expeditions of the mind

last night i had an interesting dream, not to mention very vivid. It was a dream with an atmosphere i can't quite put into words..You see, I was at work.....and i had opened a door i had never seen before. It was an exit door at the back of the establishment. Im not sure why i opened it but i did. As soon as i swung the big metal door open, a crisp wind engulfed me. i looked out and there was a long winding path....a dirt road, just wide enough for one to walk on started at the exit door and stretched as far as i could see......all through out this gorgeous valley.....a steep cliff on one side exposed a waterfall of some sort. There was mist where the path narrowed at the top of the hill. Greens and sepia tones were the color scheme....with a grey sky stenciling the tops of the hills. I looked around and contimplated telling someone of my find, but then shook my head and stepped foot onto the path, letting the steel door slam behind me. It was strange that this unoccupied, and undiscovered stretch of land was directly behind the All Valley Animal Resort...o.O i crawled over a crudely buily wooden fence, only about as high as my midbody, and started down this enigma of a path. I looked to the left, a heavy wooded area where i could see a small stone building next to a river. Strange, because that buildiing was very much involved in my dream the night before. I kept walking until the path forked. I looked around. I was at the lowest point in the path....the hills had indeed absorbed me at this point. Decrepit wooden structures, old houses....unused fences were littered amongst the hills, tucked into the places which were shadowed. I continued traversing down the path that went upward. As i did so, i heard my mothers voice in my head telling me, almost in a narrative voice, "and this is where i lost my two closest friends. They were killed in these woods and it made me very sad..." and then my mother was there. And with that newfound information i gave my mother a very sincere hug and told her that i had no idea. I felt deeply for her for some reason. Perhaps its because it was my mother telling me of such a sad affair which she had to experience. We continued walking together...speaking of all sorts of things until we came to a church......a vacant church. Tattered photos of children were thumbtacked on the inside hallway. I became a little uneasy and stepped outside, taking in my almost uneartlhy surroundings once again. I suddenly woke up to find Matty and Dudley snarling at each other which was very strange. Matty had bit dudley for one reason or another and he curled up next to me shaking. -.- i comforted him and scolded merciless matty....and drifted back to sleep. Unfortunatly i was not taken back to my outdoor haven, but instead to a large room with a wood floor and a cat. Damn those internet videos that patraic had shown me that day because i dreamt of rolling my cats hair into a long matted object and let it play. -.- gah. oh, how my dreams differ!!
I know jake was in my dream....and he played a significant role......but unfortunatly i cannnot remember. -.-
but i suppose in a nutshell that was what was going on in my head last night. very odd. very strange.
i must go to work now. maybe i'll open the exit door. just to see.
