If you follow my dream posts, then you know I have vivid and unusual dreams. Last night I had another pair of odd ones. In the first dream, I’m in a parking lot that doesn’t have very many cars left in it. It’s late afternoon and there’s a large blue semi trailer parked at the far end with a small group of unscrupulous characters around the front end and a dude in black clothing sitting in the cab. I’m about 50 yards away with my work partner and a pony. My partner and I are undercover agents, not police exactly, but some kind of group who fights against animal cruelty. In this situation, we know that the people we’re meeting are in the business of selling ponies into something unsavory like forced racing or maybe a glue factory. My partner and I are a man and a woman, and I’m the woman. Also, in this dream reality, it’s normal for people to have X-men like powers. As my partner and I approach the semi with our pony, the pony balks and tries to trot away. I then use my powers to capture the pony and bring it to the semi. I should mention that until I used my powers, I didn’t know I had powers. I just instinctively put my hands out toward the pony and this blue light shot out. It surrounded the pony and immobilized it. I easily lifted it off the ground and carried it to the bad guys where I placed it inside the semi. This truck had a door on the front end right behind the cab. The inside of the semi was dark and empty. I had this notion that I would be going with our pony decoy in the truck and proceeded to enter the semi too, but the door suddenly closed in front of me before I could get in. I realized at this moment that this game was going to play out differently than I thought and we may not be able to save the pony in the process. I felt immediate regret for using the pony in this way. I knew it trusted me. At this point, my dream consciousness shifted from the woman to the pony inside the truck. As the pony, I knew I was in dire danger. It was dark inside the truck and completely empty. I reached a foreleg out tentatively toward the door knowing it wasn’t going to open and then stepped back. Everything then faded to blackness.
In the second dream, I’m in the backyard of my parent’s house, not the house they actually have in waking life, but in the context of this dream. I’m myself and the age I am today. The day is warm and it’s sometime in the late morning. I’m admiring the new swimming pool and hot tub combination they have recently installed. It surrounded by a wooden fence for privacy and set amongst whitestone pavers. It’s unlike any I’d ever seen before. The pool was a large rectangle and off one side was... not the hot tub, but a beautiful bathtub with chrome fixtures! It was a huge outdoor bathtub, easily large enough for 2-3 people. It seemed to share the same water and filtration system as the pool, but the water did not spill or flow into the pool. The hot tub was completely separate from the pool and bathtub. It was off the far side of the pool. It’s design mimic the design of the pool, only smaller but still plenty of room for 4-6 people. However, it also shared the same water and filtration system as the pool and bathtub. This filtration system functioned as a channel that connected the pool and bathtub to the hot tub. I could see small pieces of debris, like leaves, being carried down the channel and into a reservoir on the side of the hot tub. I placed my hand in the water of the pool and noticed it felt warm, which surprised me. I figured it too must be heated. The water itself was a light emerald green, rather than blue. I suddenly became aware of a long piece of clear plastic floating in the pool. I tried to fish it out, but it was caught in some kind of current. It got swooped into the filtration system. I watched it go down the filtration channel and into the reservoir. I was impressed by the system. I said to myself, “I should put on my tail (I have a merman tail...) and go for a swim.”
