There is a charming gathering of elves, they seem a little shy and a little mischievous all at once. In another brief vision I see a small flock of birds flitting around on the ground. It occurs to me that elves and birds are the same, the birds somehow BECOME the elves.

My mother is driving a small car and I ride in the backseat. Through the windows I can see beautiful vistas in every direction of a sparkling cityscape with very white roads. The city is built on a series of hills, we must be near the top of one because I can see everything as though I'm on a ferris wheel. I exclaim to my mom, "Oh, I think I've dreamt something like this before!" I jump around in my seat, happy. (I've been trying to incubate a lucid dream and certainly this should have given me some lucid clues. A: my mom is dead. B: I actually have dreamt such a city before. Why my mind refuses to let me become lucid is a mystery to me.)

I'm upstairs in my (dream) house. I'm either getting ready for a trip or a party, and the small child I'm caring for keeps me too occupied to get ready properly. I ask Anna (who in the dream is about 18 or so and still lives at home) to help me care for the little girl and she agrees reluctantly. I can see that Anna isn't REALLY going to watch the girl like I would, but I need help! It's everyone's birthday and I have left the preparations until the very last minute.
Rae and Greg come home and I can hear them banging around downstairs. Rae is calling up the stairs that she wants to open her present. I yell back that she can't until everything is ready. Why oh why did I leave things to so late!! I still yet have to go out and buy presents for Greg and Anna. One of them is getting a watch I know.
Switch and everyone is in the bathroom trying to take a shower. Greg has just left the room, he's taken a shower in the big bathtub, the one we never use (dream bathroom). A sludge of green brackish water leaks out of the tub faucet and I wonder how he managed to shower in that water. I have some clothes hanging there to dry and a bit of the green gets on a pink down vest. I rinse it off with the SAME water...another lucid cue down the drain so to speak. Everyone else (Anna, Rae and a few dream family members) are trying to all get into the small shower stall to take their showers. I'm not interested in a family shower, so I grab a washcloth and head to my room for a quick spongebath.

A longer dream story in which a young wife meets up with a handsome stranger named Kevin. Only he's not really a stranger, they've been together before anonymously in this strange town they find themselves in. It's like a facade town, meant for fantasies. The wife is Kerri Russel from the movies and TV, only her name isn't Kerri in the dream. She and Kevin drink together in a small dark bar, then leave to go up to Kevin's room. The next scene is of the Kerri character laying flat on the bed, dressed in frilly grey pajamas. Kevin is giving her a massage, and it's clear that Kerri is directing the action. Kevin is frustrated because the assignation is turning out to be so much more platonic than he expected, there's not going to be any sex.
In a bizarre and cruel switch, the Kerri girl gets up in the morning to leave for home, but she's been kidnapped by the owner of the hotel and will be forced into servitude (the underlying impression is that it will be sexual servitude). Her kidnappers dye her light brown hair to black, for a disguise in case anyone comes looking for her. I see her fearful eyes in the very last scene.
(I read a short blurb of a movie last night in which some actor ..maybe liam neeson...goes searching for his daughter that's been kidnapped by a slaver)
