I'm lying on a pier floating just offshore out in the ocean. I don't seem to be able to move, though, and the motion of the water suddenly makes one of my legs roll a little and fall through a hole in the pier so that it's down in the water below. I'm terrified! What if a shark comes and bites off my leg?
A large wave washes me ashore, though, and into a house. I look back at the doorway I floated through and see that a huge wall of sea foam is now coming in, and people standing near the doorway are getting engulfed by it.
I wake up and go back to sleep.
In a new dream, my mother (deceased in real life) is driving my brother, D__, and I somewhere. She's going to drop us off and continue driving. But something about this arrangement is nagging at me -- didn't we have her license taken away after her big car accident (IRL, it was back in 2000)? And why would we let her drive somewhere by herself? I worry myself awake.
My two-year-old niece, A___, and I are playing with a wingless fairy woman that's riding on a little horse that's just the right size for her. My niece wants to ride, too, so she turns around and starts to delicately sit down towards the area behind where the fairy is sitting. I rush over and stop her, afraid that she'll crush the little horse. A___ starts crying the second I do that, though, and I'm immediately lucid ... I realize that the magic of the dream probably would have let her ride the little horse with the fairy. I feel awful ... I've ruined the magical moment for my niece, and she won't stop crying!
I wake up and get a funny feeling that my niece and I may have just shared a dream. But there's no way to find out, because she's too little to even understand what dreams are yet.

It's my mom's birthday.
We're all outside near a lot of cars and are trying to celebrate it there.
The dream shifts so that
we're saying goodbye to L___'s spirit (she died IRL some years ago). I'm crying
and I say, "Bye L___!" as I walk away.
But she's already in some
other state, for she's looking in another direction and seems in a trance.
(shift) I'm shopping with
Mom, Dad, and my siblings. We stop at the house because I need to get my keys.
I can't find them (but the house is one I'm only familiar with in the dream,
I've never seen it in real life), so I go in the back yard.
A coworker's husband, G____,
is there and I recall talking to him in an earlier part of the dream (that part
is now forgotten). He tells me he's traveling with his younger son on the road
-- they're living out of the car.
I'm shocked -- I work with
his wife, L___, and she didn't mention anything about this to us. I ask him
if the other son is still at home with L___.
Someone says, "Look
at that sky!" I see dark storm clouds racing in and a wind kicks up. I
need to get back to my family, so I try to go back through the house. But now
I realize I've fallen asleep ... however, I think my real life waking state
is being back in the car with my family from the earlier part of the dream.
So I shake my head to wake
up and discover that I'm in my bed in real life.
I see that I also woke
up sometime during the night and wrote the words, "walking through the
wolf woods" on my bedside pad, but don't recall doing it.

I'm driving over some
boardwalks that go across several rivers. My siblings and my mother are with
me. Then we get to one and see that it's flooded. So we get out and try to walk
through, hoping that the water is shallow, but very soon I discover that it's
too deep for my mom to get through (she seems to be in the same very ill condition
that she was right before she died).
"How do we get Mom
across?" I ask.
She tells us not to worry
about her, and she starts trying to forge through the water. But almost immediately
she begins to trip on rocks that are underwater, and I dash over to her and
stop her.
Suddenly she turns into
my cat, T___, and the problem facing us changes to that T___ has a fever (but
I don't notice the change). My brother, B___, tries to comfort her. Then my
other cat is there, too.
I put coins in a payphone
to call for help. But the rotary dial on it turns into an antique clockface.
The clockface solidifies,
leaving me with no choice but to figure out how to dial numbers using just it.
I try touching the numbers on the clock that corresponds to the real life number
for my workplace, including the area code (and the correct number for real life
was indeed in my memory) -- but the numbers keep jumping around before I can
touch them.
I wake up.
Additional Comments:
The meaning of this dream seems to jump out at me. Perhaps my mother's crossing over to the next existence is
represented here by the river. She tries to cross it in her frail condition on her own, and I try to help her -- but if she is
indeed crossing over to another existence, she does have to do it without me, and I can't help her. Perhaps when we die
we stay in the same condition of bad health for a while until we figure out that we can will ourselves to be healthy again.
Also, while my brother had many fights with her, he was very close to her. Strange that she turned into my cat, though.
Precognitive of my watching Dr. Who today, in which there was an old clock face AND an old pay phone in the
episode.
