I'm a Ferocactus dream
In the beginning of the dream our friend Bill took Ann and I to a restaurant building at night and gave me a recipe for soup. The next day I returned to the restaurant by myself because I left my coat with a pay stub and the recipe in the pocket in the building. I sat down at an uncleared table and ordered a soup and salad, and was eating in front of left over dirty dishes. A young boy came up to y table and spat chewed up food in my soup and salad. I stopped eating.
I approached a table of older men and asked if the owner of the restaurant was among them. He was and I explained to all of them that I had left my coat and was hoping to get it back. I had to describe to coat in detail, the information on my pay stub to them. I told them there was also a soup recipe in one of the pockets, but I hadn't read it yet. I explained that I needed the pay stub so I could balance my checking account, and I wanted everything returned.
They told me that even though these things were mine they couldn't be returned to me.
In the end of my dream I was some sort of Ferocactus living in the sandy soil of a hilly plane. I think I was a Ferocactus acanthodes, and I felt very happy about being a cactus and even happier that I didn't have to be incarnate in another human life form.
When I woke up I had a new idea for germinating some Ferocactus seeds this spring, and I also thought about a Ferocactus flavovirens that had been given to me as a gift in 1996. I had stupidly watered it one winter and killed the main mother plant when it was about 10" tall, but most of the tillers survived. I still have about a dozen of these little plants and they're all doing well.
Today at work I spoke to an old friend/coworker who told me that a women whom we both knew had passed away. The woman who had passed away was the woman who had given me the large Ferocactus flavovirens as a gift. She had cancer and I had known that she probably wasn't going to be around much longer, but I was still surprised to know that she had died. The Ferocactus flavovirens she gave me was is one of the best gifts ever, and I'm very happy that I still have offspring from that plant.

Wow, that's a wild dream:
Not only are you dreaming about cactii, you are dreaming you ARE a cactus!
It's also prophetic that you dreamed about that cactus that M. gave you, and then today you heard she had died. Maybe she was trying to contact you somehow?

I think you're right, and she was contacting me perhaps to say good by.
