Dreams relating to football. April 12, 2009
Woman plays football: We go to a “high school” football game. Bright daylight. I’m on the sideline. Our team is in medium blue uniforms with red numbers and white trim. A petite woman from church is the only girl on the field. There is a kickoff and the other team returns the ball. They don’t get very far. And after the tackle is made, a player on the other team just kind of stares at the woman like he’s mad or something. The woman, wearing her glasses, just sort of backs up. The referee has to make the guy move back. We are trying to figure out where the ball is spotted. Is the other team at the 10-yard line or the 30? The yards lines seem to be scrunched at this end of the field.
Football game on a hill: Then we go to a “Shelbyville High School” football game. Day time, although not as bright as the previous game. The field is very strangely laid out because one half of the field has been flooded. We can’t use that end of the field, so the opposite end zone goes beyond the fence and down a small hill, which a ticket booth has been built into. There’s a small part of the field that is marked off with orange flags that is too flooded. You have to run around that part. My youngest brother goes up a path along one side of the hill and building to try and see what’s going on in the game. I try to get up there, too. But it is crowded.
