o, augh, everything started out all jumbled and then it resolved into a clearer storyline...

there was a sequence involving being in a town sort of like Ventura, looking for Maria's (my boss) high school buddies - instead we found a storefront in which our VP was selling authentic hawaiian cuisine - Ellen's Hawaiian Cuisine.

then I was in cubicle land, and everyone's work areas was cordoned off into little rooms. I think I was working at a place that produced computer video games. {Maria and Ellen, who are from my Work in real life, had nothing to do with my Work in this dream} my college friend Naomi worked there too.

this office building was like a 2story building in the same Ventura-like town. my mom was coming to visit. I was very excited about her coming. I hadn't seem my mom in a long time. I was worried she's get lost. someone told me she had been let in by reception. but I couldn't find her. I tried using AIM to chat online with people about it but everyone I talked to said she had just left the room.

I talked to Naomi a bit about the whole thing and she tried to calm me down. finally my mom and I hooked up. we started catching up on old times, and talking about currently done and currently needed dental work. she showed me some bridge work she had had done. what remained needed on our mouths was remarkably similar.
