Red Door



I have left my job at Westrock to go back to school. I study banking and when I am done, I travel to my dad's work to offer my services. It's been a while since I've seen him last. He's gained weight and no longer is he donning stylish jeans but rather baggy farmers clothes. I am happy to see him. We hug and I tell him that I'm looking for a job. He gladly offers me one. I will be his recycling company's newest banker.

I explore my new workplace. I find myself on the rooftop opposite my work. The roof has a bridge that leads to the next building. I cross it. I enter a corridor that leads to one red door. There is a screen in which many words are flashing at random. At one point the screen spells "potato chip." It's revealed to my mind that this is a place where the rich and famous mingle. The screen is now telling me the exit the premises. I do so.

Electric Feel

A Dream From The Past




     I've returned to my old job at QRS Recycling. As I work, I fail at something, but I cannot remember. My supervisor, Justin, reprimands me in the break room. As he chews me out, I glance out the window. A garbage truck is driving through the parking lot with his back left up. He snags a power line and pulls it down. Since it is night, the workers cannot easily spot the wire. A worker accidentally touches it. The electric pulse soars through his body and throws him like a rag doll into the air. He falls lifeless to the ground.

     Several workers, unaware of the situation, walk from the factory toward the break room. Many of them touch the live wire. Each is thrown similar to the first. Those of us in the break room run to warn those left. I hear sirens. I am afraid that I will die. I cannot die tonight. I run and hide, but I feel as if the electric wire will find me no matter where I conceal myself. Dream ends.

Cupcake

Dream 11/8/2017



I'm working at a company called QRS. It is a recycling center. I am doing the landscaping. I bring my cat, Tandy, and let him run around. I have to admit, I am very nervous that Tandy will run away or get run over by a large piece of equipment. I keep an eye on him.

I start by mowing a hill. When I am done, I need to walk over to the hill on the other side and grab a flat wooden board. Then, I need to completely cover the wood with cupcakes and lay it on the freshly mowed grass. Then, the girls, I think they are cheerleaders, will come and take the board with cupcakes and return it to their building. I do this. When I am done, the hill is completely covered with boards, which are covered in cupcakes.

I walk over to the building where a bunch of men are working. I plan on mowing this area now. A bunch of cardboard is covering the grassy area, so I move it. I then get a call from my mom telling me that she is going to pick me up and I need to finish what I am doing. I look around and try to figure which is the most important area to mow. I settle on the front yard but then a guy named Ben tells me to mow another area. As he wishes.

I start mowing the area that Ben wants me to, which is the hill that I first mowed, just further down. As soon as I start the mower and move forward, I run over something. I cut the engine. My cousin, Quinn, runs over from the main building. I look at the object that I hit. I looks like some kind of Maritime equipment. Quinn makes it to where I am. I apologize to him. I offer to pay for the object that I destroyed. He says that it's okay but I know it isn't. I can see on his face that he is upset.

Later that day, my family, including Quinn, and me are over at the barn where the cheerleaders took the cupcakes. I don't see any cupcakes though. Just a bunch of farm equipment. Quinn points to an area of woods and reminds me of seeing something scary there. He then walks me deep inside the barn and shows me a room. The room is scary. I feel a heaviness here. I'm unnerved. I tell Quinn that I once walked in here with the lights out and I was alone. I didn't notice it until now, but Quinn seems a bit sinister. Just in the way he is talking and the look in his eyes. He isn't completely there. Something isn't right.

When the sun has gone down, my mom and I need to return to the barn. Maybe we want to see the scary room again. We try to turn on the lights but are unable to. We walk to the circuit breaker and try the lights there. For some reason, the lights will not turn on. Dream ends.

Workplace Drama

Dream 8/2/2017



I've returned to my job at QRS Recycling. The place looks much different. The men on the crew hate their supervisor. During the shift, they kill him. They put his body in a junk car and with a bobcat, place the junk car back in the junkyard.

Since the supervisor is gone, I can now have my old job back which is driving the large front loader. I walk over to where it is parked. Some mexican guys are over there. They say something to me but I don't understand them. By their body language, I think there is a problem with the line.

I walk over to the vending machine. Inside the machine are items that you would not usually find inside a vending area. I see a yellow hard hat and "brownie points with the boss," which wouldn't be worth anything since the boss is now rotting in a car out back. Dream ends.

I wake up.

Busted

Dream 10/9/2015


I am working security at a recycling plant. 

     My jeep is parked where I can see all entrances to the property. I fall asleep in my jeep. I wake up at 7 AM to my mom honking her car horn. I immediately panic because I've slept four hours past my clock out time and at any moment the upper management will arrive and find that I am a horrible security guard. 

     I tell my mom to hold on and I check out the premises to see if anyone is here yet. I see my boss and some other workers. I try to avoid them. Dream ends.

Security

Dream 9/11/2015



I am a security guard.

     I walk the grounds of the Recyclery that I watch. The facility is close to town but fairly secluded. At one point, I hear a noise. A girls faint voice finds its way to my fearful ears. I try to convince myself that the voice is coming from off the property, but before long, I realize that it's coming from inside a large box just inside the factory. I am the only one here. Nobody works tonight. The way she's talking sounds like she's having a conversation with someone, but I hear no one else.

     I sneak over to a place in the shadows, where no one can find me. I call the police and tell them to get here quickly. They arrive. I point them toward the box. They have to climb over a load of cardboard to get there but when they do, they find a girl in a box talking on her cell phone. She doesn't seem homeless, just someone who wanted some privacy.

     The company rewards me. I come in the next day and they give me a cape and a crown. I walk around the place like I'm a king, but nobody recognizes my royalty but me.

     A few nights later, I'm patrolling the grounds when I hear a noise. I get scared and hide inside a portable shower. I turn the shower on and get soaked. The police come and catch a guy and haul him away. Two other security guards show up, a girl and a guy that I know. They both tell me that the last time they heard a noise, they too jumped into the portable shower. All of us laugh. Dream ends.

I wake up.
