THE DAILY DIVERSION

Yeah, that pretty much sums up the last two days for me here at work. It seems as all I've been doing is tapping my fingers on my desk. Well, that and browsing the internet. However, no one, here in the office, is really busy right now. We're just kind of biding our time for something to do. Several people are leaving for the west coast this weekend, while others barely have any work assigned to them, so they're stretching it out as long as possible.

I, however, am just waiting. I'm waiting for the weekend to get here so I can head to Lafayette for the Sun Belt Conference basketball tournament. However, I can't really leave until my project is completed. I can't complete my project until we get the final word on one part of it, and until my boss proofreads it and lets me know what I need to fix. Then it has to go to his boss for proofreading, before we can ship it out. We've been basically done with it for a month now, but one small thing is holding the completion up.

So, I'm tapping my fingers on my desk. Some people would twiddle their thumbs, but I prefer to just tap away. When I'm not tapping I'm listening to music (more because the bag of douche next to me has been in rare form the last two days than anything) and finding different things to keep me occupied. Yesterday I started looking at Marvel.com, the comic book site. If you register, which is free, you can read a lot of comics online. So, I did that for the better part of yesterday afternoon.

Anyway, on to other things...

I had a dream this morning. Usually I would say last night, but it was this morning. I woke up right at 6 am out of it, and decided to write some things down. Here's what I got:

I'm at a gas station and I'm driving a white Ford Econoline van (like the one in this picture, but with blue striping).


I'm getting ready to go to school (high school I'm assuming), but I don't have the right shoes to go with what I'm wearing (yeah, this is sounding really gay to start off). I'm wearing mostly gray with red trim, but my shoes are my suede navy blue adidas. So, I take them off and throw them in to the passenger seat when my Dad and Step-Mom show up on a small raft and offer to take me to the house to get my red shoes.

All of a sudden we're floating around in some kind of bay, where they park huge boats. Mind you, we are pretty much on a Tom Sawyer type raft, floating amongst all these monstrosities, and just their wake from sitting there is tossing us all around. My Dad is steering the craft from the back, while my Step-Mom and I are laying on our stomachs, trying to keep our bodies out of the water.



I don't know how, but we're at a house, and we're waiting on my sister to show up. She finally does, and she's wearing a sweater that looks like a pair of socks I own. There are two cups of iced tea sitting on an end table, one in a blue cup and one in a red cup, and we're trying to figure out which one is mine. I tell her that mine is the red one, but I'm pointing to the blue cup. I'm confused so I wake up.

Now, I'm going to do something that I haven't done in a while, and try to analyze this thing. There are so many different aspects, and I'm going to go by the book (like the old days).

1. The colors "red" and "blue", since they are recurring items in this dream. Here is what "DreamMoods.com" had to say about the color Blue:

Blue

Blue represents truth, wisdom, heaven, eternity, devotion, tranquility, loyalty and openness. The presence of this color in your dream, may symbolize your spiritual guide and your optimism of the future. You have clarity of mind.

Depending on the context of your dream, the color blue may also be a metaphor of "being blue" and feeling sad.

and here is what they said about Red:

Red

Red is an indication of raw energy, force, vigor, intense passion, aggression, power, courage and passion. The color red has deep emotional and spiritual connotations.

Red is also the color of danger, shame, sexual impulses and urges. Perhaps you need to stop and think about your actions.

I find it odd that I'm trying to get away from Blue and change to Red. They are pretty much opposites, with Blue being more passive and Red being more aggressive. Maybe I've been bored lately and need to do a little more with myself?

2. The Bay or Harbor that we're traveling through. Here's what was said about it:

Harbor

To see a harbor in your dream, signifies shelter from a stormy relationship or chaotic situation. You may be seeking refuge until you can recollect your thoughts and prepare for the challenges ahead.

Well, as many of you (if you read relatively often) already know, I have a less than desirable relationship with my Father right now. I think it's important that he and my Step-Mom are in this part of the dream, because I'm hoping it's a sign of something. I know we need to deal with our issues, but I guess I'm just biding my time right now.

3. I find it amusing that my sister comes in to the events after the Harbor scene. She is usually the mediator between us and I hate putting her in that situation. I had no clue what the tea could symbolize, until I looked it up, and it kind of brings everything together and makes some sense:

Tea
To dream that you are making or drinking tea, represents satisfaction and contentment in your life. You are taking your time with regards to some relationship or situation.

So, does it all make sense to you? No? Me neither! Have a good day anyway!
