Last night as my neighbor was moving stuff in and out of her garage I dreamt that I had left the doors open and people were coming into my house and stealing stuff. I woke up a little bit. Remembering that last time I dreamt about robbers in the house there had been robbers in the house, I attempted to drag myself out of bed, turn the light on, and wander down the hall to the kitchen. There was a nearly horizontal stripe of light across the front window, which didn't make any sense to me. I stared at it for a bit, then woke up a little bit more and realized I was still in my bed. It was early morning, just starting to get light. I tried again. I pulled the blankets off and tried not to disturb Yoru in the process. I went into the hall and saw that my laptop was missing. The back door was half open (the screen door was still closed), but the front door was wide open. I went out in front and YC's old printer was lying in the grass along with the vacuum cleaner and some crates of things. Stuff was strewn all over the side yard. I took my bike pump and banged it on a pole to try and get the attention of the neighbors. I went back inside and saw that the light in the basement was on. And I saw that bright stripe again. I woke up a lot more and realized that the stripe was the sky out my bedroom window. Once again I pulled off the covers and pried myself out of bed, trying not to disturb the cat. All doors were closed and locked. Phew. So I went back to bed.

I had another dream then that the whole family was over for some kind of party or something. Sarah and Hannah were there, too. The police came to the door. I saw that someone was climbing up a rope toward the NW bedroom window and I went to that bedroom so I could greet them. In the dream the window faced down a hill and there were some trees and another building (like a shed) outside. The guy said something official sounding to me through the window and I let them in. Then maybe there was some discussion about things, and it became obvious that these were bad guys. They tried to kidnap us all, and I had to run down Reetz to escape (I was doing sort of a slow-motion run with really big steps, but I was moving pretty fast and got away). Eventually I killed 2 of them with a railroad spike (by whacking as hard as I could over the head, not by stabbing). They still had Sarah and Hannah, though. I was hoping Jason could come help deal with it. I went running and ran into Shanie.

Today we went cat stuff and grocery shopping. Met some cats at Mounds. I got a litter box and some yummy canned food for Yoru.
