Construction barge at the beach
Hello everyone. I've just gotten active after a long hiatus from the site and have been making my old rounds. I figured that I like to interpret so I'd give others a chance to have a go at mine, so here goes:
26Mar08
This one takes place on a wide, flat beach with rolling dunes opposite a dark sea. I am standing in the center watching what looks like construction take place on a barge from a small wooden pier; all of the workers are wearing skirts like ancient Egyptians. On the hills I can see trucks through a small telescope. I look briefly at the trucks before I loose interest. I turn my attention to the barge. There is a crane lowering a metal disk that a crew of workers guide to cover the open end of what looks like the hopper off of a cement truck. I approach the pier and begin to talk to their foreman, who just so happens to be a friend of mine and is wearing a white and red head dress. As we're talking, I get the feeling that his workers don't respect him. I see them glare at him out of the corner of my eye.Another person walks up, it's the foreman's supervisor. The foreman immediately starts to get nervous and soon goes back over to work on the barge. The supervisor says nothing to me, I'm not being ignored, but it seems that we're both content just watching the men work.
*The friend of mine who appears as the foreman is someone I work with who has lately been having trouble with his superiors.
As far as relevant information goes, I'm a young, recently deployed soldier and haven't recorded a dream in almost two years. The friend of mine mentioned has had a couple of screw ups lately and is pulling extra duty to make up for it. I just recently stopped being afraid of people with rank, but still give them the respect they deserve. My friend usually ends up getting assigned to another detail whenever a sergeant comes around. I went to the beach every so often when I was younger with my family and my parents both work in the marine shipping industry(they use barges) but neither work construction. The most relevant construction reference would have been my last stepfather, now deceased, who was a carpenter.
I already have my own ideas about what this one means, but I'm interested in seeing what everyone else thinks.
