Guilty Lying Thief
I am using crazy Rube Goldberg steering wheel setup while talking on phone. A truck veers to miss me and crashes. I move on, leaving the scene of an accident, unscathed and unnoticed? [Guilty]
As I am driving I consider turning myself in. Then I realize I am in a story (lucid dream?). So if I am in a story do I need to turn myself in or just wait and see how the story turns out?
I arrive at a school/college and am tremendously guilty and fearful I will be discovered. It is all over the news. I keep my head down an rapidly navigate the rest of the dream.
I am with a group working on cleaning and I as assigned to help with the floor. I see the edge of the soles of my shoes (look like slippers with soft soles) are muddy. I take care to wash off the dirt carefully (to conceal the evidence). I am very proud of my thoroughnes.
I arrive home or at a friends house, there are children about. We are preparing for a nap and I realize my shoes are still wet and am thinking about drying them with a towel, on the sly.
I am now in a busy hallway with students coming and going and in open rooms I can peer into. Everyone is working on various immediate tasks. As I am leaving the area for a space more secluded I am assigned a task by the principal/dean. It comes in the form of a note dangling in the air in front of me. I take it. It is a writing assignment. There is a fellow student/friend (black woman) walking with me. The assignment is based on a single word. She asks if I know the word. I say yes dismissively, [Lying]but have uncertainties I do not express. As we are walking up some stairs and out the door I grab a paperback dictionary. [Thief] She is still reading my assignment over my shoulder, playing with words out loud and announces something like Mocha Boca!
Notes: Very vivid. Woke up, used bathroom and returned still remembering the dream. Tried to reenter...only marginally successful.
What does the dream want? For me to have more integrity.
Reality Check: May be about the stuff I am buying under the guise of real estate investment, e.g., nice knives,

Dreams to Action: Give up my knives? Meditate on this...really meditate, 24 min+
Ideas from Dream Group Discussion: This dream is profoundly positive. What appears as a series of misteps are bumps along the path to be a better pereson. Should I dwell on the problems of the past or the direction forard. The one word that explains it all...it's simple. Hanging in front of my nose, like Groucho Marx', You Bet Your Life. Not necessarily easy, but simple. What is that word? Does it matter?
