The Empty Hospital
I am walking down the street, there are three of us. We may be pushing a grocery cart or stroller. There may be a baby. It has the feel of being a street person because we are in the process of walking a fair distance. We have a destination in mind, I am leading us.

We are stopped by the police and questioned. I explain out circumstances and we go on our way.

We are getting very close to our destination and there is a blockage along side the road. We stop to rest and are confronted by the police, different ones, again.

I tell the officers that I used to work just around the corner and I know right were I am. They are not impressed. There is apparently a large drugstore just around the corner, close to where I used to work at the hospital. When I mention the hospital there faces take on a demeanor of respect and we are fine again.

We are now in the hospital. we are in a large room with a high ceiling and I as talking with a friend, a woman, I used to work with. The phone rings and I am trying to pick up the call. It is an old fashioned single line phone and the call won't go through. My friend has me take the call on the multiple button master phone and I begin to talk to my friend in England, Carole. We work through the confusion of why I am answering the phone, she needs to arrange for a large meeting place, it is not clear if she has business with the hospital.

My friend at the desk explains that the building is empty except for her and will be for some time. I tell Carole the circumstances and say the space will be no problem. I tell her all the hospital people will back in a week or so, but my friend shakes her head "no" with no explanation because I am still on the phone. I wake up.

Notes. Day 2 of 30 journaling days in a row. Had too much too much to drink last night, but still realized if I had asked "who am I now" I would have realized I was in a dream. Do this 10 time+ today.

What does the dream want? The major themes include career, respect, family responsibility, the employment insecurity in the wider public. I need to not be walking down the stree like a homeless person.
