a very long straight hair. The girl she was drawing had a short round face with black short hair. This was a person I've never seen in real life. Maybe I'll meet them in the future. I had a dream that my little girl was at a kid party, most likely Chuck-e-Cheese. She really wanted Sonic and Tails plush toys. So, instead of winning the tickets, my husband offered to pay for them. They told him it would cost over $100 for both. I said that's ridiculous and told him that we can order it online for cheaper. Before we left, she sees two little kittens. They were abandoned apparently. And, she insisted on taking them, even though I said no because we have 3 cats all ready. We ended up putting them in the car with us.
