I was young (teenager) and trying to walk home from school to eat lunch. I ended up in someone's basement, and I couldn't get out too easily. It was very muddy and dirty, and I remember seeing some very small tarnished Bali spacer beads, but it was more like they were hardware...nuts, bolts and washers. But very small, silver hardware.
I saw an easy chair, so I sat down, and then an animal sat down with me. At first I thought it was a sheep. It was very pale colored and had a very human face. The fur was soft but very short. Then it started growling at me, and insted of a sheep I realized it was some sort of large undomesticated cat, like a mountain lion, except it had spots like a leopard, but it was still very pale colored. It reminded me of a Lemon Chrysoprase pendant I have that looks leopard spotted. I tried to be nice to the beast, but it was getting rough with me. I was afraid I would become a Roy Horn sort of casualty at the hands (paws?) of this creature.
I think I was still trying to get out of the dirty basement. Stan was now with me (I guess I'm my present age now) and he spotted an elevator. He grabs some strange stuff in a spray can and starts spraying the elevator, which breaks up the rust on it which allows it to open up. He gets inside the elevator, which has a concrete floor, and he wants me to get inside with him, but I'm afraid it won't work and we'll be stuck in the elevator.
Then I'm in a car with Stan and we're trying to find a Pancake(s*) House. We're driving all around an ugly part of some city, strip malls, car dealerships, driving in and out of parking lots trying to find pancakes. I see very large letters on top of a building that seem to spell "Pancake" so we pull into a parking lot by the letters. We try to park by one of the letters (somehow, it seemed it was spelled differently in the dream) but we had a hard time getting into the lot because there was a swimming pool in the way and we didn't want to fall into it.

wow, that dream is hectic! do you messed up dreams when you are sick, btw?
Yeah, my dreams are even more messed up when I'm sick. What's annoying about illness dreams is that they get to be very repetitive...the same situation happening over and over and you can't seem to break out of it.
Pancakes...yummm... I love buckwheat pancakes.
I'm really happy that I was with you in the dream with you and maybe we need to go out for breakfast soon.
I asked because I had that happen to me night before last. I kept battling my illness! about every two hours I would wake up, look at the clock, which was mocking me, and it would start all over again. I would have to fight a new part of the flu that cropped up. why I just couldn't kill the virus straight out rather than fight the symptoms, I wish I new!
Last night I got a reprieve. It sounds like you didn't, though.
Oh, I hate sickness dreams like that, and I can totally relate to the surrealness that you were experiencing.
I hope you're getting better Dawn. I'm not sick myself, but my dreams are pretty whacked out nonetheless.
Hope you are feeling better soon Dawn.
Very strange about the basement - elevator part of the dreams... On the 2nd the washing maching (which is in a dark and dank basement) stoped working. It was going through all of the right functions, but the back and forth motion part had stoped working so the water and clothes were just sitting still in the wash cycle. After removing the front panel - watching the machine on the inside and thinking a lot about the situation.... I thought there might be some kind of clutch malfunction. I then had a moment of inspiration and thought it might need some lubrication... so I grabed a can of spray graphite for locks and sprayed it on the working parts just under the wash basket while the belts were spinning in a drain cycle. Then I tried starting the cycle over again and it did engage the (I think) clutch and the wash cycle did its back and forth thing again.
I'm not sure if this is a fix that will last, but for now the 17 year old washing maching is working again. If this is a fix it will save some money not having to replace the machine, but it is an energy hog... so if we do replace it sometime we will save money on the electric bill. The lights in the house dim momentarly every time the washing maching moter starts working. I guess it is a money saving situation either way - whether we keep the maching for a while or if it dies again soon.
I forgot to say that the washing machine - spraying - experience seems strangely related to the elevator - spraying - part of your dream Ann.
Just call me psychic.
