There was a guy who reminded me of the manager at South Hill transmission; a man who wasn't very attractive and maybe could have even passed as a woman if he really wanted to. He and one other guy worked at some kind of company who was run by a well-developed man in his 30s. We, as well as a few other employees who I can remember nothing about right now, were at the place of employment, which I recall as being out in some woods somewhere, not within the confines of a building. The main manager guy mentioned something to us about how we should, ". . . take a few swings now . . ." or something like that. I didn't know what he was referring to but then suddenly we were all on a sandy dune overlooking a beach and an ocean 50 feet away to our left. What the manager meant by taking a few swings was that he wanted to take a few swings with his golf club and hit some balls out into the ocean. The guy who reminded me of the manager at South Hill Transmission and the manager of the place where we were employed at in this dream took turns swinging at balls and smacking them into the surf beyond. I remember the transmission guy on a cell phone talking to a woman who he was trying to get to come watch him hit some golf balls into the ocean. Apparently, earlier in this dream he had tried picking up on a woman but had no luck, probably because he looked so strange. However, he didn't seem shy about it and talked to woman in a confident manner, saying stuff like, "Hey baby come on out and see me hit some balls" or "Come on sweetheart let's have some fun and get down," or whatever. As with earlier in the dream, he didn't have any luck getting a woman out to the dunes to watch us but it didn't seem to bother him. The first time he smacked a golf ball it didn't go very far, so our boss walked up to him and said, "Imagine that the hole you have to get the ball in is all the way around the world," and he pointed behind us to a spot just a few feet away. What he was trying to do was get the transmission guy to think that he had to hit a ball all the way around the world and have it land just behind us, thus giving him more of an incentive to hit the ball further. That did the trick because the next ball the strange transmission guy hit went further out into the ocean and was a respectable shot. Soon, our boss and Transmission Man decided to have a contest. They were each supposed to hit a golf ball as far as they could and whoever hit it the farthest was the winner. I don't know what the manager would get if he won but if Transmission Man won then he would become the new boss and the guy who was boss now would be demoted a step down to a lower rank in the company. I then went off to do something in this dream that I can't remember. I don't know what it was but it took a few minutes and when I came back to the sand dune I realized that I had missed the contest. However, I was surprised to learn that Transmission Man had won the contest. Apparently he had learned very quickly how to hit golf balls well, so well that he hit one further than our boss. Our boss was stunned and wide eyed. He was kind of walking around in a daze, saying stuff about how he couldn't believe that the Transmission man-guy-thing was able to beat him. This made me realize that there was much more to Transmission Guy than I realized; meaning that even though he looked strange didn't mean that he wasn't capable of excelling in life better than others. As our boss walked around in a daze he finally mentioned to me, or the guy in the dream who closest felt like it could have been me, about how since he had been demoted then he was going to take the position I had in the company and I was now fired because there wasn't a position for me anymore. I was surprised and shocked, realizing that I was out of a job. As my former boss walked away and I stood there among the other employees stunned as my former boss had been just seconds earlier, Transmission man came up with a great plan.
"Wait," he said, "I'm the new boss, right?"
"Yes," we all replied.
"So you have your job back, then." He was mug and nonchalant about it, accenting the way he appeared throughout the length of this dream. This gesture of hiring me back on the spot because he was now the main man because he won the golf contest and he could do whatever he wanted also showed that he was also cool as hell.

I was someplace where there were a lot of people, like a convention, but I can't recall any of the details of that. What I do recall is standing next to Loren Pope, my brother-in law. We were standing in some type of hallway and I remember the walls all around us were very white. For some reason I pushed Loren in his chest and he slightly stumbled back because of it. Immediately he took a swing at me in retaliation. Right as he was taking the swing his faced formed an expression that clearly showed anger and a desire to pound my face in. I don't know why I pushed him; if I did it just as a joke or if I was really mad at him, but he didn't like it one bit. He bared his teeth and swung at me. I was able to duck out of the way to avoid the punch but then he took another swing at me but I managed to duck out of the way of that one as well.

I was in a lush meadow-like field that was surrounded by a forest. It was your typical Washington State climate; dew and a slight mist permeating the area. The color of the grass in the field was very green and the grass was very thick and ankle high. There were some other people with me but I don't know who they were. I do recall seeing two guys about my age to the left of me and I get the feeling that they were wearing hunter type gear, or at least one of them was wearing a cap that had flaps on the side that covered his ears and this was why I got the impression that what they were wearing was hunter gear. To the right of me was the open field that stretched for I don't know how far. To the left of me was a dark green forest 50 feet away, dense with trees. I was walking along the field with these guys to the left of me and I noticed there was an elk just ahead and to the right of me. It seemed to be completely motionless as it stood there staring to my left. It was only 20 feet away. I clearly remember seeing its antlers and its dark brown fur on the front part of its body and the traditional light-colored elk coat on its hindquarters. Then there was some type of fence in front of me. All I can recall of the fence is three thin horizontal black lines 10 feet in front of me. I think the elk was outside the fence. The three black lines seemed to only appear for a second as if they just made themselves known to me just so I could get the idea there was a fence there. I get the feeling that I ran towards the fence and tried to or actually did jump over it. I may have jumped over it because the guys or someone else were after me, or maybe I just jumped it because I felt like it for no reason at all.

I was walking along a trail that was probably on a mountain. There were other people walking with me. Someone from behind me kept pushing me in the back as I walked so I turned around to see who it was. It was a black woman who was actually very good looking. She was in her mid-20s to early 30s. Her skin was lighter than most black people and she reminded me of an actress but I can't recall who. Her hair was shoulder length and curly and she had a wide grin with perfect white teeth and thin red lips. I guess she kept pushing me because she was just joking around and wanted to get on my nerves in a friendly way. I didn't seem to get annoyed by this because she was just horsing around. There was someone walking next to her who was probably another black woman but her details are vague. The next thing I recall is breaking into a jog. I don't know if I did that to get away from the black woman behind me or just because I wanted to get to wherever it was I was going quicker. There was one part on the path I was walking where there was a post or log that may have been part of a fence. I jumped up onto this part at the end of my jog. The next thing I recall is being in a house where all these people that had been walking along the trail now gathered. I guess this huge house is what we were all walking towards. The part of the house we were in was a large dining room type area with a large table in it. In a room beyond this dining area were many large windows where the white from the day outside swarmed over us and lit the place up. The scene almost looked like it was in black and white at this point. The table was rounded at one end while the rest of it stretched out to my right for 30 feet. This larger-rounded end of the table with its thinner (but still at least 10 feet thick) portion to the right of the head gave the table the shape of a gigantic key. There may have been a white tablecloth on the table and every seat around the table was filled. There was a black man that was in the room at the table and he also reminded me of an actor but I'm not sure exactly who that is, probably the black principle on that weird show Strangers With Candy. He was wearing a wig like the kind George Washington wore which gave him that colonial look. Something was mentioned to him and it made him laugh, or so it appeared. He kind of chuckled like he was amused then suddenly his face went straight, like a person does when mocking someone else's joke. His face went serious and blank so quickly and stayed that way that it made me and the black girl that was pushing me from behind laugh. We looked at each other and both our mouths stretched open to laugh. At first the laughter came out silent in a surprised gush of air, then finally we laughed hard, long, and loud. Then we saw the black guy again and suddenly he was riding some type of animal that I perceived as being an elephant, alongside the right length of the dining room. I don't recall any details about the animal other than its back was six to eight feet high. The black man's face was staring straight ahead as he kind of smiled a grin of glee and there was some talk among us in the room about how what he was doing was something he occasionally did to entertain people, like he was in a circus or something. As his elephant or whatever it was galloped alongside the table, the black man in his George Washington wig suddenly laid horizontally along the back of the animal and a one foot square protruded out of the back of the elephant. This pole was blue with some other swirling colors and it was positioned at the black man's waist where it held him and allowed him to lie horizontally as the elephant galloped by. Somewhere along here I tried to find a seat at the table so I could sit down to do whatever it was we came here to do (eat or talk or whatever). I found one at the head of the large rounded part of the table but the black woman who was behind me in the hike got to it first and she scooted herself into the chair, not really acknowledging that I had also been thinking about sitting in that chair. I recall seeing Charles somewhere else along the dining room table and next to him was a wide-open spot where his three sons sat and moved about. Charles waved his arm across the seat as if to indicate here-you can sit here, there's plenty of room, which there was. The seat he indicated was like a couch that was able to seat several people instead of just one or several chairs.
