Strange dreams

[fbhjr]

Dream 1
The other night (15th of September) I went to bed very early as I hadn’t slept much the night before.
I dreamed I was out at sea as the hurricane Lee was coming towards us. (And, at the time of the dream, it was.)
As I looked up in the sky and saw very even regular clouds steaming from the west. They were linear clouds all lined up parallel to each other, moving fast.

Then I saw the circular clouds of Lee coming in from the right. They hit the linear clouds and there was a lot of mixing in the sky around them. The water I was floating on got very rough.
Then, the linear clouds broke through and the circular ones fell back.

I woke up and went out to my computer in the living room (where my confused wife was watching a detective show) and checked the storm track.
Some time in the previous hour or so, the jet stream had pushed the hurricane farther off shore. And, my dreams seem to have known it.



Dream 2
I dreamed we were going to do a sword show in a beach town on Cape Cod near us. The town reminded me very much of Woods Hole. I haven’t been there in years, last bringing the godkids there in 2016. ( https://fbhjr.dreamwidth.org/1097034.html or https://fbhjr.livejournal.com/1099807.html )

I dreamed that we had not been able to find a hotel to stay in, so stayed in a Bed & Breakfast in an old historical house.
The town was very crowded with summer beach traffic and it took me a long time to find a parking space.
I went into the B&B to check in and the owner told me I couldn’t.
"It’s all computerized now," he said. "You’ve got to check in at the computer kiosk."
"Where’s that?"
"It’s over in the corner of the town public parking area for convenience."
"But, I’m here now. It would be better to let me do it here."
"Sorry, sir, you have to go to the kiosk."

My wife and I decided to walk rather than give up the parking space we had found. It turned out to be a long walk, across most of the town.
As we got to the parking lot one of the other cars of folks pulled up. I told them to find a parking space and join me.

The computer kiosk was in a corner of the parking lot along the side of the bridge over one of the waterways in the town. It was between an Amazon pick up locker and a bank machine.
I went up to it and it had a strange interface that was making me answer all sorts of weird questions to let me log in.
I had expected things like "reservation number" and "credit card used to reserve the room" and had them ready, but not things like "paternal grandmother’s elementary school" or "second cousin’s blood type".
"How does it know if I give the right answer?" I wondered, not knowing who to even contact to find this information.
"You should have made him check us in while we were there," my wife said.
"If I had known it would be like this, I would have."
Meanwhile I looked up to see the other car from the troupe driving far off in the distance still looking for parking.
Dream ends

Not totally sure what was going on in this one. We have a job in about 6 weeks near the ocean that I don’t have hotels for yet, but the town is in a swamp, not near a beach…
