Treasure Dream

I slept late this morning...guess I was tired last night!

I had yet another dream I found the treasure.

In the dream, James and I had been to Disney World (I think it was Disney, anyway), and there was this facade town we were walking through, and there was a stove pipe looking thing sticking up about four feet out of the ground. It was about six feet in diameter, so pretty big, and you could bend over and look in under the stove pipe cover.

It looked just lie this, but was on a giant scale, and set in concrete in the middle of a theme park.

We did, and didn't see anything we thought was special.

Soon after that, FF announced that someone had been looking right at it.  I thought back and remembered something vaguely square-shaped in that stove pipe. Then I searched online for web cams in the Disney area, and lo and behold, there was one overlooking the stove pipe.

But, Disney? Lol. I wasn't going to risk it, though, and sped back to the park.

I was driving an SUV with a physical key, which I promptly lost, and I was frantically searching for it only to find it was in my pocket all the time.

Then I got to the pipe, and... looked in just as some kid lifted the chest from the spot. I held my breath, and the kid's dad said, "It's a prop. Put it back." So, the kid did.

I reached in and said, "I'll take it, then." They watched as I picked it up, and speed walked out of there. The thing was more gold-yellow than bronze, and was like a cookie tin, with a lid you peeled off.  I did, and everything was there. I put it in a duffel bag, then reached for my phone in my pocket to snap a pic to send Forrest.

But I couldn't find my phone. I thought I must've left it at the pipe thing, so I started to walk back and over the loudspeaker someone said, "Mindy, if you have lost your cell phone, please report to Lost and Found. And by the way, you are not allowed to take pictures inside the attractions."

I couldn't remember breaking any rules or taking any pictures, but I headed over to Lost and Found and the very big guy was plopped down on a metal folding chair at a garage sale table swiping through all my pictures on my phone. The guy, not the table. Indignant, I snatched it from him and said, "Stop it. That's mine."

So he started to lecture me on taking pictures inside different attractions. "You're not allowed to take a picture of any surprise endings," he said with a nasally air of authority that grated on my nerves.

I replied, "If you find someone's phone, you're not supposed to jailbreak it to look at someone's personal pictures. You should've let the owner come to the Lost and Found to claim it."

He didn't say anything, so I rushed back to the truck I'd left unlocked with the chest inside. Once I was there, I opened the duffel bag, and the chest and contents was still there. I snapped a quick pic, and sent an email to Forrest, then woke up.

I know why I dreamed this. I have also narrowed my search area down to a very small area, and was starting to search the Internet last night for web cams in the area to see if there were any nearby. I didn't get too far into a search before something else in the search results caught my eye that was interesting, so I browsed someone's collection for a while, and recognized a pottery olla that had once been Forrest's.

So, I'll continue that search later today. I'm closing in, I think.

That podcast was immensely helpful in turning me back. Once he said, "Jiminy Christmas," I started listening. Lol.

Okay, I just did a search in Google Images for "Jiminy Christmas,"  and tucked amidst the photos of Jiminy Cricket and Christmas Trees, I found this inexplicable pic:

 

I guess if I saw someone wandering the street in those, I might be prompted to say, "Jiminy Christmas!" Lol.

Now, it's time to get moving. Have a great day!
