For some reason I am back at my old house where I grew up with my parents, and I was about to go to sleep outside on the front walk. I was also with an old friend from there too, someone I haven't talked to in many years. Anyway, we're trying to go to sleep, or at least I want to, but she has a radio and wants to leave it on. I tell she needs to turn it off. She just turns down the sound. I feel annoyed by that. I tell her again it has to be turned completely off, not just turned down. I could still hear it. She just kept turning it down instead, as if I wouldn't notice. Finally she does turn it off. I need to arrange the bedding just so so it's more comfortable. Then I see there is this funny little wooden box that's carved to look like a scarab beetle. It also has holes in it so you could see inside of it. I take a closer look and see something inside of it is moving. I open the lid and there is a bright yellow beetle in there walking around. It's a very pretty color, and I admire it for a while before shutting the lid again and putting it on the ground. Then I try to sleep.

I only remember one part of my dreams from last night. I am outside and it's night time, and there are a lot of people sitting around. We're all focused watching a man in the middle of us all who has some boxes on a table. I think the place was lit up with torches. The man opens one of the boxes and takes out pieces of card stock paper. He draws them out one at the time, and each sheet of paper has a suit on it, of playing cards, the standard variety. I remember seeing only the suit cards, the queen, The king, the jack, and they're two out on the pages, giant sized, and the last sheet has the joker on it, which is a stylized depiction of the jester in red, yellow and black. This was the last sheet taken out of the box, and for whatever reason everyone is really amused and think this is just such a great thing, and then everyone laughs.
Additional Comments:
I don't know why I am so impressed in the dream. The guy wasn't doing anything at all interesting, he was just pulling peices of paper out of a box. You'd think he was walking through the Great Wall of China. The colors red, yellow and black are the colors of the German flag, and this is the only association I have with those colors, but I did remember them specifically, so I thought it was important to record them. Otherwise I don't know what the dream could mean. I've been sleeping rather poorly as of late. Also the pictures being two up on a sheet of paper is related to work. I make copies and when it's easy to do I will make copies two up on a larger sheet of paper, because we pay less for fewer "clicks" so we make more money if we print things two out.

I will write first what I remember doing and seeing.
1.) I am walking to a grocery store. I am doing this to go find a small box to put some stuff in. I
am planning on looking outisde the store around where they keep the trash in hopes I will find such
a box.
2.) The area I am crossing looks familiar to me in my dream (only) and it's a place I prefer to
avoid because the traffic makes it difficult.
3.) Where ever I came from I am staying either in a hotel room or with extended family. I need the
box for putting papers in. So I am looking for a box that is about shoe box sized. I had a box like
that, but I could not find it.
4.) I get to the store and immediately go to the side of the building. There is the usual trash, and
I see a box just the right size right next to a rusty gutter pipe. I see the box has some small
metal boxes in it. I am curious about what might be inside the small metal boxes (they're like the
sort you get those powerful mint candies in). They also bear the name of a company we deal with at
work "Aging with Dignity" which is a Catholic organization and they publish and distribute living
wills. (At work we literally print hundred and thousands of these living wills since the company
started). I am more curious as we are out of Florida (my home state) and I wonder what Aging with
Dignity stuff is doing here (I forget where here was).
The instant I tilt the box foreward to get a grip on the side of the box I see one of the little
boxes is open, and a little bit of un-evaporated water is still in it. I see a worm in the water.
It's very thin, like embroidery thread, and about two inches long. The worm seems to sort of shoot
right out of the water and into the skin of my left hand. I back off and panic. I try to grab the
other end of the worm and pull it out, and it takes quite an effort before I manage to yank it out
and throw the worm down.
At some point I am back home, and I can't seem to get rid of the worm. I was in my bathroom when the
worm does the same thing. It sort of shoots out and bores into my left hand. It's very painfull. I
manage to yank it out again and put it into a bottle of alchohol, in hopes that that will kill it.
The worm seems to battle me. I can actually feel it resist. Finally it begins to slow down. I watch
as all of it's color drains away and it becomes completely translucent. I can still see it's shape
though. It now looks more like a plant root with many filiments. A part of it begins to swell up, as
if filling with the alchohol, and the nit bursts. Some of the alchohol pops out from the surface.
The worm is finally dead.
There is someone else with me. I think two others. Teen boys, I want to say, and they have a strange
foreign look about them. They're both young teens. One of them has long dark hair and a strange wild
look about him. His skin is just a little dark, like he's might be Spanish, or Cuban. Around the
place where the worm exploded there is this stuff hanging in mid air. Like suspended wax. This stuff
seems to make sense to me. I explain it to myself that something inside the worm is very light, and
mixed with the alchohol is just hangs in the air.
Additional Comments:
The worm reminds me a lot of the spiral-ribbon thorns from my other dream "playing with the
elephant-headed avatar.
