Dreamed I was involved in a multi-vehicle wreck. It happened near the coast along the coast highway. It was night and a sports car lost control and managed to cause three or four other cars and trucks to leave the road and careen off into the sand dunes. No one was hurt, but all of the vehicles were stuck in the sand and couldn't be moved.

I indicated that if we walked north, along the beach or road, that we'd come to a facility that I knew was there. The problem would be that the complex was a research facility and we wouldn't find it easy to enter. But, we had no choice. The place where we were stuck was fairly remote and it didn't look like there was other traffic we could flag down.

We walked along the beach and came to the complex. We managed to enter a large parking lot and approached a gate that separated the lot from the buildings. As we neared the gate, a woman stepped away from a laboratory bench and challenged us. She asked what we were doing there. She said that the facility was a government complex and only people with special clearances were allowed to enter.

Somehow, at this point, the dream flow shifted and I was holding a piece of equipment that was some part of the operations. There was also another piece that was being held by one of the other people from the wreck. The woman pushed an alarm button and told us to stand still. Of course, we all took off. There was a lot of scrambling about, but we were soon surrounded by guards. They took the object from the other person. I hid my object in my jacket. Eventually, they let us go and I walked away with the metal object in my coat. About then, I awoke.

Not sure of the segue between the two dream elements or the transition between walking up to ask for assistance and having picked up the metal objects. Also no clear reason why they let us go and me keeping my object on me. Clearly a cluster of dream images that my subconscious wanted to bind together no matter the sacrifice of logic.

Been a slow day. Spent quite a bit of time trolling Craigslist seeing what kind of jobs, gigs and situations are being offered. Eclectic array of possibilities. I registered for a Yahoo focus group--will see if they ask me to come in. Came across a part-time position with Zazzle.com. Interesting site and an obviously interesting position. The job notice was over a month old. They no doubt got tons of inquiries. Zazzle and Google are talking with each other about a merger or such. Zazzle concept, user-created products (postage stamps, t-shirts, cards, posters, and so on) looks like an idea whose time has come. A lot of sizzle with Zazzle.

Saw several requests for written contributions to websites, publications, etc. Will start sending stuff to these various sites and see what emerges. Meanwhile, it's dream time again. Moon was hanging in the sky tonight like a Japanese paper lantern. A haze of clouds gave it a soft look, orange and luminous. Moonlight melodies.
