Dream: I drove my mom to a forest and left her there...

Had a weird dream where I was looking after a group of kids, and we lined up to see these great displays in glass counters at a market. The line snaked for blocks, and was rather long. While looking at some of the displays, I saw "[Sara H.'s last name in capitals] PORN" on a big sign. Of course, I wanted to shield the kids' eyes from this! When we got to our destination, I quickly distracted the kids with some water slides. After this, we were transported to a big blue house under cover of night. There was a kids' party going on, complete with party hats / cake / adorable kids with curly hair / quadruplets / twins. It was very fun!

My mom was also there, and eventually she got really intrusive and annoying. Eric, Steph, and I discussed what to do out of her hearing. We drove her to a forest on the pretense of "just going for a drive" (it helped that we saw a farmhouse with cows and pigs who could travel through time and fill voids in books) and left her there! My sister told me to keep a close eye on the ugly green car we'd chosen until she'd walked Mom into the forest a little ways. When she came back, she told me that I had to drive! Man, I was nervous, since I didn't know how to drive! It was a bit scary, and I kept worrying about crashing into the trees since the car didn't have auto-pilot. She encouraged me, and I finally made it to the blue house as a white-knuckle driver. Once we returned, Uncle Joel asked me whether I needed a ride with him and Auntie Cissy to another destination, this one in Richmond. I told him that I didn't, since we'd taken three cars there, including Eric's grey beater. The dream ended when we were picking our own mushrooms as dawn broke.

Interesting - not sure what the triggers were, except my mom's questions and my asking Uncle Joel / Auntie Cissy about the dark purple / dark blue choir robe samples yesterday. Finally, a change from the white ones they've been using for at least fifteen years!
