THE DREAM
1-28-01 - ( I'm going to put all the details in this dream, though I know them well, the readers of this dream won't, and they are important to follow in detail in the business world. )
DREAM - I was working in a large manufacturing plant, very similar to what I worked in, in the 70's and 80's in Milwaukee, WI, but it was not the same company from the looks of it, though it was certainly an old company.
My job, as purchasing clerk, which I also did in the 70's and 80's, was to prepare the paperwork for my boss and follow all the procedures, so he could just get on the phone and talk with his buddies and go to lunch, and go visit their plants and chit chat. He had the fun part of the job. I actually did all the work, outside of the manufacturing process itself which the hard working blue collar workers did.
I was handed 3 blank purchase orders, along with handwritten notes by the engineer, to manufacture something very precious, and in an extreme emergency situation. Nobody was going home until they were done with this. As it was, it was just before a Holiday, on a Friday, and everybody else was already gone besides the engineer, my boss, and me. And we only had 3 days to get it done.
I looked at the paperwork carefully. The purchase orders, for which we had to go out for bids on, was for a casting of Lady Liberty. A large one. (You can see Lady Liberty on our old U.S. silver dollars). This one would stand alone, like a statuette. It would be about a foot high ... similar to a Oscar statuette, but female.
.
.
. The engineer was trying to explain to me how a casting was made from the pattern. The pattern is constructed in two pieces, such that when the wood is put together, you pour the metal inside of it, and when the casting is pulled apart after the metal cools, you have a perfect statuette or metal part which is then machined and polished for use in conjunction with other parts. I already knew all this from having been in the business for 11 years, but the engineer didn't know I knew this. So, I was patient and listened to his explanation. This pattern was constructed like a round box in two parts.
After he left my desk to go talk to the boss, I looked more carefully at the paperwork on my desk and there was also a requisition to go out for bids for 'serial literature', of which there was also to be 3 , but in 15 chapters each. In big letters, attached to the requsition was a note that said, "Include LOC". That meant we were to go to a manufacturing place named LOC along with other places to bid. perhaps (LOC (Library of Congress)
I was ready to type up purchase orders, and then realized my boss would need a pattern card attached to it so he could see who manufactured it before and thus know immediately who to send the bids to.
I went to the file cabinet to find the pattern card which was numbered '1058'. When I opened up the pattern card file, all the numbers were in the 8000's range. These were old green battered file cabinets, so this company had been in business a long time. There were no longer any low range numbered cards. That's how long it had been since one of these Lady Liberties had been manufactured.
So, I had to get a brand new card (these are light green) and attach it to the requisition and purchase order and notes to give to my boss.
I went over to where the cards were stacked. I saw lots of old cards, for parts which we no longer manufactured. Even so those should have been in the file cabinet for record, but weren't.
My boss was then walking around. We made some chit chat. He told me that I was looking particularly good ... I was wearing high heeled shoes and a dress. He commented that he had taken another female worker with him in his earlier days and people had commented how fat she was and he was glad that I wasn't. (He named names, but I'm not including them here.) (What a chauvenist)
We also discussed how another co-worker had jammed the the cards into the file cabinet drawers so tight that you could hardly get them out again when you needed them. (This is really true to life conversation in the office)
Being done with my part of the work, I was ready to go home for the weekend Holiday.
For some reason, there was a little girl there, and she wanted to carry her Teddy Bear home with her, so I took her by the hand to lead her to find the Teddy Bear.
The scene switched and I was now outside, walking along a quiet country lane, a narrow path for cars, but not a main road. I saw what looked like an orange cat fur carcass in the bushes. I looked closer, thinking the cat was dead, but it wasn't, it was just resting, all laid out flat. When I looked closer, I saw that it had 9 companions. There were a total of 10 cats of various colors, all laying in the bushes resting. I counted them.
I walked a little further, and came across 10 more cats, all resting in the bushes. These all looked similar to the other cats, all different colors and patterns. A little further was 10 more cats, all similar. I realized at this point, all these cats were mine, resembled mine which I fed every day at home, but I obviously wasn't feeding these, they were hunting and feeding themselves. So, there was a total of 30 cats, in 3 clusters of 10.
I was getting close to home now, and saw that a farmer had placed a large log across a muddy section between a field and the road, between the bushes. (I wonder if this was the two Presidents ... 'George Bush' of which I was comparing yesterday when I saw them on TV) I couldn't resist walking on it to see if I could balance on it. A bush was overgrown on one side, so it wasn't easy, but I managed to walk easily on this log and balanced. I was pretty proud of myself.
Just as I was doing this, an old white, battered car came along the road. It was the newspaper delivery car. I saw that the driver was female. She stopped the car at the mailbox to deliver a paper, then started to get out of the car, waiting to speak to me about something. She was wearing large round sunglasses, looking rather more like a cop, than a newspaper delivery person. She was patiently waiting for me to climb the hill, up to where she was parked, but I was already lucid and waking up and I didn't get that far ... and woke up.
NOTE: Comment on the cats. The 30 cats could relate to a zodiac age as having 30 degrees. 360 degrees divided by 12. The cats may be related to Leo the Lion. There are some indications that the time cycle involves half the precession from the age of Leo to the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. The Sphinx for example faced straight towards Leo at the time it was apparently built. The Zodiac sign of Aquarius was directly behind. In the coming Age of Aquarius, it will be reversed. Aquarius is on the horizon now at the Spring Solstice. The Sphinx being the Lion/Man possibly symbolizes those two Zodiac Ages.
The Jewish calendar has 12 months of 30 days each. As represented by the camp positions of the 12 tribes in Numbers 2, it is a reflection of the Zodiac. The basic idea is to make things on earth like those in Heaven. The New Jerusalem is based on the same pattern as expressed in Revelation 21.
Since we had already made this pattern once before and the newspaper woman symbolizes 'news coming'... can hardly wait to find out what is coming. I may be stretching my hopes a bit, but if you remember the last time there was an event on a Friday before a Holiday and the result gave us 'freedom'.... perhaps we are looking for the 'second coming'....?
