Sleepy, busy Sunday! Did some resting, some eating, some shopping, a movie, some reading, some Qigong, and maybe more. Have PD dance class tomorrow plus reading aloud with GH.

Watched a Russian film (that I've seen before but didn't remember from the album cover)--The Mirror. It is a very subjective film with a mix of documentary footage, live segments, and lots of flashbacks and mystery elements. It is rated at 100% in Rotten Tomatoes, but it wasn't all that compelling for me. It was like watching a dream unravel with no clear reason for most of the action. Would like to see more this director's work, but don't think the library carries anything else.

I dreamed a complex, almost exhausting, dream series last night. There was an opening scenario in a house (that looked familiar--I'd seen it in other dreams) where a group of people were having drinks and appetizers before heading to a theater. We were going to see either a movie premiere or some kind of staged performance. Most everyone was taking some kind of transport from the house to the event. I decided to drive myself to the place.

When I arrived in the vicinity of the theater, I became confused as to where I could park and be near the place. I finally found a parking space that I thought was near the theater. The space was close to the theater entrance, but I had difficulty navigating to it when I started walking in that direction.

The show was a staged performance, which wasn't all that compelling. People were talking to each other and ignoring the show. Finally, the show concluded and we (people in the theater) mobbed out onto the street. Some were waiting for transport to arrive to take them back to the places where they had been picked up. I began to look for my vehicle, but nothing looked familiar.

I stood around for a bit, thinking that the crowds would diminish and I'd have a clearer view of the area. The crowds did thin out but nothing looked familiar to me. I walked to the end of the transport staging area and found that I was on a large open-aired truck bed. There were many people on the truck. I tried to find out where the truck was going and what was involved to catch a ride. I had several confusing conversations with people. Everyone kept referring to "Brother." They would answer my questions with an intonation of "Brother, Brother, Brother!" Their demeanor was weird and strange. I finally jumped off the truck and walked back down to the theater entrance.

Then, there was an entire dream sequence of me looking for my vehicle. I walked down dark and scary streets, through neighborhoods that should not be walked through at night. I went into dumpy cafes and bars. I managed to get some information from a few people where I might look for my vehicle and how to get to where I had parked it. I finally found the car and got out of that area. The dream left me jittery.
