This dream was interesting in several ways. Not only it had interesting bizarre situations, but it had a main theme, even within most changes - women. Be it about mothers, daughters, sexuality and other symbolism. The other interesting part is that it connects clearly to several real life situations.

It all started with me, my brother and father taking mom to a hospital. She was pregnant, and she was already getting contractions. The baby girl - my sister - would be born soon! For some reason, though, we went walking. Mom seemed to be having a hard time, but didn't seem to think of getting a car either. Anyway, we were close to the hospital. I did briefly stop to think how weird things would be, and how it was unlike mom to decide to get pregnant so long after my brother and I had grown up.

Apparently, they all got to the hospital, but I couldn't stick around, because I had to work! I was suddenly at my job - I was the manager of a fast food restaurant. There was a problem here, though - we were in a neighborhood where only black people lived, and while I've never been a racist, it turns out most of them were racist towards white people, so I spent most of my day scared of leaving the place, even when I had to take out the trash, or get things from a shed outside. Even the people who worked here or our customers would stare at me angrily.

Suddenly, someone appeared and we started talking. The person started talking to me and asked me if I was taking care of the "GLBT area of the event". I was confused for a second, but then I took a look around and realized (read: the dream changed) that the restaurant was actually part of some big cultural event, and wasn't in a dangerous neighborhood and neither racially-exclusive. Huh.

It also turned out I had a lot of work to do. Our food was made by this special dispenser machine which was operated by our staff. However, since there were so many customers, it would soon run out of food. My friend B. showed up, and she was helping me sort out the things I needed to do or get done, even though she didn't work here. We sat on a table, while I told her how busy and stressed I'd been.

Later, I'm walking around, working, when I see B. sitting with another girl on a table on the back. I think about calling her over to help me out, but decide against it. Somehow, I hear an explanation. It turns out that girl was a lesbian, and like B. she used to date a guy that had cheated on her. It turns out that this girl had given up hope on men and now only liked girls. Apparently, in the same way that happened to B., and now the two were in love. They kissed, and while I didn't have anything against it, I wondered how awkward things would be. Since I'm friends with both G. (her boyfriend) and her, how could we all hang out normally ever again?

I'm at a riverside with some friends (Ga.? B.?), and my bosses R. and M., as well as their daughter S. IRL, S. is still a baby, but here she was a 4-5 year-old girl. Her hair was blond and long. She could speak really well and was a really smart kid. As we talked, she turned into a baby tiger briefly, as she had that power. She transformed back and either cursed or misbehaved, as R. spanked her once on the behind, not really strong. For some reason, things started to look like a comic book (I could see everything in panels), and I woke up.

Some interesting connections:
(1) Mom always dreams about taking care of babies or being pregnant. This time, I was the one dreaming that SHE was pregnant.
(2) R., who would show up in the fourth part of the dream, was actually a manager of a fast food restaurant for several years, in the past.
(3) B. and I actually work together IRL, and we usually sit for quick follow-up meetings or for strategic planning. Also, like in the job in my dream, we had been in quite a hurry lately.
(4) B. had actually broken up with G. due to his infidelity, once. They got back together, but unlike the dream, they seem to be doing just fine now, and B.'s never shown any homosexual tendencies. Interestingly, when they broke up, I had the same worries about hanging out with both of them.
(5) S., at least for now, has black hair, though R. is blond.
