[Publib] Bookmobile Dream

[brad thomas]

My bookmobile dream has to do with the vehicle's generator not working in the middle of the summer - and it's terribly hot without an AC running. At every stop, the kids pack in so tight that we don't have enough room to take our coats off. 

 

However, my favorite library dream involves me during my time as a children's librarian. I'm putting on a puppet show, and all the kids start taking their socks off and gluing googly eyes on them to make their own puppets. The parents all come in and get terribly angry because their kinds now have only one sock to wear home, and they call my boss over. In the end, I have to run to the dollar store to buy all the kids new socks - but when I get there, all they have are XXXL socks for men. 

 

So at the end of the dream, all these kids are walking out of the library in these big floppy socks, and the parents are all screaming at me that they will "get me for this!"

I am having the following reoccurring dream:  I show up at my library (haven't worked at this library since 1991) and I am late for my bookmobile route. Then, I realize it is the "new bookmobile" and I'm not sure I can drive it. Then, I realize that I do not know how to get to my stops. I'm late, I'm lost and THEN I try to stay on this narrow cliff path and the bookmobile slides into a lake (Lake Mead in Nevada to be exact). Does anyone ever have a dream that they are late for their route, cannot find their stops and are lost??? I hated the feeling that everyone was waiting for me. This dream probably has something to do with being out of control of my current life, or elements of it. I haven't been a bookmobile librarian since 1991, but I do think about bookmobiles frequently. 
 
I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who has a bookmobile dream. I'm interested in compiling them and possibly sharing them in the Rural Newsletter.
Thanks in advance and stay dry!!
Susan
